A few months after reopening with great fanfare, Disneyland Paris' flagship attraction “It's a small world” is once again the subject of conversation after the simply overwhelming behavior of visitors shocked social networks.
It's a small world, after all
No, no, don't thank us for putting this persistent tune in your head, equally iconic to some, unbearable to others.
It's a Small World, one of the most iconic attractions in Disney theme parks that kids love as much as parents hate. Overall it's pretty cheesy, but we still come by regularly to see if a little doll or a new country is represented. And the strength of the attraction lies in the fact that we have the impression of discovering a new character every time. Well, obviously not…
Also, did you know that? It is a small world that is present in all Disney parks, from Japan to France to Hong Kong to the USA, with the exception of one park: Shanghai. And for the record: Original This attraction was designed by Walt Disney to appear in the UNICEF Pavilion during the 1964 New York World's Fair. Such was its success that the attraction was later moved to the original Anaheim park and opened on May 28, 1966.
Several dozen countries are represented with more than 280 dolls and hundreds of diverse and varied toys and accessories that pay tribute to the diverse cultures of our planet. Fun fact: This music you can't get out of your head will be sung in no less than 9 different languages throughout your trip (French, English, German, Italian, Danish, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Hebrew).
No doubt upset by the song “It's a small world,” a mother in the attraction goes above and beyond
In general, things are rather quiet during the ten minutes that the “it's a small world” attraction lasts. A little idyllic visit among the dolls, a popular place in summer when it's hot to enjoy the calm of the water and sit still for a while. Breakdowns and stops are rare on this attraction, although there can sometimes be a traffic jam at the end of the route, which in itself is nothing too dramatic. And we are a long way from the countless closures of Big Thunder Mountain, for example. But what could have happened to cause the attraction to make the rounds on social media on January 23rd?!
As you can see in the video broadcast during the event on TikTok, which has already been viewed more than 15 million times at the time of writing, a mother, visibly at the end of her tether and despite calls for calm (in French and English) One of the operators simply decided to leave the attraction by rolling up his trouser legs, entering the water, taking his children with him and escaping through the countryside in front of the stunned eyes of other visitors.
Aside from the absolutely shitty side of the operation, we have to think about the risks this woman took for herself, but also and especially for her children and others. Between the underwater rails, the animatronics, the decorative elements, the danger of falling into the water, etc. etc. But what could have been going through this person's mind to move? So crazy?!
