On our second day at HK Disney, we had a special treat! The It’s a Small World ride was open for testing! So we were some of the first people ever to ride this classic Disney ride! It was so fun to see a segment on the evening news about the upcoming opening of this ride that we’d already ridden
It was much better than the one in FL. It was much more multicultural (natural for an international place like Hong Kong). The song was sung in three different languages through the ride. The Asia section was much larger and more attractive than that in FL. And some of the classic Disney characters were incorporated into the display — Mowgli in India, Cinderella in Europe, Jasmine and Aladin in the Middle East, etc.
And look at this wait time… can you believe it? Five minutes for It’s a Small World? I don’t think I can ever enjoy American Disney again. I’ve been utterly and totally spoiled!
Several of you asked about the Disney characters being Americans or Asians. Well, under those costumes, I have no idea, of course! The ones with huge masks on don’t speak at all. So I had no clue whatsoever.
But the princesses were all Anglo not Asian. I don’t know where they were from. They sounded (from their English) like North Americans, but of course, you can’t ask Belle “Where are you from?” I mean, everyone knows Belle is from France!
