Hello Michael! Thank you for bringing this great planning question to us here at planDisney!
"it's a small world" and
"it's a small world" Holiday in Disneyland Park are some of our favorite attractions! You just can't beat that classic boat ride, and it is the perfect attraction to enjoy in the afternoon when you need a break off of your feet.
In previous years, it looks like it took about 2 weeks to remove the holiday overlay and have it reopen as the classic version of the attraction. We do not have the exact date yet, but I would keep your eye on the
hours & events calendar as January approaches to see when the attraction will open back up. I'm crossing my fingers that the attraction is back and up in running in time for your trip!
We love to visit the Disneyland Resort during the winter months. The weather is pleasant, and it always gave us something to look forward to after the Holiday season! It definitely can get chilly in the mornings and evenings, so I highly recommend bringing layers to wear.
I hope this information is helpful for your trip Michael, and that you're experiencing "The Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed" very soon! If we can help with any other questions,
please come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
