I hope you all enjoyed this ranking of my Top 8 area music loops.

Luckily, thanks to YouTube, I can still listen to this incredible 19 minute experience whenever I want. Best of all, it contains a beautiful backdrop. Then slowly, but surely, we lost all of it, until today, where the new main entrance loop plays throughout most of the former Future World. The channel’s Disney Christmas mix is a whopping two hours long and samples several festive tracks from The Magic Kingdom at Christmas.

Nothing would bring me more joy, and truly make me realize I was on vacation at Walt Disney World than hearing the “Future World Theme.” It was saddening for me when the hallway behind Club Cool closed, as that was the area I most associated with this music. The first half was an existing piece, entitled “Papillon (On The Wings of a Butterfly)” by David Arkenstone, while the rest was composed by Russell Brower and became known as the “Future World Theme.” I have memories going back as far as I can remember of walking through EPCOT, listening to these incredible pieces. This loop originally debuted in 1994 along with the opening of Innoventions. Magic Kingdom Disney World Entrance 1hr Music Loop From NYC to Disney and Beyond. Nothing has ever more perfectly encapsulated the feeling and emotion of an area than the fantastic Innoventions area music, which unfortunately played for the last time at EPCOT just before the Festival of the Holidays this past November. The magnum opus of all Disney park music.
