It's a Small World

MajorLightning Lane · Tier 2

An adaptation of the Mary Blair-designed pavilion that originally opened at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The ride is essentially a tour of a stylized globe, with each room representing a different continent: Africa with its drums, Asia with paper lanterns and singing geishas, the Pacific Islands with grass-skirted dancers, the finale with all the children singing together in white. Mary Blair's distinctive geometric art style is everywhere — flat colors, paper-cutout aesthetics, smiling moons and suns. The song is famously inescapable.
