I really like the song "Flying" from the Peter Pan movie in 2003. It was the theme that Disney used in their commercials a lot last year.

Flying would be a great one, I have to agree. There is a website that streams disney music 24-7, I would recommend listening to that and seeing what you like and dont like. http://www.wdwntunes.com

Depends on what your looking to do, but 2 that come to mind are Remember When by Leann Rimes and Promies by Kelly Coffey. The first was recorded for the DL 50th anniversery, and the later was recorded for the Millenum Celabration.

I love The Promise, that is a good one. I am not familiar with 'Flying' from Peter Pan.
Was toying with the idea of using Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling , on one of the discs, but that was about it
Keep suggestions coming please.................

"Fairy Dance" from Peter Pan is good too! Some of the music from the Tinkerbell movies is good, especially the fiddle pieces with Mairead Nesbitt (a little pixie who could almost be Tink herself). http://www.maireadnesbitt.com/index1400.html

I would suggest 'Celebrate You' by Corbin Bleu... was the theme this past year... free download available on the Disney website.

What Dreams Are Made Of from the Lizzie McGuire movie. It lends itself well both with the movement of the music and the lyrics to a vacation video, especially one for a Disney trip.

Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings is a good CD, it is all instrumental.

The music should somehow match the photos in the slide show.

I built a slide show from our Spring 2009 trip. We have images with subjects such as just the kids, Kodo drummers, kids on rides, fireworks, kids with face paint, etc. Depending on the photos I tried to match the music. I bought a couple of Disney music to go with CDs we already had purchased. Fireworks music was from the Fantasia CDs I bought years ago. For the Kodo drummer slide show I used a Kodo drummer CD that I bought a back in the 90's. Worked out very nicely.

Showing a bunch of flowers while playing Heavy Metal music is not likely to go well.

Later,
Dan

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I know it is difficult without seeing the photos, but I am looking for something fairly upbeat, not necessarily Disney music.
I have a few CD's Illuminations and Wishes but was thinking of maybe something that is more mainstream that may be suitable.

If you mean the slideshow maker software, i think i can help you. Windows Movie Maker or Photo MovieTheater are good ones.

agree with the posters suggesting that the music must match the photos.
and hey, we all like different music so it's up to the individual.
