IASW is good, but only, as someone else mentioned, in moderation. I go to DLR about three times a year at least... and will do IASW once every two years or so. That usually works. Unless, of course, I'm with a Disneyland newbie, in which case you have to go on IASW for their sake... it's too big a part of the park's history and charm to skip!
See as bad as people say it is, a lot of people like it. So when you say, "IASW sucks!" think again

Small World
Okay, it may be a little dated, and the song is definitely repetitive, but it's a sweet little ride and a great place to rest after standing in long lines as it is a nice long ride.

Ditto. Mary Blair is great, and I miss that mural. Comparing the Disneyland facade with the WDW version is quite a let down by comparison.zenmondo wrote:I do not think that I have ever vistied Disneyland without riding Its A Small World. I don't dread, and I like it greatly.
Call me weird, but I really like the whole look of the thing. Its a shame they covered up the Mary Blair Murals in Tomorrowland. I especially like the sun at the end. Reminds me of old coffeeshop decor from my childhood.
No, no... He's got a point.
For myself, I love IASW, for a few reasons. I don't expect anybody to care what my reasons are, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
First, much to everyone's surprise at the time, it was one of Walt's favorite songs. Not his favorite (that was "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins) but definitely one of his favorites. It was also one of the last attractions to receive his personal approval, which makes it special in my opinion. I am all for keeping the Walt Disney in "Walt Disney's Disneyland."
Second, IASW Holiday is an absolute blast!
And third, the tune makes me feel young. Simple as that.

I agree with you! I think I will just follow you around the forums all day and repy with Ditto!AKLRULZ wrote:A classic, pure nostalgia!
My mom worked for Bank of America for 40+ years and they were the original sponsors of that ride, we went on it as a family religiously, so it will remain one of my fav's, it has sentimental value.
"A Very Merry Un-Birthday To You!"
Merry Christmas
I love the Holidays... Haunted Mansion all done up with "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "It's a Small World Holiday"
