Trivia[]
- This album was released for the 85th anniversary of Disney and the 80th anniversary of Mickey Mouse.
- That's why it was launched as a anniversary present for both of them.
- Shortly after the album released, the Disney Music Block Party Tour was announced. It was an outdoor festival-type event with live performances from varying acts from Playhouse Disney, hosted by Raven-Symoné. The tour, planned for 23 dates in nine cities, was reported to be unsuccessful, as all shows after the first day of the three-day Philadelphia stop on August 1, 2008 were cancelled. The show only performed in two other cities beforehand; in Tom's River, New Jersey (July 25-27), and in Columbia, Maryland (July 29-30).
- Barenaked Ladies were scheduled to play at Uniondale, New York shows, but cancelled their appearances in light of lead singer Steven Page being arrested for cocaine possession shortly before the tour's launch. These shows, which were the last stop of the tour, were also the only shows remaining on schedule after the others were cancelled, but it's undisclosed whether or not they still went on when the dates came.
