“It’s Fun to Be Free” is a song that was featured in the attraction “World of Motion” at Epcot, a theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The attraction opened in 1982 and closed in 1996, but the song remained a favorite among Disney fans.
The song, written by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, had an upbeat and catchy tune that celebrated the joy of transportation and mobility. The song’s chorus included the lyrics “It’s fun to be free, to be on the move, to go anywhere, anytime you choose!” which were sung by a chorus of voices over an instrumental track featuring horns, guitars, and drums.
“World of Motion” was a dark ride that took guests on a humorous and educational journey through the history of transportation, from ancient times to the present day. The ride featured animatronic figures, elaborate sets, and special effects, all set to a whimsical and lighthearted tone. “It’s Fun to Be Free” was one of several songs featured throughout the ride, and it helped to reinforce the attraction’s theme of the excitement and adventure of travel.
