The Disney Song Encyclopedia by Thomas S. Hischak,Mark A. Robinson Pdf

Songs written for Disney productions over the decades have become a potent part of American popular culture. Since most Americans first discovered these songs in their youth, they hold a special place in one's consciousness. The Disney Song Encyclopedia describes and discusses hundreds of famous and not-so-famous songs from Disney films, television, Broadway, and theme parks from the 1930s to the present day. Over 900 songs are given individual entries and presented in alphabetical order. The songwriters and original singers are identified, as well as the source of the song and other venues in which it might have been used over the years. Notable recordings of the song are also listed. But most important, the song is described and what makes it memorable is discussed. This is not a reference list but a true encyclopedia of Disney songs. The book also contains a preface describing the criteria for selecting the songs, a glossary of song terms, a list of all the Disney songs and their sources, a songwriter's directory in which every song by each composer/lyricist is listed, a bibliography, a guide to recordings and DVDs of Disney productions, and an index of people and titles.

The Independent Walt Disney World Encyclopedia Vol 1: Magic Kingdom by George Taylor,Kevin Yee Pdf

Looking to remind yourself where the Galaxy Palace Theater was? Nostalgic for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Curious which songs were in the Legends of the Lion King show? This volume about the Magic Kingdom is the first in a series of comprehensive books about the Walt Disney World parks and resorts. The authors combed through numerous official sources such as park guide maps, official books, the official Walt Disney World website, and D23 publications and blogs to collate their information, and cross-referenced it thoroughly with unofficial sources, like third-party books and guides, fan websites, news websites, and fan blogs and podcasts. The result is a first-ever comprehensive listing of attractions, restaurants, and merchandise locations in the Magic Kingdom. Read through more than 400 entries that catalog the Magic Kingdom's history. You'll find information on long-gone shops and restaurants like the Yankee Pedlar, Lancer's Inn, Merlin's Magic Shop, and Nemo's Niche. Of course, you'll also find complete listings for extinct attractions such as Mike Fink's Keel Boats, the Plaza Swan Boats, the Safari Club, and sentimental favorites like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Not to mention the entire history of Mickey's Birthdayland and the three lands that replaced it! Anything given an official name warrants an entry. Each entry provides a brief description of the item, its dates of operation, what came before it (or whether it was present on opening day in 1971), and what replaced it. If you're reading about an attraction, restaurant, or shop, you'll also learn where it was located. Readers interested in a particular location may wish to start at the helpful index, which documents all the pages in which that location is mentioned. The index also adds a few items that were not main entries themselves. As the title implies, this work has not been endorsed by the Walt Disney Company and is an independent effort. The authors are noted Disney historians, bloggers, and authors who have been covering the parks for multiple decades.
