It's a Small World to close for almost 1 year!

[goofyernmost]

I wouldn't call it something that I MUST see but I usually manage to ride it once every third trip. Just for old times sake.

This month I did notice that a lot of the stuff is not working. The mechanical things in there are not really rocket science either, so there is no real reason for it not to be working. It needs a clean up and maybe upgraded AA's and just a general sprucing up.

I can live without it for a year. It will be tough but I can do it, I know I can.



PS....Does anyone know how to get rid of the countdown clock, below, once the trip is over?

I could pass on this ride too (the song!) but DH said he'd vote for it over Winnie the Pooh. (sob) There's just no accounting for taste!

Since my 3-yr old daughter is afraid of birds, she won't miss it. She rode the whole ride with her hands over her eyes. Funny... the Snow White ride didn't bother her.

That's so sad. My dd would have loved it. Oh, well, there's always next time.

To get rid of the countdown clock, I'm assuming you'd have to go to your profile and delete the little blurb. I'm not positive about that though.

I know I'm not spelling this right, but "Say wat da kraph?" (goodbye on one of the flowers).

A trip to Disney just isn't a trip to Disney without a ride on "It's A Small World." That sure is a long time for it to be closed. They must be planning a real heavy duty rehab for it. Either that, or all the small world kids are going on an extended vacation back to their home countries.

It's not one of my favorite rides, but it is one that I will miss when it goes for a rehab.

Thats exactly how I feel. I wouldnt say I love it, but its just so Disney that it has to be done on each trip. Ill miss it in July, but I guess the bright side is it will free up 10 minutes for another ride.

I held my breath when I opened this for fear it was going to be closed in May! The ride may not be the most exciting, but it puts a smile on my face!

WOW....That is the best news I have heard in a while. I take comfort in knowing that I will not have to endure the torture of that painful attraction during my stay in December of this year. Although it is a clasic, a major facelift and modification would go a long way to make this ride more palateable for the masses that are forced to suffer through 15 minutes or so of monotony. It is cute to ride once in your life but that is about it. I truly hope that it is changed for the better. I know it seems anti-disney to post this but after getting stuck on it twice in for over 40 minutes the singing was almost more than I could bare. I truly mean no offense to anyone I just want to say that "It's A Small World" really needs help to appeal to a wider audience.

This ride is a staple of the MK. I don't mind missing it but my 2 DDs will be bummed.

Also newbies will not get to experience it. We are bringing my sister and her DD age 4 for their first (and probably last) time trip to WDW in August so I'm very bummed that my niece won't get to experience it.

My DH actually likes going on this ride just for the AC and being able to relax for awhile and there's usually not a long line. So he'll miss it for that aspect!
