Do you believe Disneyland Paris could have two brand new theme songs in a single
20th Anniversary year? You should — joining
“Magic Everywhere” on the parade route from 1st April 2012 will be “Do You Believe”, a jazzy new
chanson for
Disney’s 20th Anniversary Celebration Train. After a year as the luminous
Disney Dance Express, the old
Character Express will return to its roots as a more conventional street cavalcade to transport the Disney characters up to Central Plaza. But alas,
“Tous en Train”, the popular former soundtrack adapted from Tokyo Disneyland, which was
remixed to breaking point with each consecutive re-theme of the train, is no more.
In its place, “Do You Believe” is a fresh new song by
Scott Erickson, the go-to guy for Disney park entertainment songs who previously penned
“Mickey’s Magical Party Time” for Disneyland Paris. Scott posted about the new music on his personal website in January, announcing:
“I wrote a song with Valerie Vigoda that will be used in a character parade several times each day around the park. I’m always excited to get to work with my good friend, the music director at the park, Vasile Sirli!”
More of a self-contained song than the endlessly looped
“Tous en Train”, the tune nevertheless follows all the regular conventions: overwrought “yeahs” and “oooh yeahs” over the opening, references to “it’s a small world after all” and making wishes upon stars. It’s bound to be a sensation.
