Strolling through Walt Disney World affords a bevy of sounds and tunes that envelop us in another place, from the horse-drawn roads of Main Street U.S.A. to the jungles of Pandora. The more you listen to music, the more you may ponder the question: "which of these tracks is better?" That sparked the inspiration for this episode of Notably Disney, in which host Brett Nachman brings back to the podcast Dan Heaton (host, The Tomorrow Society Podcast), to pose a series of tough musical choices. Each Dan and Brett present 10 sets of Walt Disney World-themed music options to one another and discuss their preferences.
