“it’s a small world” Holiday at Disneyland Photos and Facts #DisneyHolidays

it’s a world of laughter and a world of tears
it’s a world of hopes and a world of fears
there’s so much that we share
that is time we’re aware
it’s a small world after all

Since I was a young girl, “it’s a small world“ has been my favorite attraction at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom.  The beautiful animatronic dolls, the catchy lyrics, the colorful worlds, the boats–I loved all of it! The attraction, which was first featured  at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, symbolizes world piece and unity. Disneyland and Disney World is a melting pot of guests from just about everywhere where we live in harmony and peace at the “happiest place on earth”.

• The façade of “it’s a small world” Holiday features more than 300,000 twinkling lights. Bringing the global celebration of the Holidays to life are roughly 150,000 lights that illuminate the interior of the attraction.
• After dark, the smiling clock at the front of “it’s a small world” reveals a sparkling projection show. On every quarter hour, the façade of the attraction is transformed into an enormous clockwork mechanism with advanced 3D-projection technology. The gears and springs pull back to reveal a world of holiday wonders hidden behind the clock.
