So am running a one-shot and generally have alot of experience running D&D sessions. So I recently decided to DM a one-shot based of Disney films, a big thing is though am wondering how to incorporate singing as it seems like a reasonable big part of Disney films and have no idea about ideas of how to include/use it. Ws wondering if people had suggestions/advise/tips.

I have once included singing in a D&D session. I had some of the players sing "We are number One". It was weird and great at the same time.
From the above I have a few times.
Make sure your players are comfortable with the idea of singing. Some may not and could end up feeling left out or awkward
Prepare sheets with lyrics and some backing music. Both make singing a song you don't well easier.
Don't let the song go on too long or break it up. As it could become boring specially if not everyone is taking part.
With the last point what i did was at the end of verses/chorus had them roll skill checks to do certain things on stage and allow other non-singing players to do things. Of the points though the first one is most important. As if people don't want to sing things might no go well or make it not very fun for people.
Though if you do it right it can be fun. My players enjoyed it.
If your players are not comfy with singing, or you want the music to be more subtle, maybe buy the soundtrack and have that playing during the relevant points of the game. I could totally see some epic fights happening during a lot of those Disney songs.

On OboeCrazy's note, I think the kingdom hearts OST has remixes of some Disney songs that played during certain boss fights or as ambient music.
