« "Tear It Down, Leave It Down", Reloaded | Main | Has The Viaduct Collapsed Yet? » February 7, 2009"it's a small world" Is Finally OpenAfter a long refurb and a brief opening for the holidays, Disneyland's "it's a small world" has finally re-opened, including the long-vilified "America" section and the inclusion of Disney characters in their home countries: After a yearlong renovation, it reopens Friday with a new scene that depicts the "Spirit of America," a relocated rain forest and 29 added Disney and Pixar characters inserted in the countries where their stories take place. ... the characters -- which look like children playing dress-up -- show up in the settings of their original stories: Peter Pan and Tinker Bell fly over one tower of the London Bridge, the Pinocchio marionette appears in a puppet show in Italy; Aladdin and Jasmine ride a flying carpet in the Middle East scene. The early reviews are pretty good; the ride seems to have been given a gentle touch and a new lease on life. And the kids seem to be responding well to the "Where's Waldo?" aspect of the ride, searching for their favorite characters in all the various set pieces. Can't wait to ride it, m'self.
