We know, we know, we haven’t even got past Halloween yet, but we can’t help that Disney is already thinking about the holiday season! Of course, we can’t wait to celebrate the season at Disneyland Resort with the holiday parade, fireworks show, special treats, and festive decor. We also can’t wait to see “it’s a small world” adorned with thousands of shimmering lights and whimsical decor.
“it’s a small world” in Disneyland
However, in order to get this iconic attraction ready for the holiday overlay, Disney will need to close it down for a bit. The attraction will be closed starting October 30th, 2025, at Disneyland Park, but it will reopen in time for Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, which kick off on November 14th, 2025.
You can find “it’s a small world” over in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park, and it is an iconic attraction. We love singing along and sailing on “the happiest cruise that ever sailed,” but the holiday overlay is truly spectacular to see. It really takes this attraction up a notch, and we can’t wait to see it again this year.
“it’s a small world” Holiday
The façade of “it’s a small world” is adorned with thousands of shimmering lights, and throughout your journey on the attraction you will spot whimsical decor, enjoy jubilant regional adornments, and hear traditional holiday tunes. You can ride the special holiday overlay beginning November 14th, 2025, until January 7th, 2026.
“it’s a small world” Holiday
You already know we will be at Disneyland on November 14th to check out all of the special holiday offerings, and we can’t wait to share them all with you.
