This one is for my mom. It's A Small World is her favorite ride. Before we left she said "If you ride It's A Small World, think of me! It's my favorite." And it turned out to be a big hit with the kids. I haven't been to Disney since I was 10 or so. This is one of the rides that I remember very clearly. Walking up to the boats, I had clear memories of my brothers and I waiting in line as kids, nothing seemed to have changed, the ramps leading up to the boats, the decorations on the wall...it was really weird, kind of like a trip back in time.
This ride is long, about 10 minutes and it "travels" to all parts of the world. However, the only memory I have of being inside the ride as a young child are these two little dutch kids with their wooden shoes clicking back and forth. That memory is probably the strongest I ever retained from Disney. And as I turned the corner, I was happily surprised to see them still sitting there, 25 years later. They looked a lot smaller, but there they were nonetheless.
Hope you enjoyed it Mom.
