It would be nice to hear that It's A Small World was simply receiving a facelift and a new coat of paint, as it is an old ride, but it's probably the only thing left at Disney World that my father can remember from his childhood in exactly the same way that I remember it from mine. Sure the song's annoying, but so are all the Christmas carols that pop up on the radio everywhere else every winter season, but we can appreciate those for their traditional value and what they meant to us when we were children, if nothing else. It's A Small World is the same type of thing. The bit about including new Disney characters is nothing short of appalling. Walt didn't see fit to throw Mickey in there, though he easily could've, so why profane the ride with the modern cash cows? It's sad.
