Voltinha na It's a small world...bem bonitinho hehehehIt's a Small World (formatted "it's a small world" by The Walt Disney Company) is an attraction at several Walt Disney theme parks: Disneyland (in California), the Magic Kingdom (in Florida), Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. The ride features a multitude of audio-animatronic figures in the style of children of the world singing the ride's title track (composed by the Sherman Brothers), which has a theme of global peace.CharacteristicsExteriorThe outer façade of the building at Disneyland presents very stylized flat cut-out turrets and towers, minarets and domes, some vaguely reminiscent of world landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Surrounding them are numerous squares, triangles and rectangles. A major feature is a gigantic three-dimensional clock with a round, happy face that swings back and forth. On the quarter-hour, wooden dolls representing different cultures parade out of the clock. After the last dolls exit the clock, a pair of giant doors swings open to reveal two large toy blocks — one block with the hour, and one block with the minutes, written in highly stylized numerals — then a bell tolls indicating the time.The exterior has been slightly redesigned and repainted over the years, first as all-white with gold trim, then in shades of blue colors, then in pink and white with pastel accents. Currently it is all-white with gold trim, as it was in the 1960s. The gardens around the building are decorated with topiary animals.DisneylandThe boats travel through a tunnel into the show building, which is much larger than the façade and is located backstage between the back of Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and the roundhouse for the Disneyland Railroad and Disneyland Monorail System. This portion of the ride features stylized animatronic dolls in national costumes singing the title song in numerous languages. At Disneyland, boats carrying the riders visit the regions of the world in separate rooms: * The Hello Room greets the guests to the attraction, showing different cultural greetings from around the world. * The Scandinavia/North Pole room, with dolls representing Scandinavia, with the song sung in Swedish. * Europe, with the song sung in English with a Cockney accent, and Italian as well as having a yodeler in the section representing Switzerland. * Asia, with the song sung in Japanese. * Africa, with the rhythm of the song marked with drums and then sung in English. * South America, with the song sung in Spanish. * South Seas, with the song sung with an underwater gurgling sound by mermaids for the first section of the room (Disneyland and Disneyland Paris only), and the traditional Polynesian version of the song throughout the rest of the room. * New Guinea, a small, relatively dark room with a rainforest scene and native drummers playing the song rhythmically * The Finale Room, with representatives from all the cultures of the world dressed in white versions of their native costumes and singing in English in unison. A cowboy and American Indian standing together are the only dolls during the ride that represent the United States. The Finale Room was inspired by the final verse of the Christmas hymn, Once In Royal David's City, which says, "When like stars, His children crowned,/All in white, shall wait around."At the other Disney parks, the path of the flume winds around one large room, emphasizing its theme that the world is small and interconnected. The order in which the countries appear and the countries that are represented vary in each version of the ride. * All parks but Hong Kong do not begin with a separate room for the Arctic; the Scandinavian dolls are in the Europe room. * As a rule, the children sing in the language of the location of each Disney theme park. However in Paris, in addition to French, the song is sung in German and English. In Hong Kong, the song is sung in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

The Land Pavilion located in Futureworld at Epcot Center in the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The video was taken while on vacation from 11/25/06 until 12/2/06.INTERESTING FACTSThe Land's entry mosaics are each 134 feet long with 150,000 individually shaped pieces of marble, granite, slate, glass and gold to represent the layers of the Earth that lead to the Great Hall. A husband and wife team created the mosaics. The pavilion encourages you to "think environmentally," right down to sayings printed on the walls near the queue for "Living With the Land" -- for example, "Once Our Natural Splendor Is Destroyed, It Can Never Be Recaptured" (Lyndon Baines Johnson); and "We Have Not Inherited the Earth From Our Forefathers, We Have Borrowed It From Our Children" (Kashmiri Proverb).As you enter the building, look out to the ceiling where 5 balloons hang. The middle one represents Earth. The four surrounding balloons represent the seasons: Yellow for summer, Orange for Fall, Blue for Winter and Green for Spring. Under the Earth balloon are clouds and a lightning bolt....as it rains, the water goes into the fountain below and then recycles through the pavilion.The Environmental Research laboratory at the University of Arizona assisted Imagineering in establishing areas within this pavilion that, but using advanced agricultural methods such as hydroponics, grow vegetables served at its centrally located dining area.The background music outside The Land Pavilion is the original Epcot background music. Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom can fit inside The Land Pavilion.Some of the music you will hear in the pavilion includes: Area Music in Interior "Allegheny Moon" "Blue Moon" "Carolina Moon "Got the Sun" "How High the Moon" Moon Medley "Moon River" "Moonlight Bay" "Moonlight Becomes You" "Moonlight Serenade" "No Moon at All" "Old Devil Moon" "Paper Moon" "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" "Sing in the Sunshine" "Sonny" "Sunny Side of the Street" "Sunrise, Sunset" "Sunshine on My Shoulders" "Wait ?Til the Sun Shines Nellie" "You Are My Sunshine" "You are the Sunshine of My Life"The Land "History"The Land underwent a total renovation from January 2005-May 2005, when the Soarin' attraction opened!Food Rocks closed for good February 2004 to make way for the new Soarin' Attraction! The entire Land Pavillion closed January 2005 for a major rehab -- Soarin' was completed, new look for the Garden Grill and a totally renovated Fast Food Court called Sunshine Seasons!The Land Pavilion was updated in 1994 as part of the first real Epcot renovations. Kitchen Kabaret became Food Rocks and the Symbiosis movie made way for The Circle of Life film. The Land was originally sponsored by Kraft, but is now sponsored by Nestle.interesting facts come from allearsnet.com
