Fun Facts

The 'it's a small world' ride was initially designed for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair before being relocated to Disneyland in Anaheim.

The iconic song 'It's a Small World (After All)' is sung in multiple languages, reflecting the diverse cultures represented in the ride.

The ride showcases more than 300 dolls dressed in traditional costumes from various countries around the world.

The colorful and whimsical design of 'it's a small world' was created by Disney artist Mary Blair, known for her unique artistic style.

During the holiday season, the ride is transformed into 'it's a small world holiday,' featuring festive decorations and holiday music.

The ride's entrance is marked by a distinctive clock tower that features a parade of wooden dolls every quarter-hour.

The ride was among the pioneering attractions to incorporate audio-animatronics, a technology that brings characters to life with synchronized movement and sound.

In recent years, Disneyland has implemented eco-friendly practices to reduce the water usage of 'it's a small world,' including a closed-loop water system.
