Editions

Standard edition

• Unlimited run

Special edition

• Unlimited run

Since the limited edition quickly sold so well, it was decided to create a special edition with a unlimited run in which the album would be made of black vinyl instead of gold.

Limited edition

• Limited run of 5,000 (out of print)
• Red cloth covered box
• The 6 CD audio library
• The Sounds of Disneyland hardcover book
• Gold vinyl reproduction of the "Walt Disney Takes You To Disneyland: A Musical Tour of The Magic Kingdom" record

Limited edition special numbers

• Number 0001: Sold on eBay by Disney.
• Number 0050: Sold on eBay by Disney.
• Number 0885: A copy that was signed by Randy Thornton and won in a contest at MagicMusic.net.

There are numbers higher than 5,000, this was due the use of an 'unsecured' numbering method – a commonly used system. However, there are still only 5,000 copies.

In 2005 Disney sold a test pressing on eBay.
