Thumbs up good take.

[@provostparkpass]

Awesome! I bet your tours are awesome!

[@TejanaInPhx915]

Lol ..and to right..pointing with 2 fingers!! Lol. I did coin pressing too! Love it!

I have been waiting for this forever!! Finally! It’s funny because I just watch these for fun! Thanks for the upload 😀

[@provostparkpass]

Thanks for watching!

[@soapsforlove4168]

I was one of those Fans that loved the renovation. It was so much fun to look for all those characters from the movies. Little Miles is getting So big and I'm with Amanda, Loved taking a little nap on this ride. As always, thanks for taking us with you to the happiest place on earth.

[@provostparkpass]

you know what, we really love all the Disney characters too!

[@mikespeedfromspeedway2812]

Loved this video, definitely have a better appreciation for this classical Disney attraction. The tribute doll for the amazing Mary Blair is definitely one I will look out for next time I visit. I'm always fascinated with how Disney pays it's respect towards the legends that helped make these parks the greatest places on earth. Thanks as always for your fun and informative videos!

[@SJ_Kravitz_602]

I love this ride during the Christmas holiday season.

[@sonaryhat6053]

Going to have the song stuck in my head for the next few days 😅 great video as always!!! Thanks!

[@provostparkpass]

Imagine editing this thing! lol

[@SteveCarras]

@@provostparkpass I haven't seen Charlie Brown on the ride, if you don't mind a newer comment. Remember, for some reason, the park is closed..

[@SteveCarras]

1:02 Just think if they had used all those songs together instead!

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

What better way to celebrate another end to an amazing day than watching a brand new video from Provost Park Pass, where their "smiles bring friendship to everyone". 😀 Love it's a small world. It's one of our favorite rides at the park. Love how it celebrates inclusivity, have a very special art style by the talented Mary Blair and the incredibly catchy theme song. No matter what, we love singing along to this attraction. Glad you brought up the Charlie Brown Easter Egg on the ride. Not many people know about that one. Keep the magic alive. Love your work and optimism as always. Hope to see you at the parks again soon.😀✨

[@provostparkpass]

We hope to see y'all too! I feel like it's been a minute

[@elizabethbrooks5418]

Love Small World, its been my favorite ride since I was little.

[@bloodytearz22]

The past few weeks have been super stressful for me so I've just been binging your videos because they really make me happy. Thanks for all you do!

[@nzjonty]

This was very cool! I love the Christmas overlay 🎄- the lights are so beautifully and the lighting ceremony is always amazing to watch. Have you spotted the small New Zealand figurine? She’s so cool!

[@gay_cars]

Always good to come home to new video, especially one about my favorite ride. Wonderful work!

[@Noodleandthepoodles]

My friends husband is a sign shop worker and one of the only ones who is able to do the gold plating and also spent hours doing the many shades of white in the finale room. He also did the gold work on Moments with Mr Lincoln and the new Dumbo queue among some of the cool things he’s done with gold plating there!

[@gregsilverman3929]

One day can you do the Incredicoaster Cookie Challenge. It would be the same as the space mountain one but instead of space mountain it would be the incredicoaster and instead of churros it would be cookies from the jack jack cookie stand

[@provostparkpass]

Oh man... that might actually kill Chris... But no worries! We have another challenge coming soon

[@JustinK-vg8ob]

Bedtime video! Haha thankyou again guys! Low key this is the ride I hit up when I need a power nap hahaha but it is enjoyable from time to time!

[@provostparkpass]

This is the ULTIMATE power nap ride!

[@JustinK-vg8ob]

@@provostparkpass yes! Other than this it was the play frozen back in July 2016, God it was so hot me and my girlfriends uncle only 2 sleeping lmao

[@SilasBlanc]

Go to Disneyland on the 21st! I'd love to meet you and Amanda! 😃💟

[@albertflores6867]

I'm a pass holder and your going on my Birthday! I'm not even going on the 21st. Have a blast and tell Mickey and Pluto I said Hi.

[@reverendandy3279]

Fantiastic video, guys. Fun and informative!

[@misshellyconner78]

Only Provost Park Pass could make me WANT to ride Small World again! 😁 Another fascinating video!

[@jakebb4000]

Love the new video style! You should do Storybook canal boats next!

[@provostparkpass]

It's on our list! That ride doesn't get enough love

[@jakebb4000]

Provost Park Pass Yes! I Agree!

[@suzannepeterson1084]

Loved this video and all the information. My mom and grandmother worked at the Studios and had a really good friend who worked on Small World. She made me a "doll" like the others hanging from the balloons that hung in my room growing up. It then was in my daughters room. We still have it, but I'm not sure what kind of shape it is now as it was made in the 60's.

[@provostparkpass]

No way! That is amazing. What a great story. 💚💙

[@genesiszhernandez]

Always enjoying your videos!!!

[@matteoriga5835]

I’m just saying, this man has the guts to walk around DisneyLand (One of the most populated place) talking to a camera! Good job man! Love the vids!

[@shaned5570]

The best Disney Land KZbin’s ever, great video guys well done 👍🏻, for me it’s a small world ride is once in life time ride the song is so hard to get out of you head, but awesome video guys. Please a splash mountain video would be awesome. 👍🏻

[@Sophia-pq6xj]

Yearly, the song is played 574,418.75 times in all of the parks. Daily, it is played 1,573.75 times in all of the parks. Hourly, it is played 98.36 times in all of the parks. In each separate park daily, it is played 314.75 times. In each separate theme park yearly, it is played 114,883.75 times. In each park hourly, it is played 19.67 times. Just in case you were wondering from the video! PLEASE NOTE: This is if it is on sixteen hours a day in all parks, it is different all the time, so this is just an averaging of what it said in the video

[@provostparkpass]

Whoa!!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheRoadHogReport]

I have always been a Disney fan but thanks to Provost Park Pass, I'm now a Disney Pro! I love the humor in these video's! I was never a big fan of "it's a small world" but the family is so we ride everytime we go to the parks! Thanks for another great video!

[@TheRoadHogReport]

P.S. I'm with you Amanda, it's a great place to nap! LOL!

[@ashleynicole1367]

Hey!!! I realllyyy love your videos especially cause I’m a Disney nerd and I’m the kinda person who wants to know all the secrets! Also I’m thinking about getting some of your merch!

[@provostparkpass]

Hey, this channel is made for Disnerds like us! And I think getting some merch would be a great idea! ;)

[@noodle3663]

I love you guys at Provost park pass. I watch you every wednesday.

[@provostparkpass]

We'll keep uploading wednesdays then! ;)

[@daymatthewc]

I once saw an interview with Richard Sherman where he talks about this song and that it is a prayer for peace. When you listen to it with that perspective it takes on whole new meaning.

[@dip1398]

Hey!! i’ve been waiting for you guys!!! I haven’t watched it yet but i know it’s gonna be good!!!!!!!!

[@provostparkpass]

Well... did it live up to your expectations??

[@dip1398]

Provost Park Pass Yup! as always!😀

[@melannwil31]

I love this ride! What do you think about doing a video pointing out all the suns and moons in each area. It’s hard, I try and do it every time I’m on the ride and I can never find them all. Can you?

[@yeetskull8441]

i love this ride and i love this channel.

[@TMMS-13]

You videos always make me smile...thanks. Wish you guys did more WDW videos.

[@randombbyy136]

Mary Blair is so amazing, I knew about this before. Thanks for the refresher course on her! She has some amazing work out there and she is super talented in her work. Love your videos as always and I remain a huge Disney superfan forever.

My all time favorite Disney ride 💛

[@KennyVee]

Someone once asked Richard Sherman how to get it's a small world's song out of their head. His response was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles. He said "The way to get one great song out of your head is to replace it with another great song."

[@chasecarroll2614]

10:29 THAT GIRL LOVES THAT CHURRO lol

[@dianagiordano1278]

my son is 9 ; he loves watching your shows, thanks for making it "G" rated for kids! I agree with your mom. I think heaven will have a bit of Disney. They say the streets of heaven are made of gold! The Lord bless you, Amanda and little Miles!

I like your icon!

We love this ride too, it has the spirit of Walt all over the place

[@MalkaLand1996]

Thank you again for a wonderful and informative video! My pass just expired (annual passholder of 18 years) and I'm not sure I'll be renewing (too expensive). Thank you for enabling me to relive the magic of Disneyland through your videos!

