Come join the children's hopeful song! Bon Voyage Board your boat and set sail on a nearly 15-minute intercontinental expedition around the Seven Seaways canal.

The joyful journey ends with a magical and heart-warming grand finale featuring all the world's children singing together as one. Say goodbye, Aloha or au revoir to your global friends —you'll be humming their melody all day long The Dolls From toy soldiers to ballerinas to vaqueros to Chinese acrobats, see more than 300 animated dolls representing over 100 regions from around the world. Disney Legend Alice Davis painstakingly researched and designed individual costumes for each doll, inspired by the traditional wardrobe of each culture. Some familiar new faces debuted on February 6, 2009 with the addition of dolls representing select Disney and Disney·Pixar characters. The Scenes Designed by legendary Disney artist Mary Blair, the settings are as spectacular and whimsical as the dolls. Resembling a fantasy world lovingly crafted out of construction paper, ribbon, glitter, buttons, fabric and papier-mâché, the sets' simplicity and inventiveness recall the wide-eyed creations of a child. Float past scenes representing: The Polar Regions The British Isles Western Europe Eastern Europe The Middle East Asia Africa South America Under the Sea The South Pacific The United States The Song Written and composed by the Academy Award® winning team of brothers Richard and Robert Sherman, the song "it's a small world" has become one of the most well-known tunes of all time. The infectious melody is sung in the native language of the respective dolls and is orchestrated using instruments indigenous to each region— including Scottish bagpipes, Peruvian reed flutes and Tahitian drums. Walt Disney originally envisioned using the national anthems for each country. He quickly discovered that while the world may one day sing in perfect harmony, our national anthems will always be sung to different tunes. Walt asked the Sherman Brothers to write a single song to avoid a musical cacophony. The Famous Façade Be sure to check out the attraction's kinetic façade, complete with spinning flowers, whirligigs and icons depicting famous world landmarks. The highlight is the animated 30-foot-tall clock tower. Watch as every 15 minutes the clock tower opens up to display a multinational parade of 24 animated figures. Once the procession ends, 2 toy jesters appear and herald the current time "it's a small world" holiday During Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, "it's a small world" is transformed into "it's a small world" holiday. During this special time of year, the classic "it's a small world" song is joined by traditional holiday tunes, regional holiday decorations brighten up the ride, and thousands of festive lights adorn the attraction façade. Take a trip to Disneyland Park and feel the holiday spirit! History Personally supervised by Walt Disney, "it's a small world" was created for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair in honor of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Attracting more than 10 million visitors, "it's a small world" was such a smash hit that when the World's Fair ended, Walt had it shipped piece-by-piece to Disneyland Park, where it reopened on May 28, 1966. The rededication ceremony featured children from around the world pouring water from their native land into the Seven Seaways. Due to its immense popularity, "it's a small world" has been replicated in every Disney Resort around the world.
