In order to rid the Disney Park of all signs of Song of the South (1946), the Walt Disney Company will have to stop reproducing merchandise, character interactions, and music. Disney has decided that the catchy “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” song has got to go.
The fantastic Magic Happens parade is the first instance of this song’s removal. Instead of hearing “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” during the parade, Guests can now hear lyrics from the inspiring Peter Pan (1953) song, “You Can Fly.”
