Everyone should do it at least once a trip to WDW. A little dated & the song gets annoying by the end, but the sentiment is right on. It's a small world and we are all one.

Eric Stankovitz

One of Walt Disney's originals from the 1964 World's Fair ... It still delivers a sense of hope that we can all live together peacefully ... A must ride when you visit...

Matt Miller

Across from the bathrooms , between Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World, is a little courtyard where you can recharge your phone in one if about 4 or 5 fake tree stumps with outlets. Wow.

Dave Mc

I don’t know what it is about this ride, but kids just love it and want to go on over and over again. Be careful, maybe there’s some kind of hidden subliminal messages or something! ????

Michael Pack

A classic Walt Disney World ride. Tons of detail for those paying attention. The Sherman Brothers wrote a timeless song to accompany this, the happiest cruise that ever sailed .

The Transit Navigator

The classic attraction . It's a small world, after all! It's a small world, after all! It's a small world, after all! It's a small, small, world. It's a world of laughter, a world of joy; it's a world…

Karyn D

By far the best classic ride here but I think it still has the original dust on it. Gee Disney-for 90 a head - clean the darn ride and freshen the paint.

Andrew Hogue

Try to name all the stereotypes, ehr, uh, I mean cultures

Bev Westerberg

This is a great place to appreciate the artwork of May Blair, a Disney legend.

Ian Levenstein

If you get stuck in the ride, please do not go insane and murder whoever is sitting beside you. Just so your best to enter your happy place, and hopefully the ride will resume shortly .

Laur Lo Ski

Most classic ride at Magic Kingdom other than the teacups. Recommend, it's also a good cool down ride.

Greg Hipius

Most terrifying, soul-devouring ride in the parks . Or so I've been told. I've got some strange, dark friends.

Christina Sykora Kunka

Since they reversed the entrance and exit the right line is the rear of the boat and moves faster... The left side is slower and seats in the front of the boat.

Rhea W.

Cool ride to relax and unwind from crowd. Usually short wait .

Justin Lisenby

Fun and relaxing boat ride . One of the classic Disney experiences.

Michael Heckel

Since this attraction lasts about 10 minutes and the queue is covered, save it for when you need to rest your legs or you need a break from the heat.

Fady Aziz

If you have 3 - 8 years kids, then for sure its a don't miss. It simply visualizes worldwide cultures :)

Erin

If you get stuck, which happens a lot , cover ur ears the song gets stuck in your head for the next week great ride for relaxation

Jeff Gordon

If they have both lanes open, it doesn't matter which one you choose. Unlike with Pirates or the Haunted Mansion, the length is the same.

Mark Davis

Extremely outdated but it's the only ride all week my eight month old enjoyed.

Dustin

See all those coins down there? They go towards Maximizing Shareholder Value.

Fun ride. Just be ready to have the song in your head all day :)

Jon Darveau

A classic. Sure the song will be stuck in your head the rest of the day, but you have to do it. Long, leisurely ride if you need to just relax for a bit

Eric O

A cactus playing a guitar!? Now I've seen everything!

Jiyoon Kim

Cross your fingers that your ride won't get stuck at the white room for 15 minutes straight. Because that music and noises will be ringing inside your head for more than 12 hours.

Felishia K.

Great for babies! My 7 month old loved all the sights and music.....which is still stuck in my head! ????

Lindsaye

A great place to relax ! Now with an awesome interactive ending!

Dan Sohayda

Be ready to snap a pic of them saying goodbye to you by name now at the end of the ride.

Yvonne Kwan

Cute and relaxing ride as long as you're not afraid of having the song stuck in your head afterwards!

DisneyisLove

This ride always had an extremely long queue!! Be sure to ride during the first showing of the castle show or parade .

Kristine Rosko

Classic! "It's a small world after all!" will continuously play in your head for the rest of the day!

Natasha Shallon

This ride gave us the reaction we were hoping for - both kids completely in awe! 6 year old and 3 year old absolutely adored it.

Kyle LeBeau

It’s a classic. It’s creepy and annoying but it’s a classic and I love it

Kassandra

It's been around forever but it's a must! I still go on it after all these years!

Bob D

Fun and the song will stick in your head all day

Mickey Green

Always fun if you need time to kill. They used to have the name of the countries but now it's more of a guessing game.

Cheryl Jung

The only place the United States is represented is in the white room, with a cowboy. Walt wanted to focus on the rest of the world!

Richard Critz

Stay in the line to the right. They load front and back boats from that line while loading only the front boat from the left line .

Biz Traveldude

Love to hate it, but can't skip it

Undercover Tourist

Since this attraction lasts about 10 minutes and the queue is covered, save it for when you need to rest your legs or you need a break from the heat.

Snow Aeris

If you read the Kingdom Keepers series, remember to smile so you protect everyone in the boat that hasn't read it!!

Jiyoon Kim

Voldemort in Hogwarts didn't die from Harry Potter. He and his last horcrux were dead underneath the bottom of the water in white room after being stuck for more than 30 minutes.

Darren Hammond

You can really aggravate the people behind you by grabbing the walls which will slow down the ride~

Mallorie Greiner

My parents are making me go on this ride. I don't care that I live in my house rent free or that they still feed and cloth me at 22. I HATE THEM.

Dan Marshall

Only use a LL if you are 1. Insane or 2. So loaded that you have absolutely no sense. Normal queue said 35 mins and lasted 10.

Amanda May

We count which animals nod yes or shake their heads no. The tiger says no!

Alan Bruce

New and improved! But still the same classic must ride ride!

M Aldoss ♏

Joyful ride, the song is catchy. It is happy that will make you smile.

Jerry Burkett

Disney should combine Small World with Pirates of the Carribean, really shake things up.

Ricardo Luciano

A ride you must get in!!! It is a classic one!
