Point one: it is a long ride that tends to have a short line so its a nice restful break.Point two: yes the song will stick in your head but that is because its a catchy tune! Would you rather go on a ride that has bad music?Point three: lets face it its iconic. If you have not been on its a small world then you have not been to Disney! Skipping this would be like visiting the Louvre and not seeing the Mona Lisa.You just cant miss it.

Wonderful ride for the whole family! It’s quite a long ride so well worth the wait. Incredibly colorful and well designed to represent cultures around the world.

Absolutely love small world. Disney knows exactly how to do it. It never gets old. Their social distancing works pretty well too. I was very happy to see that. Disney has not lost a beat but they have stepped up there sanitation processes big time. I would recommend going back to the park. And while youre there definitely check out its a small world one of my favorite ride since I was a little kid

It is a beautiful and magical place, very well designed with spaces for each representation of the countries, the music and the synchronization of the dolls is great.

One of the oldest and creepiest rides in Disney world.this is my wifes first time on the ride, and will most likely be her last. It is really showing its age but it is as I remember riding as a boy but it was a much different experience. My eight-year-old didnt really appreciate the history and symbolism of Its a Small World ride.

This ride is a classic! Its perfect if you are very hot and need to cool down, and its filled with cute animatronics and a fun song that is sung in different languages! Overall, a very beautiful ride that anyone of any age can enjoy.

I always tell my wife I can feel Walt Disneys ghost on this ride. Not literally, but at the spirit he put into the theme parks before his death. The message of this ride is truly magical and amazing just like the man who created it.

Who wouldnt like taking a 10 minute stroll around the world. At 60 plus, this ride will always be a favorite. Its safe and fun!!

This is a must see. The small world character figures represent many nations. Very colorful, spectacular display, all observed while we cruise through in small boats. Highly creative, pleasant and thoroughly entertaining.

Another must see while visiting the Magic Kingdom!! This ride was a large part of my childhood when we came here often and it has not changed at all over the years. You will spend the rest of the day singing the song! Riding the boat around the worlds is great for children and adults. There is nothing scary at all of the children and they will love seeing the children from all over the world. Make sure to visit here while here, you wont be disappointed!

Dont go on it if youve been to the one in Disneyland. It is a less impressive and smaller version of the California one, with no hidden characters in it and less visuals. Still cute and amazing to go on dont get me wrong, but if you are planning on standing in a line for an hour and are used to the Disneyland one, maybe spend that hour waiting in line for a different ride.

Its a small world after all. Whats not to like, its a cool relaxing boat ride with singing and cute animitronics representing characters from around the world.

Ok, its worth going on, its pretty long, but has alot to look at and the kiddos like the sights and colors.

This ride is definitely not for everyone as it is odd, but i love it because it is one of the original rides and it remains intact. It also a great way to take a small break in between running from ride to ride.

Near empty parks right now. Pretty much just walk right onto rides. Everything is really clean. Even seems freshly painted.

A classic, old school attraction. The line is often up to an hour, but it is air conditioned, and makes for a nice break from the heat. Then a calm boat ride with plenty of color and a soundtrack you will remember for the rest of your life.

Beautiful slow ride! Must try ride available on Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Orlando. The queue gets crowded though so plan to utilize fast pass or finish it off during early or late hours.

Review №23

Classic Ride. No trip to Disney world would be complete without this ride. Some people say the song is annoying and it might be but the experience is a classic. Any child whos at Disney world should ride this. Its not too crowded and the line was not too long and we went. We waited for about 10 minutes. Plenty to look at while in line.

Review №27

A timeless Disney Classic!!! Its been the same for years but, its a necessary stop while visiting the Magic Kingdom. The wait time moves very quickly as boats are constantly moving. The staff is very nice and helpful. You will board a boat and enter its a small world. Singing from all over the world fills the air. Its a very happy ride. Its such a wonderful thing to look at all of the people riding. Most are smiling and even more are singing along!!!! Dont miss this one!!

Review №29

Relaxing ride for the kids, especially when its scorching hot outside! The animatronics are really nice but havent changed much since 5 years ago.Toddlers aged 7+ may find the ride boring so weigh out the wait time (10mins-100mins) vs ride time (2-3mins). If you can get a FastPass+ great, but there are other rides that I would use the FastPass+ on first.Still, a great ride for the young ones!

Review №35

This is just a classic. It is aging but still has mass appeal and a tune that id hard to get out of your head in a good way. I love all the attention to details on this slow boat ride. There is no way to take it all in the first time, I suppose that is its main appeal that there is always something you forgot about or missed previously. It is also a good quick ride with small wait times at certain times of the day when most ofther rides in the area are 10x longer.

