After we rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World we were off to It’s a Small World ride. Nervous that it would be shorter like Pirates of the Caribbean we headed over to take a sail around the world. As we headed towards the ride we saw that the entrance was a tent to get inside… Saddened by the outside but we were still excited to see a different version.
As we got on the boat we were super excited to see this version. My first impression was the boats were smaller and almost felt like you are sinking into the water. But as we traveled around I noticed that the room size felt a bit smaller in size.
I did like the updated characters because they were more vibrant in color. The jungle room is gorgeous. But, the “White” room was not as “White” it is still beautiful but different. It was more of a baby blue color. The White room in Disneyland always makes me think of Heaven. I always think this is what it must be like when were are all together and in white. So the church girl in me of course missed that part of the ride. But it was still fun!
I did miss all the Disney Character dolls in the Disneyland version. It makes it feel more like a Disney ride.
The only other thing was I missed the outside of the one in Disneyland. If you’ve ever been to Disneyland and been on It’s a Small World you know as well as I do that it is gorgeous on the outside! It’s almost as pretty as Auror’s Castle. My daughter when she was 2 saw the outside of It’s A Small World ride in the distance! She screamed with pure joy and thought it was beautiful! So the outside of the one in Disneyland is better!
The following is my breakdown of the rides at both parks:
