    817 · Music of Disney's Animal Kingdom
    Feb 3 2025
    817 · Music of Disney's Animal Kingdom Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a soundtrack unlike any other park - one that immerses us in nature, culture, and adventure. From the peaceful Oasis entrance music to the high-energy beats of Harambe, the ethereal sounds of Pandora, and even the kitschy rock vibes of DinoLand, USA, every note plays a role in the park’s storytelling. This week, I take you on an audio journey through the music of Disney's Animal Kingdom, exploring how its music enhances the experience, the live performances that bring it to life, and even a look ahead at what we might hear in the upcoming Tropical Americas expansion.

    🙋🏻‍♀️ What is your favorite piece of music or area music in Disney's Animal Kingdom?
