The Music of EPCOT is now streaming on Apple Music and Spotify, and the album gathers 23 songs from the park’s past and present. At 1 hour and 6 minutes, it keeps the two-disc order of the vinyl set. Classic EPCOT Center attraction music comes first, and current park music follows. Anyone with a streaming account can hear every track now, with no turntable required.

Both Apple Music and Spotify list The Music of EPCOT as a new release with 23 songs. Apple Music files it as a soundtrack credited to Walt Disney Records, while Spotify lists it as a compilation by Various Artists. The album arrived on the streaming date we covered yesterday, and its track order matches the vinyl set.
Disc 1 Brings Back the Sound of EPCOT Center
Disc 1 holds 13 songs and begins with the Main Entrance Medley, performed by the EPCOT Center Orchestra. From there, it visits Future World pavilions such as Universe of Energy, Journey Into Imagination, The Land, and a Canada song from World Showcase sits in the mix too. Fan favorites including Horizons from Horizons, Listen to the Land, and One Little Spark all appear on the disc.
Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman perform The Computer Song themselves, so fans get to hear the songwriters in their own voices. Fans also get the Kitchen Kabaret Medley and the extended version of Magic Journeys. The disc closes with a 1983 jazz version of It’s Fun to Be Free from World of Motion, and the original recording of that song appears earlier on the disc.

Zain Effendi’s opening cue from Test Track comes next. Bruce Broughton’s Soarin’ Around the World track follows. That film gave way to Soarin’ Across America this year. Tyler Bates’ Xandar Gallery from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind rounds out that stretch.

Sheléa performs the soundtrack version of Heartbeat Symphony from Luminous: The Symphony of Us. The full Luminous soundtrack reached streaming services in 2024.
Walt Disney Talking About EPCOT ends the album. Its credit reads Walt Disney’s EPCOT from 1967, with Walt himself as the performer. It is short, but it puts Walt’s own voice that guests will hear at rope drop in EPCOT to the end of the album.
