RobHOST
So here's what D23 says about these two fellas.
RobHOST
Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, the Academy Award winning composers of the music from It's a Small World, The Enchanted Tiki Room, Mary Poppins, as well as many other unforgettable classics, received the highest honor that Disneyland Resorts bestows a tribute window on Main Street, USA.
RobHOST
Among the Shermans, more than 150 Disney songs are such familiar Disney theme park compositions as the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room, There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, which is Marie's favorite ride, and It's a Small World, Marie's favorite ride to get stuck on, one of the most translated and performed songs on earth.
RobHOST
All three are still performed in their attractions at Disney theme parks around the world, making the music as contemporary today as when it was composed.
RobHOST
Richard Sherman told D23 on March 10th.
RobHOST
An indelible...
RobHOST
Mark on the Walt Disney Company and still resonates in Disney parks around the world, says Tom Staggs, the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman.
RobHOST
Their songs, particularly It's a Small World and The Score of Mary Poppins, are not just touchstones of Disney, but of America culture as a whole.
Todd James PierceHOST
Remember, dreams come true.
Todd James PierceHOST
This time with projections for Rivers of America and It's a Small World.
Todd James PierceHOST
And also, the parade Magic Happens is returning next year.
Todd James PierceHOST
For those in Florida, this may not seem like much of an announcement, as for years the Magic Kingdom regularly has had a daytime parade.
MarkGUEST
Yeah.
BethHOST
Okay, well, we could consider this sort of an annex to, it's a small world, right? We're learning about people all over the world and how they live.
BethHOST
So wholesome, right?
MarkGUEST
Yes, yes.
40 MINS LATER
MarkGUEST
Extra magic time mornings do popular attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain, Hyperspace Mountain, Crush's Coaster, and so on, followed by attractions that tend to have overall lower queue times, such as Phantom Manor and Pirates.
MarkGUEST
Noon to late afternoon, worst window for queuing, so less heavy on attractions.
MarkGUEST
Therefore, we plan on using lunch as a welcome break and escape from the worst crowds, followed by low queue attractions such as It's a Small World and some of the walkthrough attractions.
MarkGUEST
During this window, we will also spend time shopping, see if we can get a spot at one of the shows, trying out cafes and special snacks and cakes, and maybe even visiting the Fleur de Lys bar for some imaginative cocktails with the kids.

So now we decide, all right, let's leave Fantasyland and start making our way out.
JakeHOST
And this is where we jumped on It's a Small World.
JakeHOST
And we actually did our very first Instagram live.
JakeHOST
We did.
JakeHOST
That was so cool.
JakeHOST
But yeah, that was a nice fun ride that we knew we would be sitting on for a while.
JakeHOST
So we thought, hey, this is a great chance to check in with everybody and take them on It's a Small World.
JakeHOST
Because the Disneyland It's a Small World is special.
Connie Swanson LaneGUEST
'Cause I realize there's some people out there, it's not their thing.
Connie Swanson LaneGUEST
That's the first one I go to, and I try to make the last one Small World-
Theresa UrbanHOST
Oh

Connie Swanson LaneGUEST
Now, we talked about opening Small World.
Theresa UrbanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Shannon AlbertHOST
And then headed over to Pinocchio Village House where they have exclusive snacks throughout the party.
Shannon AlbertHOST
But went there and got a table overlooking It's a Small World and had the pumpkin ravioli, which was delicious, as well as the Cruella cookie.
Shannon AlbertHOST
And I thought it was great.
Shannon AlbertHOST
And now you're hearing announcements at Magic Kingdom.
Shannon AlbertHOST
So good.
Shannon AlbertHOST
Love them.
Shannon AlbertHOST
The having a view of It's a Small World was great.
Shannon AlbertHOST
And then headed to Haunted Mansion.
CoreyHOST
What does it for me is you not only get Tinkerbell flying, but you get Baymax and the Blue Fairy, and that really sticks out to me.
CoreyHOST
I do like that you get multiple spots that you can watch the projections with the fireworks, not just at the castle, but you can also do it at Small World.
SamHOST
Yes.
SamHOST
My super secret take is I will only watch Disneyland fireworks at Small World.
SamHOST
I will never watch them at the castle anymore.
AmberHOST
Really?
SamHOST
It's so...
SamHOST
You can s- see everything on Small World perfectly.
Bob RogersGUEST
We had not been to the moon yet.
Bob RogersGUEST
So when you try to figure out what made all of the dolls in It's a Small World sing in synchronization, you can't say computers because we didn't have any.
Bob RogersGUEST
What made all the pirates sing in sync? Well, as a magician in the magic shop, I had access to backstage areas.
Bob RogersGUEST
So one day I went around behind Pirates of the Caribbean, found a half-open door with a little fan, a cooling fan, trying to cool whoever was inside.
Bob RogersGUEST
The people who work in it must be interesting.
Bob RogersGUEST
In those days, there were horses pulling the horse cars up and down Main Street.
Bob RogersGUEST
The horse barn was out behind It's a Small World.
Bob RogersGUEST
How did the horses get from Main Street through Fantasyland to the horse barn without leaving evidence of their passage in Fantasyland? How did that happen? How many hamburger buns are they going to need next Wednesday? Who figures that out? How do they figure that out? Oh, good one.
