Frog Overview
Climb aboard and glide past nearly 300 brightly costumed dolls and animals as they sing “It’s a Small World” and dance on the shores of the Seven Seaways water canals that embrace this miniature globe. Dressed in costumes that represent more than 100 nations, the dolls sing “it’s a small world” in 5 languages. The major themes you sail by include Europe, Asia, Africa, Central/South America, South Pacific Islands, the Finale and the Good-bye Scene.
Yes, the song will get stuck in our heads, and yes, we'll probably sing it the rest of the day, but we refuse to go to Magic Kingdom® Park and not go on it's a small world® Attraction at least once. It's an adorable attraction, a great international lesson and worth the eye-rolling!
it's a small world® Attraction is an 11-minute gentle boat ride located across from Peter Pan's Flight® Attraction in Fantasyland® Area at Magic Kingdom® Park. Each boat can hold up to 20 people. There are no restraints in the boats as the attraction is slow-moving, gentle and appropriate for all ages.
Guests must transfer from their motorized scooter or ECV to an available wheelchair to experience the attraction. Flash photoraphy is not allowed inside the attraction. Handheld Captioning devices, which display text segments, are available at Guest Relations. Audio Description devices provide supplemental audio for guests with visual disabilities and are also available at Guest Relations.

Fun Facts
- it's a small world® Attraction was first designed for the 1964 New York World's Fair and later moved to the Disneyland® Park in California along with 3 other attractions, including Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln (which became part of the Hall of Presidents) and the Carousel of Progress.
- The original concept for it's a small world® Attraction had the dolls singing the national anthem from each country they represented. A good idea in theory, but everyone singing a different tune resulted in a musical cacophony that clearly weakened the attraction's theme of harmony.
