Whether you are a little kid or a slightly older kid, the “It’s a Small World” ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World is a must-ride at every visit. It is a nice escape from reality for a few minutes, taking riders back to a time when theme parks, and life were a bit simpler.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of “It’s a Small World” debuting at Disneyland. It originally was built for the New York World’s Fair in 1964-65 and then was shipped piece-by-piece to Disneyland.
Here is a little retrospective Disney put together about the ride to mark its anniversary.
I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times.
I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other sites include DMR and VideoGamesStats.com.
