Originally, the Magic Kingdom incarnation of the attraction did not have the iconic Glockenspiel where the facade inside was located indoors albeit without the clock tower in it after the Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971. Here, the Glockenspiel clock tower was constructed in the Fantasyland section of the park, making it the attraction's icon in the park.ĭue to the success of the attraction, the 'It's a Small World' attraction was later constructed in Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland because of how popular the attraction is, still with the clock tower scene. After they return to the clock's interiors, Glockenspiel would close the parade door and opens his central doors to reveal the time (with the hour represented by large number blocks and the quarter hour by small blocks) as jesters would ring the big bells (for the hour) and small bells (for the quarter hour) and then close the doors one last time and remain a normal clock tower for another fifteen minutes.Īfter the 'It's a Small World' attraction closed in 1965, the attraction moved to Disneyland in 1966 alongside the other two attractions, Great Moments with Mr. They parade for the riders to the instrumental toy soldier version of the ride's titular theme song. He is a wacky cuckoo clock with a smiling face (which resembles circle-shape with glasses on in all versions of the ride except the Disneyland Paris version, which is a sun on one half and a moon on the other) rocking to the ticking sound he makes.Įvery fifteen minutes, he opens his base doors and a squad of dolls dressed like they are from around the world come out.
