When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
the sweet fullfillment of their secret love
Oh, Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see's you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do




Woah, when you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true... mmmm

C'è una stella su nel ciel
Che ogni sogno può appagar
E la gioia più serena può donar
Alla stella schiudi il cuor
Con fiducia e con amor
E la stella su nel ciel t'appagherà
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Essa legge nel pensier
Ogni cuore sa scrutar
Ed il sogno tuo sincer
Esaudirà

This song is pretty much Disney's national anthem. I love it~

@hexagonal69

Of course, it’s literally the music used in their logo in basically every film, some movies have a different rendition, but it’s still the same song.

@matthewtheawesomeguy9583

It is also the Disney cruise horn and announcement chime

@Bobsheaux

When a man in a giant mouse suit hugging you is somehow the most magical moment of your life.

@Crimson_Snake1

Bobsheaux Wait. All this time, I haven’t been hugging the real Mickey Mouse? It’s a guy in a........ oh. Hehehehe. Oh dear. What an awkward situation.

@brandonreina791

I'd rather give a Disney Princess (Snow White, Jasmine, Rapunzel, etc) a autograph of my Blu-ray Disc copy of The 👸 Diaries (2001) than a hug from Mickey 🐭 because I don't want to get him 😷 from the Coronavirus

@sophiebell5670

Fact: majority of Mickeys are actually girls because of the heigh requirement

@georgecampbell9638

@@sophiebell5670 yeah that would explain Mickey’s high pitched voice

This exact version was played at my Great Aunt's funeral just a few days ago. She loved Disney so much and I always thought of her as the very embodiment of Disney. She was the most positive and joyful person I've ever known. She actually went to Disney World 7 times in her life she loved it that much.

Me, my Mum, brother, sister and Nan was lucky enough to go to Disney World with her and my Great Uncle when I was 7 years old in 1998 courtesy of my Nan which I'll never forget.

Rest In Peace Aunt Maureen, we all love and miss you so much. I'm glad there's so many grand memories of you. Until we meet again in the next life.
