About it's a small world

A boat Dark Ride with one continuous theme song. Dolls dressed as children from many nationalities sing the ride's theme, which has been seen as a message of tolerance and understanding for generations. -- Last edited by Sarah =D

I love this. It's SOOOO cute. 2nd favorite ride. - M.S. Cool

love it! its like a tradition to ride it. the new disney characters make it even more fun. but why does the boats look like Fisher-price toys? - Lucas Lee

A Disney classic. One of the most unusual,yet charming, rides at D-land. The ride is famous for its song which can either drive you nuts or make you sing along. The sets on this ride are quite nice since they each represent a continent and its people. The christmas time version is also a must see. The additions to the ride were controversial but in the end I believe Disney did a fairly good job mixing the new characters with the old dolls. There is also a brand new scene near the end of the ride. This is a must ride mainly because it's a relaxing ride. Small world is a fast loading attraction. Waiting times exceeding 30 minutes are rare. Get on this ride during the part of the day where all other rides have long waits. - Manny Barron

I don't know if i'm just imagining things but since they renovated it i really dont like it as much. This was my favorite ride of all time when i was little, and now it seems all disorganized and jumbled...unless im just imagining things like i said. - Chloe !

This ride features the famous singing dolls. The ride has been greatly improved as of 2/2009. New dolls have been added to each scene that represent characters from Disney's animated movies. 8/10 for the new version - Will Chilcote

This ride has been a children, then grandchildren, magnet since we took our first child in 1974. All 3 kids, and subsequently, all 8 grandchilodren, have just loved it. - Dave Williamson

Fun for little kids but annoying for most older people. MOST people. I like it. - Sam C

Somebody tell those dolls to SHUT UP!!! - lewis bryces
