It's A Small World

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.
