A beloved classic is receiving a heartfelt new enhancement. Disney Parks has officially announced the addition of a brand-new finale scene to the iconic “it’s a small world” attraction at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
The new finale will feature the timeless lyrics of the attraction’s signature Sherman Brothers song, presented in multiple languages. For the first time, guests will see the words “It’s a small world after all” displayed in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese as part of a vibrant new display in the attraction’s closing scene.
Here are the lyrics:
Mother earth unites us in heart and mind
And the love we give makes us humankind
Through our vast wondrous land
When we stand hand in hand
It’s a small world after all.
This thoughtful enhancement celebrates the message of unity, peace, and global harmony that “it’s a small world” has shared with millions of guests since its debut at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair. The new visuals aim to further connect guests from all around the world, offering a shared reminder of the song’s enduring theme—that we’re more alike than different.
The updated finale will debut at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland on July 17.
