Children of all ages enjoy the festive dolls singing and scenes from around the world in the "it's a small world" ride. You might even find yourself humming the iconic "It's a Small World After All" song long after the ride. The journey takes you through different locations around the world on a boat with about a dozen other guests.

The Disneyland version of the ride is different from the original version created for the 1964 World's Fair. Disneyland recently debuted new characters to this classic attraction.

In sunny Mexico, in "it's a small world" at Disneyland, Miguel and his trusted alebrije, Dante, from the Pixar film "Coco," will join the other children in song. Check out full photos HERE.

While some people love this attraction, others do not enjoy the never-ending song. This original song was written by the legendary Sherman Brothers.

At Disneyland, there is also a new verse coming to this attraction starting July 17, 2025. Written by Richard Sherman before he passed, "The Last Verse" can be enjoyed aboard "it's a small world" and a short film, "Last Verse", will be featured at Main Street Cinema.

The best part is that this new verse will also be added to the finale scene at Magic Kingdom as well on July 17, 2025.

We even have a sneak peek of the lyrics of this new verse, "Mother earth unites us in heart and mind, And the love we give makes us humankind, Through our vast wondrous land, When we stand hand in hand, It's a small world after all."

"Last Verse" will be added to the finale scene of "it's a small world" on July 17 at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

We can't wait to hear this beautiful "Last Verse" when it is added to "it's a small world".
