This is a very calm ride that takes you on a boat through the different countries of the world. When I went there, it was fun guessing each country by the clothing and buildings. This is a good ride for people who want a calm and relaxing ride.

Sometimes this ride is great, especially on a hot day, and then other times it’s a great nap. It has not changed since I was kid or maybe it has and I didn’t notice, but anyways it’s can be a bit of a bore. But hey out of the sun so cool.

Great amazing ride! The ride goes at a good speed (fast enough for it to be not boring, but also slow enough so then you can get enough of the different sections of the ride. The music is a good volume, and not too loud for it to hurt your ears. It is catchy, so it may be stuck in your head for a little while once you exit the ride.

The best version of the ride, anywhere. I love how they’ve blended in Disney characters in a way that’s true to the ride. (Don’t wait long for it, though. If you watch wait times it gets down to 10-15 and the line is in the beating hot sun.)

Cant lie. The song is mind-numbingly repetitive, but I love this ride. It is a nice temperature, it is chill, and it is fun seeing the different treatments of cultures all over the world. Plus, it is kind of an iconic ride and is very kid friendly. The line usually isnt too bad either.

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD RIDE. Its great for the whole family. Everyone will love it. Its a nice, smooth, fun boat ride that takes you through different parts of the world like the dessert, tropical island,china,irelend,and all sorts of places! You can also find dolls of your favorite disney characters in the area that they belong in. Fpr example, you can find lilo and stitch in the torpical islands. Or Jessy and Woody in the dessert/western. I love the smell for some reason. It is really refreshing. The AC feels nice too. I just cant get enough of this ride. Its almost too good to be true. haha.

Love this ride! It’s so fun to go on with family, I have lots of great memories going on this ride with the rest of my family. The song is so catchy and will definitely get stuck in your head but that’s not a bad thing! The level of detail on the ride is immaculate and incredible, and shows the great commitment of the Imagineers to making fun, engaging rides. You have to check out this ride if you’re in Disneyland!

Fun ride, especially for younger children. This was a great display of the different places, people, and cultures of the world. Fantastic, low energy, superb creativity, an all around great ride.

We had someone in our party who had never rode Its A Small World before. This ride is a must ride for anyone who has never been to Disney. However once you’ve done it, there really isn’t a need to do it again. They play the same song over and over so the melody get old fast. The little animatronics are creepy in my opinion, but it’s nice to see a good portion of the world represented (albeit stereotypically) in the ride.

Classic ride but very dated and needs a refurbishment.The holiday edition is worth the wait in line as it’s packed this time of the year. Waiting for the time to change every 15 minutes is not to be missed.Where the older kids will want to do the Haunted Mansion Holiday this is the place to see all the lights and the magic that Disneyland has to offer.Watch out for the strollers and the area does close for fireworks but it’s a lot of fun.

That was amazing ! Five Stars I totally love this ride , the holiday version is much better than the normal version,in my opinion.Christmas time at disneyland gets me so emotional What a sight, the beautiful twinkling lights hugging its a small world and the all new Holiday moments inside this boat around the world including Christmas classicsAnd santas north pole and more.Makes the small world attraction seem like a big world.

This was one of the only things I remember from the first time I went to Disneyland when I was young. It has definitely changed not necessarily good or bad just different. I really dont like the beginning of the ride though

A classic Disneyland attraction, and I think it gets better the older you get. Its a ride an energetic child may not enjoy as much as the adult. Haha

Review №27

A 15 boat ride attraction located in the Fantasyland area of Disneyland. Beautiful display of signing dolls representing the various countries. Especially breathtaking during the Christmas season. The clock chimes every 15 minutes and a several dolls make an appearance. One of my favorite Disneyland attractions!

Review №28

This iconic mid-century modern Mary Blair art piece has brought joy to millions for over 50 years, and will continue to do so for years to come. The winter/holiday overlay is ridiculous and should be discontinued as nothing is as good as the original experience.

Review №29

This is definitely the best ride if you wanna get away from the California sun. Very well air conditioned. It’s pretty long inside the ride (sometimes too long) but if you’ve done all the rides and you need a break but don’t just want to be sitting on a bench...this ride is your best bet. Just watch out, the song WILL get stuck in your brain.

Review №32

The It’s a Small World in Disneyland is very similar to the one we have in Magic Kingdom. The Disneyland version has overlays including characters from Toy Story and other Disney movies. Also the music is slightly changing language from room to room. This makes it not quite as repetitious and annoying.

Review №33

Terrible experience, here’s what happened:On around November 11, my family went to Disneyland Park at Its a small world. We had fast pass, so we just went in. We waited 2 hours for the ride to go. There was a big malfunction with the rubber tires and the water belts.Absolute idiot workers, didn’t fix it at all.Next time going to California Adventure.

