When it comes to classic Disney music, it’s hard not to think of the iconic tune from the beloved attraction, “it’s a small world.” This fan-favorite experience has captivated audiences for decades, with its catchy melody first introduced at the New York World’s Fair in 1964 and later at...

THIS is plussing it!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Is this a verse he wrote after the attraction opened or before but it didn’t make the original cut?

Is this a verse he wrote after the attraction opened or before but it didn’t make the original cut?

This is the verse he wrote post-retirement.

i'm not crying you're crying.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Oh I’m so glad they decided to include it in MK also I hope it’ll eventually end up in every IASW.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I really hate this...

Because it demonstrates the company is 100% capable of plussing attractions over time in a way that truly honors the spirit and history of the attraction. This is a wonderful nod and gesture.

 

[mf1972]

it’s a welcomed addition

 

[JohnD]

Interesting timing on the announcement. "Don't look over there where there's no longer a riverboat. Look here! IASW is getting Sherman's last verse!"

Now if only we’d get the refurb and character dolls literally every other small world has gotten

A funny thought, when I recall the history and outrage when Disneyland first announced adding the characters. I felt they were sorely missed when I rode MK’s version.

 

[BrianLo]

I was hopeful they’d do this, only a positive with this one.

 

[HMF]

Now if only we’d get the refurb and character dolls literally every other small world has gotten

Please God No!

 

[Tom P.]

"Mother earth"? Ugh.. The 1970's called and wants its lyrics back.

 

[CoastalElite64]

Beautiful

 

[Scuttle]

This is their attempt to throw the real fans a bone because of TSI, ROA, and the Liberty Belle. No question in my mind this is what Vahle came up with to try to take heat off himself.

I was hopeful they’d do this, only a positive with this one.

I don’t think that is a possibility in these parts.

 

[Tom Morrow]

Good news, everyone! Olaf will be singing this final verse!

 

[Rhinocerous]

Good news, everyone! Olaf will be singing this final verse!

They will probably have AI do it, using the original recordings as a reference.

EDIT: That way it matches without having to re-record everything.

I think the most is what everyone will be concerned about is will the soundtrack remain the same or will it be different? Just remember when they did the Disneyland Paris soundtrack at Disneyland for nine years that’s my biggest in interest is will the soundtrack be the same.
