(5 stars) - A Disney Dream On CD
You'll still find people out there who attended the 1964 World's Fair and saw all of Walt Disney's attractions there, but as the the legions of Disney fans has grown, there are so many who can only experience it through a few old photos and riding their modern-day counterparts (if they still exist). These CD's recreate these attractions so you can imagine yourself being there. I really loved the Ford Magic Skyway soundtrack because it's narrated by Walt himself. It's the only attraction that he did that for and it was never recreated in-full at Disneyland. This collection is a must for the serious Disney audiophile.

(5 stars) - walt disney and the 1964 worlds fair dvd
very good,love it.I think the movie it happend at the worlds fair with Elvis takes place in this fair and as I love both Walt Disney and Elvis its perfect.

(3 stars) - A Bit Disappointed
We were a bit disappointed by this item. It is strictly music, which, although is nice, would have been nicer to have some video, too. Shame on us for not looking more carefully at the description, I guess. Still, it is a piece of Disney history, which is nice to have.

(5 stars) - Wonderful audio journey down memory lane
I purchased this CD set about a month ago and have been listening to it almost exclusively since I received it. The audio archives presented are amazing! Each attraction built for the World's Fair has its own CD: It's a Small World, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Magic Skyway, and The Carousel of Progress. There is also a CD of Progressland - an early, unused version of The Carousel of Progress. My favorites are It's a Small World and the Carousel of Progress mainly because these include the great songs "It's a Small World" and "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" written by Richard and Robert Sherman. All CDs include isolated music and vocal tracks of the songs and rides which are foundations of the Disney Parks. Being a music teacher, I am fascinated to hear these isolated tracks. I hear something new each time! To hear the isolated instrumental tracks for all the various international versions of It's a Small World played by native instruments is a special treat. There's no way to appreciate the care taken with the arrangement and performance of the music while on the actual ride which was designed so that everything was happening simultaneously. The isolation really brings new appreciation to the attraction. The Magic Skyway disc includes previously unreleased background score from several Disney classics such as The Absent Minded Professor and Zorro which was used as environment music for these attractions. I highly recommend this set for all die-hard Disney fans! No Disney fan would regret this purchase!

(5 stars) - Felt like a Kid
What can I say but for the true Disneyana Fan this is pure perfection. I wanted my parents to take me to the New York Worlds Fair but being on the West Coast it never happened. Live near Disneyland so got to see the parts of the attractions they brought back, but my body tingled with joy as I listened to the CD's one after another. The music, narrations, stories in the hard copy in the booklet were all great.
