Changes

Following the conclusion of the World's Fair in 1965, Disney decided to move "it's a small world" to Disneyland. Although the scenes were transported from New York and placed in the same order, the attraction that opened in Disneyland was very different than the one that had been at the fair. Since the show building that was built for the attraction was one third larger than its predecessor, when the show was relocated there was an increase in the space between the various attraction scenes. Because of this, WED Engineers were able to add new scenes to fill in the empty spaces <ref> http://davelandweb.com/smallworld/ </ref>. Rolly Crump designed scenes depicting the North Pole and the Pacific Islands, to fill in some of the unused space. Another difference between the attractions is was the fact that the Europe scene was also about 1/3 larger in the Disneyland version of the attraction then it had been in New York <ref name= "mouseplanet"/>.

The 120-foot high Tower of the Four Winds (which drew guests into the Pepsi Pavilion at the World's Fair) was not moved to California with the rest of the attraction. It would have cost Disney an estimated $80,000 <ref name= "mouseplanet"/> to ship to California, so the tower was simply demolished <ref> http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-disney-tower-retrospective-20151117-story.html </ref>. The exterior of the attraction in Disneyland was however once again designed by Crump, who took inspiration from Mary Blair's artistic style <ref> http://blog.wdwinfo.com/2013/03/12/small-world-disneyland/ </ref>. Blair had actually come up with a facade herself, but it was deemed to be too difficult to maintaindue to the number of colors used. Crump's design featured a stylized three dimensional facade, with abstract towers, minarets, and turrets. Several depictions of landmarks can be seen on the facade including, the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Walt Disney himself came up with the idea for the large smiling clock located on the outside of the building <ref> http://blog.wdwinfo.com/2013/03/12/small-world-disneyland/ </ref>. The Disneyland version of the attraction also included various dolls that come out of the clock (and dance to a version of the attractions theme song) when the clock strikes the quarter hour <ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRIs1p9yZqM </ref>. The Disneyland version of it's a small world opened on May 28, 1966 <ref> http://www.ocregister.com/articles/world-610750-disney-sherman.html </ref>.
