From 1981 to 1983, " Walt Disney", a short disco arrangement of "When You Wish Upon a Star", arranged by Frank Gari, served as theme against some elaborate, then-state-of-the-art computer graphics. CBC Television in Canada also used this title sequence and theme music for their own versions of the show. The sequence was also used as the opening sequence on international Walt Disney Home Video releases until 1987.

From 1969 to 1979, " The Wonderful World of Disney", orchestral medleys of various Disney songs from movies and theme parks as theme songs. During the late-1980s and early-1990s, episodes of The Wonderful World of Disney was syndicated to local stations in the US. When the show was revived in 1986, the format was similar to a movie-of-the-week, with family-oriented TV movies from the studio making up much of the material. Theatrical films were also shown, but with the advent of cable television and home video, they were not as popular. The 1997 revival followed this format as well, with rare exceptions. A miniseries entitled Little House on the Prairie ran for several weeks under the TWWOD banner. Incidentally, one offering in this ABC revival, the 1965 theatrical film version of The Sound of Music (aired generally during Christmas time), was actually released by 20th Century Fox, not Walt Disney Pictures, although it was allowed to air under the "Wonderful World of Disney" banner. Films from the Harry Potter series also occasionally aired under the banner even though they were released by Warner Bros.

It was hosted by Walt along with Bob Cummings, Art Linkletter, Ronald Reagan, and featured various other guests. Also included were nature and animal programs similar to the True-Life Adventures released in theatres, as well as various dramatic installments which were either one part or two, but sometimes more. From June to August 2007, a dreamy, remix of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and a brand-new opening title sequence (to promote the new Disney.com) are used for ABC airings in the United States. This theme is short-lived until the new intro came. All of the episodes from are listed in the 1997 book The Wonderful World of Disney Television: A Complete History by Bill Cotter. From 1961 to 1969, an original song was used, " The Wonderful World of Color" written by Richard and Robert Sherman. This song helped to emphasize the use of color with its lyrics.
