Frog Family Tips and Fun Facts about "it's a small world"
Frog Family Tips
- Choose the right-hand side of the queue when it splits if you don't need wheelchair access; this will lead you to the non-wheelchair loading zone, which loads much quicker!
- Go during peak hours of the day. You'll find that the boats are moving faster due to the water pressure system they operate on; this leads to a much shorter wait.
- Be aware - this ride closes yearly in mid-October and reopens in November for a holiday overlay! Consequently, it closes again in January for the overlay removal.
- This attraction is offered using Disney Genie+ service.
