OK, this video is for my 4 and 2 year olds but I find it charming and strangely reflective. It was shot in the early 90's right about the time I was graduating from high school so the scenery and fashions really bring back some memories. It also provides a time-capsule look at rides gone past like the People Mover, Skyway, the OLD Tom Sawyer's Island, Tomorrowland before the makeover and more. The kids love it too and seem to really enjoy the "Main Street USA" and "Step-N-Time" sequences. Good production values and fun for the kids.
June 2, 2008My 4 year old daughter loves all things Disney and enjoys other Disney sing along DVDs. I bought this one because other reviews said it helped get their children excited for a trip to Disney, being filmed in the park. I turned it on for my daughter, watched for a few minutes, and then went to cook dinner in the kitchen. About 20 minutes later she came running in with tears streaming down her face, terrified of the "bad guys." When I watched the DVD later, I realized there is a song from the Haunted Mansion that features the Disney villians including the always scary witch from Snow White, as well as a variety of ghosts, haunted trees, and even the floating witch head you see in a crystal ball while on the Haunted Mansion ride. Yes, too scary for a little kid.
I think including this segment was totally unecessary and showed VERY poor judgement on the part of the Disney producers. Now my daughter refuses to watch the DVD (not that I'd let her), and is adament that she does NOT want to go to Disneyworld where the "bad guys live." Not exactly the outcome I was hoping for!
Do yourself a favor and spare your child the nightmare imagery. Buy a different DVD.

All of my children have been mesmerized by this DVD. We go to Disney World often so they love watching it over and over again.
April 21, 2008This was my favorite video/sing along as a child. I recently bought it for some little cousins and was pleased to find that it is still exactly the same as it was in the 80s. Obviously Disneyland has changed quite a bit since this was filmed but its still a lot of fun. I definitely recommend it to any disney fan or small kids.

I am very disappointed in this video. We were replacing a VHS sing along tape that got "eaten" by the VCR that we loved. This video is like an advertisement for Disney and it's attractions. There are only a few recognizeable songs. Good if you are looking to reminisce about your trip to Disney but disappointing as a sing along.
