    Gearing up for a late February visit to Disneyland! I just saw on the calendar that the post-Holiday closure for “it’s a small world” extends into early March; does it usually take that long for it to reopen, or has an extended closure been announced?

    Hiya, Diego, and welcome back to planDisney! 

    I’m so glad you stopped by with this question. “it’s a small world” is such an iconic attraction — I just can’t get enough of the song! I completely understand why this is one of your must-dos for your upcoming visit.

    According to the Hours and Events Calendar, “it’s a small world” is currently closed for refurbishment. Cast Members work very hard to keep the magic in our attractions; therefore, refurbishment timelines can vary year to year. An extended closure has not been announced. I would encourage you to check the calendar periodically in case anything changes.

    While you may not be able to sail into “it’s a small world,” you can certainly enjoy the Tapestry of Happiness show that transforms the façade into an animated mosaic. I recently experienced this show during my last visit to Disneyland, and found myself smiling and dancing to the beat of “Celebrate Happy”.

    Bonus Tip: This area can be a great viewing spot for Wondrous Journeys with Fireworks! Be sure to keep an eye on the Disneyland mobile app throughout your visit for the most accurate showtimes.

    Diego, I hope this helps and that you have the most magical time during your upcoming adventure to Disneyland!
