“it’s a small world” is one of the most well-known attractions at the Disney Parks, from the child-like dolls that represent nations and cultures around the world to the attraction’s catchy tune that you’ll be humming throughout the day when you visit the Parks.

With the setup of the holiday overlay for “it’s a small world,” Disney Parks has announced several instances of hidden “25s” located throughout the attraction at Disneyland to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the holiday overlay of this attraction, which began in 1997.
