Thanks for sharing this with us!

Dear Santa:
I know what I want for Christmas this year…..Thanks Disney.
Elizabeth on November 6th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I teared up too! Beautiful. Send that ship my way, won’t you?
Melissa on November 6th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Absolutely loved it! The tears are welled up in my eyes for sure after watching that.
Erin from KY on November 6th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Gave me goose bumps and brought a tear to my eye. So meaningful. Nice job.
Philip on November 6th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
That commercial is very sweet and beautiful indeed.
It would be very nice if WDW could offer the It’s a Small World Holiday overlay. All the other Disney parks around the world already offer it, so WDW should too.
Allison from TX on November 6th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Ok…that just gave me chills! Great commercial!
Daniel on November 6th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
small world is my grandfather’s favorite ride (which he is not a fan of rides, but he talks about this one) so it already is one I think of. Gotta say that I love the new video.
Mary from MN on November 6th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
I think this is one of the only times that It’s a Small World has not gotten on my nerves.
Someone posted that CMs should watch this video…I think ANYONE contemplating going to DL or WDW should be watching this video.
That is the epitome of MAGIC. And everyone, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what their life is like right now, this moment…EVERYONE needs this magic!
Thank you for seriously making my day.
Heather from IL on November 6th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
This is magic! Pure Disney magic!
Bernadette from MA on November 6th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
that was amazing. It does bring tears to my eyes. So glad Im going in December. Kudos to the Disney people. Loved it.
Michelle from SC on November 6th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Oh how I love this commercial! I can feel myself right on Main Street USA! Thank you, Disney World!! I love you!!!
Katy on November 6th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I had to watch this in segments of about 8-10 seconds to avoid bursting into tears over this. But then again, I’ve been known to cry watching the Wal-Mart carol of the bells commercial….
I especially liked the “Joy to the Small World” idea.
Robert on November 6th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Absolutely AWESOME!
Nancy from NM on November 7th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Again, Disney knows just the right combination to give you chills and smile and remember your own great times. Lovely.
Douglas from MD on November 7th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Our family love’s the video! Wish we could post it on facebook.
Kim on November 7th, 2009 at 9:42 am
OMG!!!! Chills and tears! This is why I love Disney so much. Nothing else creates such a warm and fuzzy emotion.
Rachel from Merseyside on November 7th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Oh that was fantastic, brought tears and goose bumps for me! Great stuff Disney!

amy from MO on November 7th, 2009 at 10:10 am
I was trying to decide when to go to WDW next year. After this video I’ve decided! Great video, Disney! You’re the best!
Sara from MN on November 7th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Beautiful! Now I can’t wait for our December trip! (Well, I was getting excited before but NOW…)
Dennis from VA on November 7th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Great video!!!
Roger from CA on November 7th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
What an absolutely amazing and simple message!! I LOVED it!! Regardless of what anyone says, “it’s a small world,” both classic and holiday, is my favorite attraction!! Thank you so much Disney Parks!!
Krista on November 7th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
It says Disney from the very beginning! It’s beautiful, magical and absolutely wonderful! It will be one of the very few commercials I wont mute and I will look forward to seeing it each time it comes on and probably never get enough of it.
rebecca on November 7th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Makes me wish I was there now and not have to wait until next December when my husband and I are going for our wedding anniversary after our 4 day Disney Cruise.
Rhonda from IL on November 7th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Pure Genius. This is just beautiful!!!
Barbara on November 7th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Beautiful!
Scott from CA on November 7th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
I really don’t understand where all the kids are coming from. Is this a real boat?…. why does it fly and not go on the water? Disney has missed the “boat” on this one….
cathy from PA on November 7th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
It is wonderful and yes I had tears too!
Ann on November 7th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
A tear??? I was sitting here bawling with tears streaming down my face and my nose runnning.This is one of their best. Looking forward to my trip in January, sorry to say will miss out on the holiday decor. But still magical. This trip is just for DH and myself for our 30th. I made him come watch this with me.
Disney “Perfect, absolutly perfect.
Shelley on November 7th, 2009 at 6:13 pm

Alison from KY on November 7th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
It is beautiful!!! Disney World commercials are always the best!
Karen from MA on November 7th, 2009 at 7:35 pm

Kimberly from PA on November 7th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
WDW inspires us to dream and brings families, guests and Cast Members together every day of the year. A wonderful holiday message.
Todd from TX on November 8th, 2009 at 12:58 am
GREAT video. I absolutely loved it. One of the best Disney commercials I think I’ve ever seen. Way to go!
Julian on November 8th, 2009 at 3:28 am
Truly Magical!!! Gave me “goose bumps” just watching it!
Mary on November 8th, 2009 at 4:28 am
That is one of the most magical videos I’ve ever seen & only Disney could do it. TYSM for the joy.
David from Bedfordshire on November 8th, 2009 at 6:44 am
How to make a grown man cry! It’s a Small World had a profound impact on me in my childhood. I grew up to study international relations and work as a children services strategist. So this is a great add. And having been born in San Francsico, lived in London and Paris, worked in Hong Kong, Honeymooned in WDW and grew up at Disneyland. Well, this just warms the cockles. Thanks for showing what Disney can still do.
robert on November 8th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
very nice video… if a tear doesnt come close to appearing on your face while watching that, then you must be sleeping!!!
Linda from PA on November 8th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
WOW!! What an awesome video for the holidays. It brought tears to my eyes (happy tears, of course). Thanks for starting my holiday season off with a big smile. =:)
Pat on November 9th, 2009 at 3:41 am
Thanks goodness I have a trip planned for this December; otherwise, I would be heart-sick right now. Wonderful commercial! Pure Disney, through and through. Applause to the creatives who dreamed this on up! And yes, I have tears in my eyes, too.
Janet from MI on November 9th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes, too. I’d love to share it on Facebook–could you make a way to do that?
Bob from NC on November 9th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Scott from CA – I believe the boat in the ad is representative of the flying Jolly Roger from Peter Pan after Tink dusts it with pixie dust to get the Darling children back home. The boat is picking up children all over the “small world” to celebrate the holidays together @ WDW/DL. ºOº
Janet from MI – I’m not sure if this video is on it yet, but the Disney Parks Channel on YouTube has many great videos that you can share!
Abby from CA on November 9th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
This has become my favorite Disney Holidays ad! It gave me chills and that cozy, Christmassy feeling! Well done!
kerri from NJ on November 9th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
LOVE IT!!
Beautiful commercial!
Thank you as it allows you to be even more excited about our next trip.
Mary Ann from GA on November 9th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
It really reminds me of the “Polar Express” with all the children welcoming each other. Personally, I’m not getting the Holiday aspect of it until the end.
amy on November 9th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Beautiful, very sweet and magical:)