This ride is a ton of fun, wait isn’t too bad, and the ride last a long time. I’ve been in this ride both at Disney world and Disneyland. Absolutely amazing at both locations. I couldn’t imagine a trip to Disney without going on this ride.

A Disney Classic!Essentially its a slow boat ride with animatronic children singing the most ear worm worthy song of all time!Its showing its age in 2019, but it should be an essential part of your Disney park experience.

Ride is fun for children and not scary at all for them.For anyone that really understands the truth, this is a horror story. The trapped puppets must be freed! Also there’s this 2 cm drop at the end where you begin to accelerate so be ready

A classic. Although the Disneyland version is better, this attraction should not be missed by anyone with children or anyone who is a child at heart. The song is catchy and you will find yourself humming it for days to the irritation of everyone around you.

I do you understand is the Christmas holiday but this is totally unacceptable the line is posted for 25 minute weight and were about an hour and 15 minutes and I still have like another 40% online to go this is really unacceptable they need to post the correct wait times I mean this is totally unacceptable you have elderly people and disabled vets like myself waiting in line when they misled Me by 25 minutes and Im in this line for over an hour and 20 minutes so far and Ive yet to see the front of the line believe me. For my kids I would have left a while ago

Its a classic ride that you should at least do once if your a first time visitor. The line gets long fast and yes the song does get repetitive over and over again. Its a short ride but fun for your first time.

This is our sons favorite ride. He loves this ride and we have done it multiple times. It’s easy to get fast pass for this ride. It has small people figures in various traditional clothes dancing and singing. It shows lot of different cultures and it was fun explaining our son about different countries and their cultures.

Ca
Review №75

Classic ride, that is a must do on any Disney trip. The tame boat ride takes you through multiple scenes, whilst the song “it’s a small world” gets stuck in your head (in a good way).The only downside is this ride is showing its age, which can make it seem disappointing in comparison to other rides like Avatar etc.

Classic Disney Ride that never gets old... Especially great at accommodating disabled.

A classic must-ride at Disneys Magic Kingdom. A slow boat ride that may leave you regretting not bringing headphones when you inevitably get held up in the disembarking zone listening to this earworm of a song on repeat.

The line might look long, but it goes quick. 15 Min wait in the morning and 45 mins in the evening... This was during the holidays.

Review №80

Its Un-American to miss this experience, and a required ride in the Magic Kingdom, yes a bit dated from the far out 70s but its a classic. We decided we want to clean the river, there are some interesting and large coins in there. I wonder how often if ever they do?

Mi
Review №81

Another Classic Disney ride! If you don’t get off this ride singing “it’s a small world”, you didn’t ride it at all. Definitely one of the coolest attractions that showcases some of the classic animatronics from the era of Walt Disney! Definitely ride it if you haven’t already. Quick Tip: ride during after hours events or during the Fireworks show and the wait is maybe 5-15 minutes.

Great ride for little kids. Shame on you adults who dont give this ride 5 stars and just want to go back to those crazy rides in Universal Studios. You are the reason of wars in this little world.

A classic, must-do, ride. Yes, its sacrilegious for me to give it anything but a 5 star... I realize... but dang if that song doesnt haunt me for hours after the ride. If I gave it a 5, Id likely not sleep till I changed it back.

Laura and I were married in 1974 and spent our honeymoon in Disney World. Our favorite ride was Its A Small World! It has a very addicting tune, beautiful displays, and a timeless message!So after 44 years of marriage we decided to celebrate by riding our favorite ride once again! Thanks to the cast of characters and all the behind the scenes crews for making Disney World and Its A Small World our special place!!!

One of the oldest rides in the park. A relaxing float through an animatronic landscape featuring the people of the world all reminding us that we live on a small planet that we all have to share. A favorite of most women I know and a nostalgia ride for me.

This is a great ride if youve never been on the one in Disneyland resort but that ride is better with a nicer facade and setup. The overall ride is a boat tour through the world where each room is a different Land filled with animatronic children singing the theme song and doing activities related to their land.

LOVE this ride! The song is great too! There are so many colorful dolls and props. Every time I ride, I see something new. It is a relaxing, yet classic, little boat ride. I just wish that Disney would start selling the dolls again. LOVE them!

Classic Disney ride. Indoor attraction that allows you to take a break from the sun, heat, and humidity. Its a gentle ride in a boat. You will not get wet. This is a slow ride without dips or hills. Thrillseekers may be bored. There is only a bump toward the end of the ride as the boats come into the queue for passengers to unload; the boat bumpers hit each other causing a bit of a bump. There are handicap accommodations that can be made on this attraction. Wait for this ride is usually about 10 min. Learn the words and sing along with your family for some silly fun.
