Opening Date Announced for “It’s a Small World” Refurbishment

In January, “It’s a Small World” at Disneyland will close for a brief refurbishment. The attraction is currently open and operating with its holiday overlay, “It’s a Small World Holiday”. When the holiday season ends, the ride will close to return to its regular form.

Beginning January 9, 2023, “it’s a small world” will be closed for refurbishment and will reopen as its regular version on January 20, 2023.

The Disneyland website describes the attraction as:


“The Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed
Voyage along the Seven Seaways canal and behold a cast of almost 300 Audio-Animatronics dolls representing children from every corner of the globe as they sing the classic anthem to world peace—in their native languages.

Amid vibrant backdrops, you’ll travel through country after country, and by journey’s end, you’ll see that it really is a small world after all.

The ride opened in 1966, but additional characters debuted in 2009—thoughtfully placed in the appropriate nations.

During your cruise, keep an eye out for Peter Pan and Tinker Bell in England, Cinderella in her native France, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket in Italy, Aladdin and Jasmine in the Middle East, The Three Caballeros in Mexico, Ariel and Flounder under the sea, Lilo and Stitch in the South Pacific and Woody, Bullseye and Jessie in the southwestern U.S.A.”

Which version of the ride do you prefer; the original or the holiday?
