Watching Disneyland Fun again twenty some years later is quite the experience, and it definitely brought back great memories from when I was a kid.Īnd that is just what Growing Up Disney is all about! Remembering all those awesome Disney touches from childhood that made every day special. Several years ago, my nieces and nephews became old enough to start watching the tape, and much to my surprise I was able to find it on Amazon in DVD format (Sign Along Songs go modern!). As an adult, it’s pretty hilarious and enjoyable. There are dancing creepy trees, all your favorite villains and Donald decked out as a ghost with his butt sticking out of the sheet. The best song however, hands down, is “Grim Grinning Ghosts” filmed on the lawn in front of the Haunted Mansion. A real gem is also the “rap breakdown” in “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” which is really about as 90’s as you can get. Highlights of the video include the Country Bears sharing their rendition of “The Great Outdoors,” a piano solo from Mickey himself in “I’m Walking Right Down The Middle Of Main Street, U.S.A,” and Mickey shooting fireworks style sparks out of his fingers for the finale. The first song, “Whistle While You Work,” shows all of the characters busy prepping the park for opening, and soon guests dressed in what can only be described as purely late 80’s/early 90’s fashion are streaming down Main Street. The tape progresses through a typical day in Disneyland from opening to the fireworks finale every night. From those first chords of the introductory cartoon, I was transfixed. Coming in at just under a half hour long, it was the perfect after school tape to watch while enjoying some Dunkaroos (or any other stereotypical 90’s snack).

Released in 1990 as part of the Sing Along Songs series, Disneyland Fun was a live action sing along which featured classic Disney songs filmed in the park. Literally, this VHS tape was a daily staple in my house. When I first started thinking about what item to feature first one thing immediately came to mind- Sing Along Songs Disneyland Fun. In addition, I’m going to be sharing some awesome nostalgic Disney items from my own childhood and beyond which I hope you all enjoy! From board games to toys to movies, I recently raided my attic and found some gems. Since each one of you reading grew up in their own unique environment and time, I’m really looking forward to featuring one person every month in sharing what Disney specifically meant to them as a kid. Hello and welcome to Growing Up Disney! My name is Caitlin and starting now I’m going to share a couple articles a month focused on what Disney meant to each of us while growing up.
