It’s the holiday version of our beloved “it’s a small world” slow boat cruise attraction at Disneyland.
And you definitely shouldn’t miss it if you’re in the park when it’s running!
While both Disneyland and Walt Disney World have “it’s a small world” attractions, only Disneyland hosted the holiday overlay.
Let’s see what all the magic is about.
