Small World now closing May 2nd?

[trstno1]

I haven't seen any posts - did they move up the Small World refurbishment schedule? My oldest DD was really looking forward to it.

I read about this also, on another site. Can anyone confirm?

I Hope Not - We will be there May 15-23 and I wanted to ride it before it closed. Any one know the answer?????

It still says June 7 on Deb's All Ears site.

Oh no! We arrive May 2!! We drove down from NJ on our very first trip. On the way home, we sang It's a Small World the entire length of I-95! It's our favorite MK attraction.

I just went to Disney's web page and it says May 2nd!
That makes me very sad as we will be there in May and my nieces were really looking forward to riding it.

IASW will be closing May 2 but Snow White will be reopening from rehab early on May 7. (per the WDW official site)

We went to Dl 2 years ago and IASW was closed for rehab. We are going this year to WDW May 13-21 and IASW is closed for rehab. I guess I am not meant to see it.

Well we liked it too. IT was just calm to sit there and here the different countries. It is sad, espically since it's going to be closed until what I thought was 2005. Were going back in December of this year. Well that's another reason to make another trip. If you can take video of it so you can compare it to the new version.

WHAT?!?!!

That can't be true! We were so happy that we would be able to ride it before it shut down. We arrive May 29th & leave June 18th. We were going to make sure we get on Small World before the 7th!!!!

Oh man.....that stinks!
Why are they moving it up????

But does anyone know what they did to Snow White? We will be there the 4th - 13th, but not sure which day to do MK, I don't think I will let it hinge on the Snow White opening...LOL!

According to the Disney Cast Portal ...

"it's a small world"will be closed for refurbishment as of Sunday, May 2, 2004 and will reopen in Spring 2005.

Oh My - I just checked the Official Site and it is TRUE. I am so sad now. I am dreading telling my mother (she will be there with us). She has been trying to go to Disney since 2000 but due to health problems has not been able to keep any of her plans. They have cancelled at least 6 times but are determined to go this time since we and my brother will be joining them for part of their trip. I know she will be very upset this may be her last trip ever since she was just diagnosed with CML.

I am arriving May 7 and was going to do it before it closed too, oh well at least it will cut down on congestion in that area, the two million strollers that are usually lined up there won't be there right? look on the bright side I guess.
