Sherman Brothers wrote 3 theme park songs for a single attraction.
The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is the attraction.
Wonderful things about Tiggers
Winnie the Pooh
The rain rain rain came down down down
are teh songs
You also forgot Heffalumps and Woozles- they wrote that too.
So it is 4 songs for The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh:
(in the order they are played while on the ride)
Winnie The Pooh
The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers
Heffalumps and Woozles
and The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down
Besides the 4 songs in the Winnie the Pooh ride, the Sherman brothers also wrote many more theme which are in all of Disney World the following:
Its A Small World-Magic Kingdom
Its A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow-Magic Kingdom
Tikitiki Room-Magic Kingdom
One Little Spark-Figment
Making Memories-Epcot
ChimChimeny with Mary Poppins-Great Movie Ride in Hollywood Studios.
The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh Attraction in Fantasyland-Magic Kingdom: “Winnie The Pooh”, “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers”, and “The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down”.
I love this type of episode, Coming from the UK, we come over to Orlando for 2-3 weeks at a time, maybe once every 3-4 years if we are lucky, and with kids, looking at tiny details is not high on the list of priorities.
It always fascinates me the level of attention to detail the imagineers give that separate Disney parks from every other amusement/theme park around the world
Keep up the great work Lou.
The answer to the trivia question in The Many adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Another great episode lou!!! Keep it up!
I loved the episode, but I **DO NOT** think the correct answer is “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”. Lou’s exact question was “For what WDW attraction or pavilion did the brothers create three ORIGINAL songs?”
It seems to me that the Sherman Brothers songs in the Pooh attraction weren’t ORIGINAL to that WDW attraction because the score to the film “The Many Adventures of Willie the Pooh” was released in 1977 and included versions of the songs. The Winnie the Pooh WDW attraction, however, wasn’t opened until 2003.
I think the CORRECT answer is the “Journey Into Imagination” pavilion. The ORIGINAL SONGS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PAVILION by the Sherman Brothers are: “One Little Spark”, “Magic Journeys” and “Makin’ Memories”.
Keep up the tricky questions Lou!!
agreed Carl Fredricksen! Great work!
I thought you were supposed to email the answers to Lou??
Agreed! I only posted my answer here after Lou’s Sunday midnight deadline.
I absolutely love when you do such detailed history of a park. Please continue! We are going to homeschool our kids beginning this summer and what a great time we’ll have combining U.S. history and actual artifacts in the park! More! More!
It’s the imagination pavilion. They wrote magic journeys …makin memories ….and of course…..one little spark! All 3 make me feel like a kid again!
I may be wrong, but I always thought Mizner’s Lounge at the Grand Floridian was named after Addison Mizner, a famous Florida architect and designer. Not someone affiliated with the Brown Derby as referenced by Lou and Jim in this episode?
The episodes with Jim are my favorite as well.
