it's a small world - Disneyland

Pros: Quick moving queue, catchy song for kids, multi-lingual lyrics
Cons: can seem outdated and boring for those seeking thrill rides

As a teenager, going to Disneyland did not include a visit to It's a Small World, however, my opinion has slightly changed over the years. It is now a fun, relaxing ride that is an absolute must for any first-timers to Disneyland. ...

Pros: Line moves very quickly, long ride, families can go together
Cons: Could be updated

We have been on It's A Small World many, many times. I know it's cliche and I know it's repeatedly made fun of. Still, I have to sheepishly admit that I love this ride. LOCATION It's a Small World is located behind Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. ...

Pros: 15 minutes a good time to give your feet a rest
Cons: creepy children, can't shake the tune.

Pros: A relaxing ride through a reminder of our shared humanity
Cons: Not everyone appreciates the simplicity and the catchy song.

Pros: Great visuals on a per-second basis
Cons: You'll hear this song for about fifteen minutes over and over again

There is no ride more dividing amongst Disneyites than it's a small world. Originally debuting at the World's Fair a few years prior, in 1966 Disney's imagineers (including one of the key members who had designed other rides in the park) unveiled ...

Pros: optimistic, sweet, original, hopelessly cute, cool on a hot day
Cons: an affront to Australians, song scares people, about to be marred with bizarre heavy-handed branding

Pros: Cool and relaxing ride to rest your feet.
Cons: The song is stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
