Three weeks before Holidays at the Disneyland Resort officially kicked off, we continuously documented the talented elves of Disneyland Resort Entertainment as they decked the walls of “it’s a small world” Holiday.
Here’s some fun facts about what it took to give “it’s a small world” Holiday its festive look:
- Eleven Technical Services cast members worked five nights a week for eight weeks to do decorate the attraction’s façade, topiaries, trees and more.
- The attraction’s façade has 50,000 C7 size lights in seven different colors: red, blue, green, amber, fuchsia, purple, and white. This adds up to almost five miles of light strings on the façade.
- There are an additional 10,000 C7 lights on the “it’s a small world” Toy Shoppe and the three towers along the “it’s a small world” Mall.
- The same crane that installs the Disneyland park Christmas tree is used to install the Santa hat on the clock.

Thanks Shannon. The dates I plan for next year are perfect and I can’t wait to see all the lights, sights and sounds of Christmas time. Like you, I know I will take lots of photps as I always do when I visit. A very Merry Christmas to all from an huge Aussie fan.
Christine, I don’t know about next year, but this year “it’s a small world” re-opened with the holiday theme on Friday, November 6th. My husband and I were lucky enough to be there for our first ever visit to Disneyland, and the day the ride re-opened was our last day in the parks. It truly is stunning! I took SO many pictures! Just beautiful. I’m so glad we were able to see it with the holiday overlay. Hope you get to see it next year! Happy Holidays! 🙂
Shannon, I loved watching this quick video as it shows Christmas coming to life at”It’s A Small World”. I’m going to be visiting next year, from Australia, and I can’t wait. When do the Christmas celebrations begin and when is “It’s A Small World” transformed for Christmas? I would love to know so I make sure I am there for such a wonderful celebration. Thanks.
