A new collection of “it’s a small world” merchandise sailed into Disneyland Resort this week.
We found the apparel, a game, and housewares at World of Disney in Downtown Disney District.
The hoodie is heather gray with Mary Blair-style “it’s a small world” illustrations on the back.
The name of the classic Disney Parks ride is in gold lettering. The images include a goat, a windmill, and various doll characters.
The hoodie zips up and has two front pockets.
“it’s a small world” is also in golden lettering on the left breast.
A patch featuring the ride’s iconic clock face is on the right pocket.
The Spirit Jersey is light blue. “it’s a small world” is in pop-out gold lettering on the back of the shoulders.
Characters, flowers, and stars are pictured around the ride’s name.
On the front of the jersey, the Disneyland “D” is in gold on the chest.
“EST. 1955” is under the “D.” Disneyland Park opened in 1955. “it’s a small world” premiered at the 1964 New York World’s Fair then moved to Disneyland in 1966.
A similar image as that on the back of the hoodie is printed on the bottom half of the front of the jersey. It has a white river instead of blue and one less doll (she’s on the back of the jersey instead).
The design is in a bright colorway of white, blue, gold, red, and pink.
The socks are black. They are covered in the goodbye signs from the end of “it’s a small world,” as well as small flowers.
The signs each say goodbye in a different language, like “aloha,” “arrivederci,” and “ciao.”
Each sign is also a different design. The “aloha” one resembles a sun and the “sayonara” sign is a heart-shaped flower.
This new game inspired by “it’s a small world” allows guests to “create colorful abstract structures” with cards.
The cards feature “it’s a small world” designs and fit together thanks to notches on their edges. There are golden pieces for rooftops and some flat dolls.
The box is black with “it’s a small world” images around the edge.
Examples of different structures are pictured on the front and back of the box. The game includes 124 building cards, six topper pointed cards, and four topper round cards.
This stoneware mug is painted black with a gold handle. “it’s a small world” is in matching gold on one side.
The rest of the mug features the ride’s iconic flowers and goodbye signs.
Also pictured is a Japanese doll holding a folding fan and umbrella.
The inside of the mug is white.
The fleece throw is double-sided. One side features the complete artwork from the hoodie and Spirit Jersey, set against a white background.
The other side is an all-over pattern of “it’s a small world” images. The throw is 50 inches by 60 inches or 127 centimeters by 152 centimeters.

Disney Parks Blog launched The Blueprint, a hub of construction updates regarding Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community located in California’s Coachella Valley. With the first update, they shared a look at work on Cotino’s main entrance, Longtable Park, and model homes.
In the video below, the voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan, is joined by Anthony Henry to take a look at construction progress on Cotino, including the community’s entrance.
The Cotino community’s 360-degree views of the San Jacinto mountains inspired the Walt Disney Imagineering team’s creative design. It will feature a mix of natural and man-made elements bringing the spirit of the desert to life.
Disney previously teased Cotino’s various parks, including Longtable Park. The park’s name comes from Walt Disney’s visits to Coachella Valley. He would join his neighbors for a group breakfast and conversation around a friendly long table.
This park will be available exclusively for those who live in Longtable Park residences for adults 55+. It will include the signature long table surrounded by palo verde and olive trees, as well as shaded lawn seating, barbecue grills, firepits, two bocce ball courts, and bird baths.
The first model homes are now under construction. Built by Shea Homes, these model homes will give future residents a glimpse of the Cotino community lifestyle with three different options. Some home designs will feature flex and loft spaces while also encouraging indoor-outdoor living with entry courtyards and covered terraces designed to immerse future residents in the beauty of the region.
There are different elevations and floorplans to choose from. More options are coming soon from additional homebuilders.

CommuniCore Hall in EPCOT has reached a new construction milestone — this evening at the park, the flat triangular panels along the building’s exterior were lit.
While visiting the park on the evening of March 27, we noticed that some of the flat triangle panels on the front of the building were lit up.
As you can see here, some of the panels on the right wall are lit up in what looks like, from a distance, white light.
We also spotted lighting testing inside CommuniCore Hall, with lighting strips lining the ceiling.
Lights were also on elsewhere in the building, as you can see in this photo.
Further down this same wall, some triangles were lit in very pale shades of pink, green, and blue. It’s possible that the colors become more vibrant at night, or they could simply not be testing at their full capabilities just yet.
Earlier this week, we spotted the side of the building shown here on the right with colorful brackets added. Now we can see those were in preparation for the 3D triangles that are now present, to match the rest of the building. Some of the flat triangles here were also lit up.
On the side of the building that faces CommuniCore Plaza, the triangular panels are brightly lit, with shades of blue, green, and a pale orange visible from a distance. Recently, two automatic sliding glass doors were installed here.
Based on the still visible colored brackets, it’s likely that this side still has a few 3D triangles left to install.
However, not all of the triangular light panels are operating at this time, as none of the panels were lit over by the entrance to the Mickey & Friends meet and greet. The sign for the experience was installed on March 26.
CommuniCore Hall and Plaza will open on June 10, 2024. Check out our video of the triangular light panels in action below:

Today saw the release of the sixth and final issue of Marvel Comics’ adaptation of Lucasfilm’s live-action Disney+ series Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, and below are my thoughts on this climactic installment.

Mint Julep Bar at Disneyland Park has a new snack: Ube Mickey-Shaped Beignets. This seasonal spin on the classic Mickey snack is dusted with ube powdered sugar.
Mint Julep Bar is located in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park, and can be found behind Tiana’s Palace and just a short walk from the land’s station for the Disneyland Railroad.
These are interesting. We like the flavor and the cute pink color. They aren’t overly sweet and remind us of similar Japanese desserts.
Ube is a purple yam native to Southeast Asia. There’s a subtle and light ube aftertaste that pairs nicely with the sweet beignet.
Unfortunately, our pastries were stale, weirdly bloated, and hollow. It seems a different process is used to make the seasonal beignets than the traditional ones.
We wish they had just put the ube powder on a normal Mickey-shaped beignet because that would have likely turned out better.
We were disappointed in the ube Mickey-shaped beignets and had to give them a low rating. We’re not sure if we would get these again.
