It's a Small World

Pros: fun for all ages but primarily for the very young and those young at heart
Cons: long lines at peak times...no FastPass available

During our visit to Disney World this past December we spent quite a bit of time in Fantasyland. Our group was a large one consisting of 8 adults and 7 children so it was hard to keep everyone together and all go on the same rides…but it's a funny ...

Pros: Catchy song, gentle ride for  young children, set and costumes
Cons: Catchy song

I saw It's a Small World for the first time in 1964 before it made it's debut in Disney Land and then Disney World where I once again saw it the first year the Magic Kingdom opened in Orlando. It was a major attraction at the Worlds Fair in NY in the ...

Cons: A bit cheesy and stereotypical

Most Disney theme park guests develop a “love/hate” relationship with the famed It’s a Small World attraction. All right, maybe some just hate it. Personally, while I’m not always eager to jump on this attraction every time I ...

Pros: great use of color, cute attraction, nice detail in dolls
Cons: extremely annoying song, can get boring after one ride through

“It’s a small world”...we all know it, and we’ve all used the phrase before. So Disney came out with an attraction called It’s A Small World just to annoy the hell out of us...or maybe to make a point. But whatever the reason is, It’s A Small World is one ...

Pros: The wonder of it all
Cons: Some may not enjoy the simplicity

It's sometimes hard to imagine a world where every nation sings side by side, where the best of all cultures is enjoyed rather than criticized, or where for about 10 minutes you can forget the daily news reports and focus on a grand idea of world peace....

Pros: Cute and full of imagination.
Cons: None.

Disneyland, the first and original Walt Disney Theme Park, is also the first home to the "It's A Small World" Attraction. Come with me as we sail down the river of diversity and even make a couple of comparisons between Disneyland,...

If there is a ride at Disney World that brings more joy to children while conjuring up suicidal thoughts for adults it has to be It’s a Small World. The Basics This slow moving boat ride takes its passengers on a ride through the ...

Pros: Good for all ages
Cons: Not very thrilling

I recently completed a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. I stayed off-site with a friend (at no cost). I visited all the (non-water) parks but took no children with me. All of my Disney World reviews will be written from this perspective....

Pros: Fabulous photo ops around every turn.
Cons: Long lines (worth the wait).

“Take that legendary boat ride around the globe on this musical tour of nations.” It would be more appropriate if that read, “Take a ride through Walt Disney’s brainwashing machine.” Once you ride through this little house of internati ...

Cons: Needs cleaning and repair; A monumental joke to some

Pros: cute family ride with a great message
Cons: none

“It’s a small world after all It’s a small world after all It’s a small world after all It’s a small small world.” It’s a Small World is one of my all-time favorite rides in Walt Disney World. It is one of the first attractions we headed towards ...

Pros: A delightful, educational, gentle ride that appeals to all ages
Cons: The lines are long

When I first took my children to Walt Disney World in 1985, my four-year-old daughter already had her list of rides in order. We had been singing "It's a Small World" for years, so naturally, this was the ride she most wanted to experience. Her...

Pros: A classic, simply a Disney Must do!
Cons: Very addicting song that plays over and over in your head.

Pros: Its a beautiful ride and a wonderful memory
Cons: The lines can be long

When my sister and I were little our parents took us to Disneyworld. The day I remember most clearly was a rainy day in Fantasy Land. The weather was pretty much terrible, it wasn’t cold – after all, it is Florida, but it was raining (one family was...

Pros: Short lines, Good for all ages.
Cons: The ride does get stuck.

IT'S A WORLD OF LAUGHTER, A WORLD OF TEARS, IT'S A IT'S A WORLD OF HOPES, AND A WORLD OF FEARS, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE SHARE, THAT IT'S TIME WERE AWARE, IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL.
That is how the song starts! And once you hear, it you will never...
