It's a small world, closed?

Whoa! I just found out that It's a small world is going to be closed when we are there.
Am I the only one that didn't know about this yet ??
We are going with a family of first timers! Imagine my disappointment that I can't get them on this ride!

Buzz! How horrible for you that you won't be able to share with them the smiling evil dolls!

Almost two weeks ago, Disney announced that they moved up the closing for IASW. There was a thread about it early last week.

If you REALLY want to take them on a lame Disney classic, take them on the Jungle Cruise.

Although, I am sorry that your newcomers will not be able to see It's a Small World, I cannot wait till the new updated version is opened. I remember making the comment to my mom last time we were there, its amazing what one can do with cardboard and glitter.

I just hope that Disney is more creative this time around rather than simply allowing a 4th grade class loose inside a building with styrofoam balls, paper mache, constuction paper and glue.

Re: It's a small world, closed?

Well, *I* like the ride. I can't say it's the most exciting thing in the world, but I go on it happily every time I'm there. The Celopatra doll is my favorite, and I was very upset when they took her away to re-do her (she was one of the oldest ones there, doll-generation-wise ... that probably made me like her more too). AND when they put her back, they don't have as much light on her as they used to so you can hardly see her. :( So I'm very grumpy over that!!!

As for the cardboard and glitter, I always find the set really weird, but rather intentionally weird. If it wasn't so abstract, if it was like a miniture Epcot, it just wouldn't be the same. (Then the dolls would look to technologically unadvanced.)

But, yeah, there is a kind of *something* feeling about it that it needs some kind of refurb in the entrance way. But I want the rides to stay the way Walt made them, d*mn it! :)

I've always liked the duck-billed platypuses (platypusae?)
