I recently got in touch with Jason the Archivist (archivistjason on Twitter, or “Progressland” on the Magic Music forums), who had once mentioned “mid-90’s NOS loops” on Magic Music [1]. I was intrigued by what this meant, and he clarified that he had recieved these loops from an ex-WDI source in 2000.
The loops he sent are here:

Seeing as I found a live recording at Disneyland in 1996 where the Royal Street Bachelors’ 93 loop was playing [2], I’m not sure if this set of loops did actually play in the park at all, or whether it did but only for a short time. This is why I put the [Unverified] tag in the title.
As you’ll see from the track listings, these loops are very similar and have several overlapping tracks. Overall, I do think the day loop has a brighter, livelier feel compared to the night loop, even with the similarities in tracks.
Since I am providing the tracks themselves with this post, and the loops are unverified, I am not delineating details on track length, edit points, etc. If anyone wants me to post the REAPER project files, let me know!
