It's a pretty spendy set, but A Musical History of Disneyland has a pretty good selection of park ride-through soundtracks including the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and much more! It came out for the 50th anniversary, and its a very cool set. Just pretty expensive at this point, since its such a great collector piece.
Aside from something like this, there are some good Youtube channels who post ride audio, so you could try searching on there. One good one I know of is Mr.ThemeParksAudio. There is also this one which has some good area music loops. Also, SuperHotLarry posts some great audio as well, if I remember right, he's even a reddit user and has been active on this sub before. If you needed physical copies, you could always try to message the people who run these channel, and perhaps they may be willing to give you a copy, but I'm not 100% sure.
Read The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney's Dream by Sam Gennawey. I HIGHLY recommend it. It's available on Amazon. Very well written book and goes into the perfect amount of detail about the decisions behind Disneyland's construction.
Here's a few of my favorite quotes:
Here's a dump:
http://disneychris.com/ has tons of park audio bits. Website is horribly set up, but the music is good (most is at 128 mbps though, so quality is limited).
http://www.soundsofdisneyland.com/ has a lot of good music as well.
http://community.magicmusic.net/ has lots of good discussion on which tracks are used as background music in the various lands. The folks on here are good at what they do, and it's amazing how many tracks are available for purchase online.
There are a couple "holy grails" for park audio collectors. The first is the 50th anniversary music release:
https://www.amazon.com/Musical-History-Disneyland-50th-Anniversary/dp/B000AA4MHM
The other is the "Disneyland Forever" audio collection. In the late 90's, they had kiosks around the park where you could purchase various bits of park audio and make custom CD's. There's a torrent around (won't link here) that has compiled all of the artwork and audio from these kiosks, as most of the tracks aren't available for the public. It has tons of area music, ride throughs for past attractions, etc.
Mousebits.com is where fans share in park induction recordings, and past audio that Disney doesn't currently sell.
With any given track, there are usually different versions you can get- that vary in length and audio quality.
It's somewhat hard to navigate but someone maintains a Haunted Mansion wiki with everything we know about everything in the mansion.
This book goes into the themes/storylines the writers were going for when they created the mansion. It also talks about various ideas that they had that were scrapped like the Museum of the Weird. It's a good read.
There's also this recent comic which had a structured story about a boy who wants to help save his grandpa's spirit from the Mansion. This story didn't blow me away as it's clearly meant for a younger audience but it was alright.
With a 5-day park hopper you will definitely see everything, so no worries there :)
If you really want to ride Radiator Spring Racers don't go in the FastPass line. I watched it grow almost to the length of a regular queue line. Instead go right to RSR, ride it, and then hit the FastPass a little later when the return time is in the evening: riding RSR at night is really cool as well. In fact, make sure you hang out in Cars Land and the parks at night and don't retire early, they take on a different feel at night and the atmosphere is great.
Grab a copy of The Imagineering Field Guide to Disneyland, it has a lot of interesting information you can read up on as you travel there. Picking up a Hidden Mickey book can help you scour every square inch of the park too.
And don't be afraid to swallow your pride and visit some attractions that might seem dumb :)
It's not a YouTube video but, I highly recommend the audiobook of The Disneyland Story. It's an incredibly detailed book about Walt creating and building Disneyland that also goes into DCA construction. It's something my SO and I listened to before we went for the first time together and it was really really excellent. We actually put it on before bed and listen as we slumber off to sleep. I have dreams that often take place in Disneyland. It's fun!

Remember that a big part of Disneyland magic is how you're feeling and not what you're doing. So if you spend 2 blissful hours on Tom's Island and miss the parade, that's a win.
My two year old got a lot of magic out of seeing TV characters in real life. So we'd watch Mr. Toad then go on the ride. He calls it MATCH UP.
Christmas happens on Nov 12 and last night I noticed snow on the castle, Mansion is holiday-themed, and Candy Palace had pumpkin fudge.
For lines, try to keep him engaged. Talk to people near you, complement strangers and talk with them. Hearing protection can help on rides, shows, and with overstimulation.
I'd suggest Disneyland on Friday and DCA on Saturday. Use Mousewait App today and tomorrow and each Friday and Saturday for the next few weeks to see what crowds are like on each day.
I agree with /u/mildly_interesting and the suggestion for the Bingo Cards. I've used those once before and they're pretty fun!
If you like puzzles you should consider a "MouseAdventure Vacation" packet. They collect a handful of "Quests" from old events and put them into a bound booklet you can take to the park with you. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and some of the puzzles are tough. But it can be fun as a group to solve. Check it out here. (The packets are available a bit down that page.)
Lastly, I'd suggest picking up a copy of this book. The Disneyland Encyclopedia. While not a treasure hunt, it has SO much information on Disneyland that you're bound to find secrets and facts about the park that'd you would have never known. On top of that, you can go find those previously unknown details in the park and see them for yourself.
I know I've seen it at Target/CVS/Walgreens/etc, and definitely on Amazon. It's amazing, and some places sell it in colors, so you can match to something fun! (first link I saw, not necessarily the best) -- I recommend doing a test run with it before you go to Disney, just so you're familiar with how it sticks.
https://www.amazon.com/WildCow-Wrap-Bandages-Assorted-Colors/dp/B01I62O0CM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538520267&sr=8-2&keywords=vet+wrap
I LOVED The Disneyland Story - really detailed and goes from the beginning to I think like 2012....Very Informative.
I also love the Mouse Tales and it's sequel....But they are a bit more scandal/crazy story based then history.
