Very interesting. I wonder how much different these will be from the story meeting recordings included on the 40th Anniversary and Legacy editions of the soundtrack album. It would definitely make a nice bonus if these new recordings end up on a new edition of the score (preferably along the lines of the recent Super Deluxe Edition of The Sound of Music).

I have to admit, I'm still annoyed Randy Thornton didn't do a 50th Anniversary Disney World park music set like he did for Disneyland in 2005. There are still rare items of early WDW park music that needs to finally be freed from the vaults (the Buddy Baker isolated underscore for the original "Hall Of Presidents"; and it's long past due for an "If You Had Wings" Megamix!)
