Icon5 It's a Small World

I hear that It's a Small World is closing from May 2004 through March of 2005 for rehab. Has anyone else heard this ? It will make my DD sad as it's one of her favorite rides.

Re: It's a Small World

It was in my Allearsnet.com newsletter that I got yesterday that the close date has been moved up to May 2. Here's the quote:

Last week we announced the upcoming closing of It's a Small World for a rehab of the characters and sound, but now we have specific dates: May 2, 2004 through March 18, 2005.
Sorry DCers, looks like the dolls are going down sooner that expected!

Re: It's a Small World

why so long for disney to put "it's a small world" through rehab? are they adding new additions to it or what? what exactly are they doing that will have this ride closed for so long?

Re: It's a Small World

They were probably waiting for a real problem to arise, such as the roof, to put It's a Small World through an extensive rehab. It may sound bad, but there is no need to fix something if it's not broken.

Re: It's a Small World

That's probably why they haven't put Peter Pan through an extensive rehab. and that ride needs it bad. You could see the paint peeling and chipping on some of the characters, especially poor wendy. Right on her nose when she was on the gangplank and you fly right past her. It was so obvious when we were there in Oct. 2003. it really made me sad.

Re: It's a Small World

We were aware of Small World being closed when we were down at DW a week ago, but I was still disappointed. It's feels as though my trip was not complete without Small World.
But, as we all know, everything one time or another needs a "little makeover"!!! JOANN
