Readers' rating:
Really not as annoying as it used to be - Andrew Dougherty Yes this ride is primarily geared towards toddlers, it's still an enjoyable ride and a good way to pass time. However, I actually wouldn't mind the Disneyland upgrade and the song is sweet, yet nerve-wracking. 7/10 - Christopher Sturniolo make it stop!!!!!!!!! a classic can be enjoyed but that gosh darn song it re starts in my brain every time i go to WDW AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! - Manny Rodriguez Many people say this song is annoying, but I found the ride to be a nice little cruise, and a very very efficient way to talk and rest with your kids! - Brendan Harrison It's a classic, my gran enjoys it. I could never ride it again. - Lauren Hayhurst OK I know its a classic ride but I hate it. Last time I went on this was in 2007 and avoided it like the plague in 2011. It was closed anyway to my relief as a couple of my group wanted to go on it. Not for people below the age of 65 and you simply will not get the song out of your head. Writing this review now, it is in my head and I haven't heard it for over 4 years! - James McGee It's a Small World may be a classic but there is a reason that it was spoofed so well in 'The Simpsons'. The song is annoying, the animatronics creepy and it is good for one thing - to escape the heat. If you're a fan of the aforementioned animated show just sing 'Duff beer for me, duff beer for you' to amuse yourself. Queue - All indoors and air-conditioned. Attraction is not worth anything above 5 minutes. - Mark Williams Classic, although not as good as Disneylands,although on the plus side this version is devoid of the dreaded Disney characters :). the song doez get annoying so dont overide it - travis traymoore Leave your cynicism at the door and just enjoy the innocence of it all. - Man-Eating Sharks It's okay. The one in Paris is much better and the sound quality is really bad also, but still a classic ride! 6/10 - D H This pales in comparison to the original in Anaheim. There are fewer dolls, the scenery is very flat and 2-dimensional, and the sound quality is poor. - Mostly Anonymous Our little girls LOVE this ride, and I appreciate that it is very long, so you feel like it's worth it if you waited a while for it. But Disney seriously needs to either demolish it or update it. I don't think they've changed a damn thing in it since it opened, and it's obvious and painful. It feels like it's reinforcing thoughtless stereotypes instead of honoring cultures. And I'm really not the sort of person who usually gets up in arms about that type of thing. - Heather Olson A good ride, but sometimes you just wanna get out of your boat and remove the voice chips. 7/10 - Dominick D Clasic. - Arianna Griffel Classic ride and a cool relaxing ride on a hot day. :) - Don Neal It's a Disney classic. If it's your first time, it's a must do. It's not as flashy like rides are today but it's great for all ages! Come back later if the line is lone. It usually quiets down toward the evening. Not worth a half hour or more in line. I rate this a 7/10 due to it's classic nature. - Bob Liebe Nice place to cool off - not a bad ride by any means. I've been on many worse. - Dan Jones 5/10. Also, a classic ride in the sense that many people think of it's a small world when they hear Magic Kingdom. Has the most catchy, stuck in your brain song. A ride the whole family can enjoy. I've been on it MANY times, now I can't get on it even at a walk on, but only because I've seen it over and over again. If your a first timer, check it out because it is a classic attraction. - Nick Dakuginow If you have to wait in line, DON'T BOTHER. Yes, it's a classic, but it doesn't warrant actually waiting in line to experience. Personally, it freaks me out, and I'd avoid it if others in my party weren't always so heart-set on going. - Stephanie I More attraction and restaurant ratings:
