It's a Small World Re-opens Today at Disneyland

You know It's a small world wasn't born at Disneyland, it was created for the 1964/65 worlds fair in New York. It was sponsored and lived in the Pepsi pavilion. After the fair was over it was transferred to Disneyland and installed. It's original name was not even what it is now, It was originally "Children of the World". When the Sherman brothers wrote the famous tune "It's a small World" Walt quickly changed to the new name. The ride was one of the first indoor boat rides and feature boats that run along a canal into a show building that is now located somewhere between the Cartoon Spin and the Disneyland steam train roundhouse. So once again they utilized show buildings that were outside the berm of Disneyland. This technology allowed much more room for attractions at the Park. There are 4 more "Small Worlds" around the world. The following are a few clips that show the ride in it's original and planning states are are very interesting.
