Guten tag from beautiful Salzburg, Austria! This week I’m sailing on the very first Adventures by Disney Holiday River Cruise, making stops in eight charming cities and towns throughout four countries along Europe’s Danube River. It’s been nothing short of breathtaking thus far, but this evening I was especially charmed by the warm glow of Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, and I couldn’t help but share it with all of you.
I’ll have even more details to offer about this adventure when I get home, so look for them here on the Disney Parks Blog in the weeks to come. In the meantime, check out what’s in store for our 2017 sailings on the Adventures by Disney website. An Adventures by Disney vacation makes for the ultimate holiday gift (I’m just saying – imagine telling your kids that they’ll spend next Christmas here)!

Let’s start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
(Maria)
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
(spoken)
Let’s see if I can make it easy
Chorus
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
(Everyone sings the Chorus twice)
(Maria)
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
(spoken by Maria)
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.
Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
(spoken)
Can you do that?
(Children sing)
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
(Maria sings)
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
(Children sing)
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
(spoken by Maria)
Now, put it all together.
(Everyone sings)
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
(spoken by Maria)
Good!
(spoken by Brigitta)
But it doesn’t mean anything.
(spoken by Maria)
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
[spoken]
Together!
(Everyone sings)
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
(Children sing)
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
(Maria sings the chorus while the children sing the verse above 4 times)
(Maria sings)
When you know the notes to sing

(Everyone sings)
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew

That will bring us back to
