===Creation in Walt Disney World===
Due to the immense popularity of the attraction, "it's a small world", Disney decided to construct a version of the attraction for the (yet unopened) Magic Kingdom. In fact, the attraction was one of the many Disneyland attractions that were copied for inclusion Walt Disney World. Although the two versions of the attraction are very similar and feature nearly identical plots, there are some differences between them. Perhaps most noticeably, the exterior facade in Walt Disney World is much simpler in its design. While not apart of the attractions exterior, in 2005 a version of the elaborate and iconic Disneyland facade was added to the loading area of the Walt Disney World version <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/76/Walt-Disney-World/Magic-Kingdom/Fantasyland/its-a-small-world </ref>. The dancing clock can also be found in the loading area, although dolls do not come out and dance on the quarter hour. The "Goodbye Room" in the Disney World version of "it’s a small world" is also unique. In Disneyland, the room holds postcards and goodbye phrases from around the world <ref> https://www.flickr.com/photos/harshlight/4917555549 </reref>. In the Magic Kingdom however, parting phrases are painted onto large flowers, leading guests to the exit <ref> http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sQ-1qZKXmyU/VS40SpF9jQI/AAAAAAAAQhg/M9hGQW9X3t8/s1600/IASW-Sign_Focusedonthemagic.jpg </ref>.
Although "it's a small world" has not changed much since it opened, the ride did go under a significant renovation from May 2004 until March 2005. The attraction received a new state-of-the-art sound system, new paint, and new lighting <ref name= "Florida"> http://www.florida-project.com/walt-disney-world-photos/magic-kingdom/fantasyland/its-a-small-world </ref>. The loading queue was also changed, giving guests more cover and protection from the elements. To do this, the line that was previously the exit line became the entrance line and vice-versa <ref name= "Florida"/>. As previously mentioned, at this time the Disneyland facade was added to the Walt Disney World version's loading area <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/76/Walt-Disney-World/Magic-Kingdom/Fantasyland/its-a-small-world </ref>.
