Go Behind-the-Scenes of Disneyland’s ‘it’s a small world’ Holiday Transformation

When you think of classic Disney rides, which ride comes to mind first?

“it’s a small world” Disneyland

Love it or hate it, “it’s a small world” is one of those classic Disney rides with an earworm of a song, and you can find it at five different Disney Parks around the world! At a few of these parks, the ride is transformed for the holidays, and we just got an inside look at this big transformation.

Every year Disneyland Park reveals “it’s a small world” Holiday, complete with a full holiday makeover both inside AND outside. The ride typically closes at the end of October through mid-November to make all the holiday changes, and this year the ride will be closed from October 24th to November 10th, 2022.
