It's A Small World Refurbishment?

[Corryn]

Hi everyone,
I read it here a while ago that the Small World attraction will be/already is refurbished. Can anyone give me the latest? Was it completely overhauled or was it just dusted and cleaned?
Thanks

I know that is reopens in May and have heard lots of different things. cleaning, adding on, will just have to wait and see.

OOh, OOOh, Oooh, What site was that????? I love to see the refurbishments going on, with all the guts and stuff. Do you remember the site?

The only thing they're doing is cleaning up the entire ride and digitally remastering the audio, so it doesn't sound so dry. Once you play something over and over and over it begins to lose quality you know. Nothing drastic. There were a lot of rumors around that they were going to add more countries, but those are just rumors...No truth to them.

Redoing the entrance and exit areas. Supposed to look more like the DL version, but not out in the open.

Somehow, at least according to the pictures we've seen, it's a little more than just a 'cleaning up!" Check out some of the pictures on this site: http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21078#post21078

They are adding several new audioanimatronic dolls. They also are making all new costumes. Lots of other stuff being done. There was an article in the Orlando paper a couple of weeks ago.

Holy Cow! I hope there's a lot of change but with some of the classical elements as well!

Wow! That is incredible. I had no idea they were gutting the whole thing!
