If she also came up with that awful song I will have to make an exception to the rule of not speaking ill.

[Wiggins]

The last time I heard that song was at the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing N.Y.

[Domandred]

NOOOOOOOO now I have the song stuck in my head again.

Disneyland designing It's a Small World to fit fatter folks [FR]

Take away the song and the way it’s designed so you can tell which dolls are from which country is rather interesting.

That said, we did use the ride as punishment for my 12 year old cousin. We made him take his 3 year old sister on it several times after he was misbehaving.

It was only as of 2 yrs ago that the Magic Kingdom ride closed its doors for updating the ride. The kids faces you used to see on the wall towards the left where the boats exit from had been in taken in the 1960s...those “kids” were in their 50s by now and the park needed to update the paint and other dolls around the ride.

The interesting fact I learned from someone who manages at MK was that on average they pull about 500k in change from the water and give it to charity. There is a vacuum that sucks up a lot of it...but that there are parts that have never been sucked up before so there are original coins in there from the last 25 + yrs.

It’s a Dull Ride, After All.

She may be gone, but her legacy lives on.

And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...

It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears; it’s a world of hopes and a world of fears; There’s so much that we share that it’s time we’re aware it’s a small world after all.

Carlson was among the creators of a miniature prototype of "It's a Small World" for the 1964 World's Fair in New York

I was there and it was awesome....as is the one in CA.
R.I.P. Miss Joyce, and thank you for the memories.

Oh, and RIP.

My daughter, SIL and two granddaughters got stuck in there for about an hour--the ride broke. They were stuck in...MEXICO!

Yes...the song kept going.

[Dionysius]

Worse than waterboarding.

[Revolting cat!]

I usually sing Feeeeeeeeeelings... or I've gotta be meeeeeeeeeeee!" to make other stuff go away! I am I said, and We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun are good ones too!

It's a Small World" for the 1964 World's Fair in New York

I was there as a child and that song runs in my mind with hearing the words "small world".

Don't speak ill of the dead, don't speak ill of the dead.....
