Every Day a New Adventure
Most likely right at this moment, somewhere in the world, families are exploring, laughing, and learning. Maybe kids are rolling pastry with an Italian chef, or maybe adventurers are kayaking through the American wilderness. Maybe there's a treasure hunt through Paris' Louvre, or perhaps a bike trip through an idyllic countryside, with a knowledgeable guide leading the way. One thing's for sure -- everyone is having a blast, because they're in good hands. The experienced hands of Adventures by Disney, the tours with the Disney touch.
Next year, many of the favorite adventures will be offered again, from Italy to Wyoming. But Adventures by Disney will also be adding new adventures for families to explore and discover. With the whole world to choose from, how do they select the itineraries that families will love? How do they keep Mom from getting stuck hauling all the luggage?

YOUR QUESTION
On my most recent trip to Disney, I took my 3 small children on the Carousel of Progress. This last time it was to my surprise that the theme song had changed from "Now Is the Time, Now Is the Place...". What happened to the original music and why was it changed?
- Carlos, 36, Miami, FL

DAVE'S ANSWER
The original theme song, when the attraction opened at the New York World's Fair in 1964, was "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." That song remained with the attraction when it moved to Disneyland, but when it moved to Walt Disney World in 1975 it had a new song, "The Best Time of Your Life," reflecting the sponsor's changed marketing philosophy. The original song from 1964 was returned in 1993.
