A question about the Small World in Disney World.

Post by Super Aurora »

I haven't been to Disney World in a while so I want ask you this cause I heard rumors about it.

I heard that Disney World reconstructed Small World outside to look like Disneyland's. Is this true?

Is there pictures or something So I can see what it look like?

I was actually just there last weekend and happened to take some pictures at "It's A Small World". Now, I don't know what the one at DisneyLand looks like, because I haven't been there in 11 years, but here are some pictures from the one at Disney World

It was given a facelift a few years back (2003, I think?) and is more reminiscent of Disneyland's Small World now. Still, it doesn't really compare to the DL exterior. The building itself in WDW is still the tent-like building that matches the other Fantasyland attractions, but the covered queuing area, which is fully visible from Fantasyland, is what you see in the pictures that Simba3 posted above.

Damn. I wish they did the exterior face lift instead. It's not just Small World but all of em suffer the generic tents like structure in Fantasy land.

Thanks you two for clearing that up. Just not the same either

They never want to spend any money on the Magic Kingdom in Florida. They're always way too busy building some other fool hotel or something more important. That's why the Magic Kingdom is like going back in time; it never changes that much.
