We’ve got GREAT news for fans of iconic Disneyland rides!

Disneyland

One of the most beloved rides in Disneyland Park is “it’s a small world,” which takes guests on “the happiest cruise that ever sailed.” The ride features nearly 300 animatronic dolls that represent children from cultures all across the world. Those dolls serenade visitors with what might be the catchiest song ever; You only have to ride it once to have that song stuck in your head all day! This ride was closed for a couple of weeks as Disney refurbished the attraction, but now it’s finally reopening soon!

“it’s a small world” will reopen in Disneyland Park tomorrow, on January 19th! Opening times are posted for the 19th from 8AM through 12AM.

The ride was closed starting on January 8th, so the closure lasted not quite two weeks. When a ride closes for refurbishment, Disney usually refreshes the paint job, updates anything that needs to be changed, and checks on the mechanics of the attraction. We can expect this ride to be running smoothly for a while after its touch-ups.
