Since the holiday season ended, it’s a small world has been closed and is being refurbished. Originally, the attraction was set to reopen on April 26th. Now, however, the attraction’s opening date is May 9th. This date is two weeks later than it was previously set to reopen.
When it’s a small world reopens, the attraction will be updated with new characters in it. Miguel and his trusted alebrije, Dante, will both be joining the other children in song when it’s a small world reopens. The duo will be silhouetted by a stunning marigold bridge as guests sail by. Concept art for what this looks like was shared by Disney:
This won’t be the only change for it’s a small world this year. On July 17th, a third verse to the legendary song will be added to the attraction. Written by Richard Sherman before his death, these lyrics were first revealed during Jolly Holiday: A Musical Celebration of Richard M. Sherman at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
Here is a look at it’s a small world as it was seen before being transformed to it’s a small world Holiday in 2024.
