Disneyland guests have only a few weeks left to experience the classic version of “it’s a small world” before its annual festive transformation begins. The iconic Fantasyland attraction will temporarily close starting October 30 to allow Imagineering and entertainment teams to install holiday decorations celebrating multicultural traditions worldwide.
