F.Y.I.



I just read this article on the Los Angeles Times website. I thought it was of interset to those of us with Disneyland passes or plans to visit the park soon.


DISNEYLAND'S SMALL WORLD SET FOR BIG REHAB
"This holiday weekend marks your last chance to ride It’s a Small World at Disneyland before the beloved boat ride undergoes a major overhaul.

The classic attraction goes down for a 10-month rehab starting Jan. 22, 2008, to replace the original flume and fleet of boats used at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, where the ride debuted.

Disney Imagineers are still trying to decide what — if any — changes and additions to make to the characters and scenes in the 14-minute show. The new Small World ride at Hong Kong Disneyland adds 30 Disney characters to the attraction (including Mulan, Peter Pan and Aladdin).

The Anaheim ride’s long hibernation is scheduled to end Nov. 28, 2008, according to Disney officials.

The Mouse still insists the Small World overhaul has absolutely nothing to do with the ever-increasing waistlines of Americans."

I hate when they "update" things! I want small world to stay the same - I love the retro feel and also that it does not have any Disney characters. Unfortunately I don't have a pass - so I won't get to go for a final ride. My Disney pass days ended when my kids started going to school five days a week. Which is one of the reasons I got "removed" from Kasey's call list. I know she reserves her SoCal time for Disneyland and family. Anyway, enjoy the Disney pass days while you can girls - it will all end once your kids hit first grade!
