Disneyland’s “it’s a small world” will be closing earlier than the rest of the park for one day so crews can get a head start on the holiday overlay.
“it’s a small world” Holiday

Every year, “it’s a small world” transforms for the holiday season. This year, the attraction overlay will take place from November 14, 2025 through January 7, 2026.
Set sail along a wondrous wintry waterway transformed with whimsical décor. Behold jubilant regional adornments all along your world tour of good cheer. Listen as the costumed chorus of children sings the classic “It’s a Small World (After All)” song and traditional holiday tunes.
In order for the attraction to become “it’s a small world” Holiday, crews must add thousands of lights to the exterior façade and add several elements to the ride itself. Therefore, the ride will close early tonight, October 29, so crews can begin work.
The attraction will close at 9:00 PM, while the rest of the park will close at 10:00 PM.