I have a couple that I've loved:
Walt Disney Imagineering Behind Dreams
And version 2 of the book:
Walt Disney Imagineering Behind Dreams 2
I've also really enjoyed this one:
Disney Mountains Imagineering at its Peak
My wife and I live/die by this stroller! Our little guy loves it too. We specifically bought this stroller for Disneyland last December and it was probably our best purchase of our whole trip!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07282FG4L/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A3N0D8X4BZUOQB&psc=1
Both the wife and I have purchased Anker power banks (hers is 12kmah, mine is 20k. They're substantially heavier than the fuel rods or the other brands of chargers that are essentially enough to recharge your phone once or twice.
But they really pack a punch, and can definitely be worth bringing to the park - especially if you're playing pokemon go, or reading a kindle in lines, or looking to recharge camera batteries, etc.
It might be worth having one power bank that can get you and your family through a day at the park, especially if you plan on using it at other amusement parks, days at the mall, or for more versatile use outside of a Disney Resort.
this is the model I recently purchased...
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I've wanted that poster art book for a long, long time.
If they are a huge Disney nerd and are thirsting for behind the scenes stories and learning things that they likely have never heard about before then I would recommend The Progress City Primer. Fantastic book.
For a cheap system, I use these together:
- Phone Tripod Mount, $6 - https://www.amazon.com/Rotatable-Adjustable-Compatible-Camcorder-Microphone/dp/B072KNBV21
- Camera-mounted Grip, $10 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014WISX6I
This is allowed in the park since it doesn't extend (selfie sticks are no longer allowed, so if it extends they won't allow it), and it has a nice weight to keep it in hand while still giving you some distance. The rotating mount means you can hold the grip at any angle while the phone remains in the orientation you want.
That said, I've seen a lot of pop-sockets, grippy cases, and even $100+ electronic gimbals at the parks that seem to work fine for photography and videography. Only you know what is and isn't too bulky for your needs.
​
As many have mentioned, the Tubes of You is a good place. If you need titles to start searching, check out any of these on Amazon (might be a fair bit of redundancy, I just grabbed a handful of URLs):
https://www.amazon.com/Disneyland-Resort-Official-Album-Set/dp/B00FA2ZJU4
https://www.amazon.com/Musical-History-Disneyland-50th-Anniversary/dp/B000AA4MHM
https://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disney-Records-Legacy-Collection/dp/B0106438AS <- Based on the cover, this looks to be the Spotify playlist /u/whitesoxfan5622 mentioned.
If none of those lists contain quite what you're looking for, try contacting City Hall in Disneyland with the specifics and they might be able to help you out/point you in the right direction.
There is a hidden Mickey handbook that you can get at a local bookstore. It is great fun to see how many one can find in the park. It is small enough that you can carry the book with you in the park.
I love Ain’t Nothing Like The Great Outdoors and Walkin Right Down the Middle of Main Street USA!
The dvd is also available on Amazon for $9.99.
Sing Along Songs - Disneyland Fun https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009X75W4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_k.NIAbJ1MMK7J
the people vs disneyland highly recommend this book. Has a lot of great info. A lot of insight on to why Disneyland is the way it is today
I bought this book about two years ago, it's still one of my favorite Disney art books, it pretty much has every poster ever made for the parks:
http://www.amazon.com/Poster-Disney-Parks-Souvenir-Book/dp/1423124111
I have this one on my book shelf, it's pretty good.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0106438AS/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1453487962&amp;sr=8-10&amp;pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&amp;keywords=disneyland
This one was pretty cool
ummm this is actually a pretty well documented story. Last place I heard it told was in The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney's Dream by Sam Gennawey. I'm sorry I can't provide you with a page number as I've listened to the book. I believe it's somewhere between the hours 7 and 10.
[Thiiiiiiiiiissssss.] (https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Disney-Walt-Imagineering-Book/dp/1423119150) I was told if you wanted to ever be an imagineer, read this book, and apply it to heart
I was lucky enough to pick this up in 2006, I'm sure some searching could find you a download: A Musical History of Disneyland, 50th Anniversary
Might as well answer everyone's replies in one post. /u/subsonicmonkey /u/Peetal
I remember my 50th Anniversary Disneyland CD has "Space Mountain (Daytime Track) listed as one of the audio tracks (Disc 2, Track 10). Because of that I always thought there was a slight variation between the daytime and nighttime tracks. If it was standardized to just one audio track the whole day, then this would make sense why I could never tell the difference. :P
Any Disney historians able to clear this up for me?
The People vs Disneyland has alot of excellent history in it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1937878031?keywords=people%20vs%20disneyland&amp;qid=1458040522&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1
It's pretty cheap on Amazon.
Here are my favorites:
Unofficial Disneyland Encyclopedia
Mouse Tales
The Disney Mountains
This is my favorite of all. I can listen to it all day: http://www.amazon.com/Disneyland-Resort-Official-Album-Homecoming/dp/B001ADJST0/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418752613&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=happiest+homecoming+on+earth
https://www.amazon.com/Disneyland-Story-Unofficial-Evolution-Disneys/dp/162809012X
This one? That's not a canon book, but I do apologise for saying that's not a title, lol. I'm not deliberately trolling, just trying to get to the bottom of the "Redhead Rumour".
Yeah, that may be too much... $120? Sheesh.
I use this Anker: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20100mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
It charges 2 phones at once and will easily last on a 3-day trip.
Something like this?
https://www.amazon.com/Disneyland®-Encyclopedia-Unofficial-Unauthorized-Unprecedented/dp/1595800689
If you're familiar with torrents this set http://www.amazon.com/Musical-History-Disneyland-Box/dp/B000AA4MHM is floating around the internet.
Go on a hidden Mickey hunt!
