Good morning! This day in Disney history, Feb. 27th, 1941. "When You Wish Upon a Star" - written by Leigh Harline & Ned Washington (pictured below) for the Disney film Pinocchio, is awarded an Oscar for Best Song @ the 13th Academy Awards! In addition, Leigh Harline, Paul J. Smith & Ned Washington take home an Oscar for Best Original Score (also for Pinocchio). Where in the park can you hear this song? What's YOUR favorite Disney song & why?
You can hear it in the Pioncchio attraction, fireworks soundtrack, the Opera House, under the castle, the esplanade and the Toy Story bus loading area near Harbor blvd - BaseballMickey_CM

I love Disney music. Transports you to a whole new world. My favorite song would have to be "Just Around the Riverbend". I love the music from Pocahontas. Judy Khun has an amazing voice. - RadiatorSprings4Ever

Thank you - as always for your wonderful Disney Trivia :) I have several favorite songs, too many to count - I love "Belle" (little town) and "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast. Another absolute favorite is "Married Life" from Up, I'm so glad that the updated Main Street music loop contains a segment with this piece. xo - Lola027

"When You Wish Upon a Star" has always been my favorite Disney song, and then when I heard Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson sing "Beauty and the Beast" it knocked me out! New favorite! - debbiev

I have so many favorite Disney songs... it would be impossible to choose only one. I have a favorite in almost every Disney movie, certainly in every classic! This particular song is very special to me because it tells me I can make my dreams come true if I really want them to be. Thank you SMK for another great Disney History! - MyPark

Just a side note.. This song was performed in Pinocchio by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket. - MyPark 944.4 #91 9:59AM
It's true! Anything is possible! Thanks MyPark! And thanks for adding that! - Duchess_SMK 3291.4 #11 10:19AM
Aww. Love it! Such a classic and iconic song. Amazing how times have changed and how that beautiful, and deserving, melody is THE song that is so associated with Disneyland. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

Well, I do love Poor Unfortunate Soul 💜 - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1802.5 #42 10:33AM
Teehee! How did I not guess that?! - Duchess_SMK 3291.4 #11 10:35AM
It is still such a winner after all these years, too! I just love that song. I love all the classics: "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Once Upon a Dream." Gosh, can't think of them all! I also love the "Reflections" song from...Pocahantas, I think it is? A Whole New World is great. I Wanna Be Like You, from Jungle Book. You Can Fly! from Peter Pan. When She Loved Me, from Toy Story II. I think that might be my most favorite, actually. Part of Your World from Little Mermaid! Lots of the songs from Beauty and the Beast. Lots of good music here, obviously! LOL. - meridafan

"Oh, a pirate's life is a wonderful life,
A-rovin' over the sea,
Give me a career as a buccaneer
It's the life of a pirate for me
Oh, the life of a pirate for me!
Oh, a pirate's life is a wonderful life,
They never bury you're bones,
For when it's all over a jolly sea rover
drops in on his friend, Davey Jones
Oh, my good friend , Davey Jones! " From Peter Pan movie (favorite today that is) - GrumpyPirateDad
