If you enjoyed hearing the themes from your favorite classic television show or your favorite non-Disney movie while walking around Disney’s Hollywood Studios since the park opened back in 1989, I’m afraid I have some bad news…

Starting today, almost every background music loop in the park has changed to reflect the new direction Disney’s Hollywood Studios is heading. Disney is stating the changes were made to make you feel like you “are stepping into your own adventure”. This appears to be the new theme of the park, as rumored since a survey we first saw last year. Today’s release goes on to state that “Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a place where imagined worlds become real adventures to explore together”.

Here’s a list of the new background music loops guests will find starting January 11th, 2018:

Main Entrance: Adapted from a custom work created for Mickey Avenue at Shanghai Disneyland, you’ll hear Big Band arrangements of many favorite Disney tunes.

songs from the 30’s and 40’s. These tracks were recorded twice, with a few differences to help Guests transition from Hollywood Boulevard to the hub of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Grand Avenue (debuted in 2017): Inspired by present-day Downtown Los Angeles, the music on the street includes retro-contemporary west coast funk sound defined by a strong bassline, electric guitars, horns and synthesizers. You may also hear traffic noises, birds, children playing, along with dialog coming from the storefronts. If you stand outside Garcia Sisters, you’ll hear what sounds like a radio inside the shop playing a Latin pop station.
