We have previously written about Disney World adding mannequins that reflect all walks of life and abilities, from cochlear implants on a form at Epcot, to various others in wheelchairs around the Parks and Disney Springs.
Last year The Walt Disney Company and Imagineers added an animatronic doll to “it’s a small world” in Disneyland, and now they have done the same at Walt Disney World. If you are looking for this, it is the first set of dolls as you go into the first room.

By the journey’s end, Walt Disney’s simple message is clear: it truly is a small world after all!
History, After All
“it’s a small world” was created for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. Personally overseen by Walt Disney in support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the attraction was a huge hit. After 2 seasons there, it was shipped to Disneyland park, where it opened on May 28, 1966.
In 1971, “it’s a small world” was recreated to become one of the Opening Day attractions at Walt Disney World Resort. Due to its immense popularity, the attraction has been replicated at many Disney theme parks around the world and is considered a Walt Disney masterpiece.