The song may be the most obnoxious part of the ride but you will be amazed by how much is going on inside the ride. Perfect for little kids! Colorful, vibrant and so many things to catch their attention. Its also a long ride inside an air conditioned building which is a HUGE bonus.

Very addicting song.. When you leave the park and drive back home..all you think about is ITS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL~ ITS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL~ But still..amazing ride and love the dolls. Im half cambodian so when I saw the cambodian part, I flipped out when I was little. I used to think cambodians were rare and seeing the culture in a FAMOUS ride litterally made my day!

Classic Disneyland ride! Glad a fast/max pass is available. Absolutely beautiful and the song is timeless. There is so much to see that you notice new things with every ride. Especially love the end when all the dolls are in white and gold.

Review №46

I give it 5 stars because it’s a classic Disney ride. And the kids like it.Pros. It nice and cool inside the ride and it’s like 20 minutes long great for those hot days.Cons. The music makes you internally scream “make it stop, please make it stop” then Weeping hahah and it’s 20 minutes long. But kidding aside it’s a must ride to get the full Disney experience.

Review №47

My wife loves this ride, so Ill get in trouble if I give it any less than 5 stars. But, I love it too, so its ok. Its a great 12 minute break and time off your feet out of the sun. Its fun to spot all the Disney characters and look for how Disney once again doesnt miss a step. The best things are in the details.

Review №51

Pretty sure if you were to get stuck on this ride for an hour, it would be against the Geneva Convention and considered torture.But if youre on it for ten minutes then youll have a jolly old time watching small international children sing the same song over and over again.Fun fact kids edition: you can see your favorite characters from other movies sprinkled within.Fun Fact adult edition: towards the end of the ride theres literally a guy choking a chicken. Insane.

Very relaxing and calming ride. You can just sit back and relax while a boat flows slowly through different countries and settings, while music plays. In my opinion, the holiday version is far better than the normal one.

Small World is a Disney classic and must-do on your trip. Yes, the music is repetitive(unless you come for Christmas time, where they mix it up a bit and put on a Christmas overlay) but the boat ride is plenty long.

Review №72

I had a real bad experience on Small World many years ago. Ride got stuck, and that music just kept playing. Criminals would confess if made to listen to that tune. I avoided the ride for decades, but my granddaughter loves it, so I forced myself to endure the pain. I used headphones playing classic rock the first couple of times. I have now managed to make it through without the filter. I will never like the ride, but love for my granddaughter wins every time.

Disney classic! Built for the New York Worlds Fair 1964/1965 and brought to Disneyland in 1966. Takes about 15 minutes. Good for all ages. Catchy song you cant get out of your head!The holiday overlay is so pretty! Very colorful and the dolls sing Jingle Bells.A great holiday tradition.

If you’re an adult, avoid this place! It’s a weird random mix of creepy dolls that sing a tune that as others said will be stuck in your head but... in your worst nightmares!Spoiler alert: there’s nothing small about this place, it’s actually the longest ride in the whole park! Felt like I wasted 20 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

My buddy was drunk on this ride. Picked a fight with Holland and ended up with a wooden shoe upside his head. Do NOT mess with these dolls, they are real and they have a particular set of skills. They will find you and they will....... Great on hot days too.

Review №93

It is a true Disney classic and many will always love and adore this ride. It is a nice break from the heat if you are there on a hot day. I have to give you the reasoning behind only 2 stars. When I was there for my first time, we went on this ride. It was great and I loved it. The following day we went on it again during the heat of the day. Well......the ride broke down and we sat there listening to the music for over half an hour. I cannot listen to that song now without cringing in horror. Had it not been destroyed for me due to that break down, I would have given it a 5.

Review №98

It’s a small world after all it’s a classic. A few years back they really did a few parts of it by adding in some common Disney characters such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan,, Cinderella, Ariel, the three Caballeros, Milan and Mushu, Lilo and stitch, Pumba, Nemo and Dori, Woody and Jessie, and I’m sure I missed a few more. Great place to go get some air conditioning for an 8 to 12 minute ride depending on who’s got their hand dragging in the water ahead of you slowing the boats down. Alone warning, if you haven’t been on it you may not know How strongly the song world in bed in your head. LOL nin how strongly the song world in bed in your head.

I normally dont care for the ride much (beside for it being a Disneyland staple) but the Christmas overhaul did wonders to it. The music is different too, so if you were like me and got really annoyed with the music and clock sounds outside while queuing up, youll welcome this too. Also, the outside lights up really nicely at night.
