ITS A SMALL WORLD

It's a world of laughter, A world of tears. It's a world of hopes And a world of fears There's so much that we share, That it's time we're aware, It's a small world after all. There is just one moon And one golden sun; And a smile means Friendship to everyone. Though the mountains divide, And the oceans are wide, It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all! It's a small, small world!

History: It's A Small World traces its origins to the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. The attraction was built for the Pepsi-Cola Company's pavilion by WED Enterprises (which later became Walt Disney Imagineering), as a salute to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Artist and Imagineer Mary Blair, famous for her work on many Disney films and attractions, assisted with the design. Song writing brothers Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman wrote the famous theme song. With some of Disney's best creative minds at work, the attraction was destined to become a hit. The fair closed in 1965, and the attraction was moved to

Disneyland, where it continues to entertain today. When Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom opened in October, 1971, it was given its own version.