[@nelr8644]

Loved how you pronounced Tagalog! I’m Filipino. Super cool video! Didn’t know it’s a small word is played in Tagalog at a different Disneyland park! Going to Disneyland next week! Your videos always get me so hyped! ❤️

[@SteveCarras]

Some of my friends are Filipino,too. I lvoed it,too.

[@johnwalck3003]

I was at the 1964 World's Fair in New York (I was 8 years old) and I remember riding It's A Small World. I also remember that Ford unveiled the Mustang at this World's Fair.

[@claudiorodriguez8557]

I’m a big garden agriculture geek. Can you do a video on the gardening that takes place at the park!?

[@nohandle227]

I am surprised that at the undrinkable water part you didn't put a cut away from Lisa Simpson drinking the water from Duff Gardens.....LOL

[@bryleewood]

Heyyyy love your channel

[@aleenamayry7614]

I went there on April 27th and me and my mom went on it's a small world and she fell asleep! :) Love your videos!

[@amburdavis2762]

As always great video!!! Are you planning to do something special for haunted mansions 50 year anniversary? I really hope so😎🐾!!

[@JDD_MD]

When I was a kid I would insist that we always do two thing before leaving the park...go on it’s a small world and watch the Main Street electrical parade. It’s a small world and the holiday version are still one of my favorite rides...though definitely creepy sometimes if you think about the fact that you’re trapped in a sound stage with a bunch of dolls haha.

[@AEWFans]

Awsome video guys! Did you know that I haunt It's A Small World too?

[@mariocar0727]

I remember going on it’s a small world and it was honestly very enjoyable I love it

[@SteveCarras]

I would have loved to have been one of those children that Waklt invited..I must've met him, as I've grown up in SoCal. and went in IASW almost from open (May 28,1966).

[@madhatter2825]

Heyyy Provost~~ It really is a small world indeed xD I used to love that ride...until i was stuck in it for 15-20mins with the music playing...you can say i went...mad🎩 Also count how many Disney characters you can see in that ride

[@Kitten-pl3ty]

I was stuck in the ride for at least 30 mins and I went so mad that I have never rode it since

[@provostparkpass]

We will be making a video pointing out all the Disney characters, be on the lookout for that!

[@SteveCarras]

LOL! And until 200?, there WERE no Disney characters n there. The WDW one IS smaller..lower ceiling..(oh. and no LARGE outside clock facade, due to the Florida rians..)

[@bermewdez]

I always want to go on this ride every time I go to Disneyland, though I’m not sure my sister does😝

[@peterfus9543]

The happy birthday song

[@happyhobbyhole507]

3:28 omg You included the Filipina!! (Filipino 🇵🇭) I wasn’t expecting you to include her!! 😍😍

[@potpotparungao3219]

Theres actually a little chicken in Mexico that its so hidden you even wont see it in vids

[@Hannah-bv4xc]

Hey Provost Park Pass! So a great video suggestion is that there are bracelet designing places around Disneyland and depending on where you are in the park you can get different things done. I know there is one place in frontierland and tomorrowland and carsland. Each place has different things to put on your leather band. Give me a shout out if you make this into or part of a video! Love you guys! 💜🏰😊

[@Ollienations]

I LOVE ITS A SMALL WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@deedeewilliamson4162]

You should have talked about it’s holiday overlay. 🎄

Next week, can you do Mad Tea Party secrets revealed

[@provostparkpass]

Not next week, but it's on our list

[@cartoonathalo]

Notifications squad!!! Lol

[@PendelSteven]

Erm. You forgot The Netherlands. We're next to Italy - somehow - in the attraction, represented by tulips, windmills and... Ducks that quack. Apparently the imagineers thought that Dutch sounded like duckquaks or so... :D. You can clearly see our scene on 7:20. Even the houses in the back are typically Dutch. And to be fair... There are a lot of ducks in this country full of water... At 6:30 you can spot the Dutch ducks in the final. With kind regards from the Netherlands though. Keep up the good work!

[@provostparkpass]

I can’t believe we missed that. I’m a huge Netherlands fan!! Orange!!

[@SteveCarras]

@@provostparkpass I am, too! Guess you're in Dutch! :)

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

I would be so cool just to hang with you at Disney for the day don't have any friends to hand with lol :(

[@heathmiller2666]

Richard and Robert Sherman are my uncles when you hear him play on the piano it’s like none other he even can play it backwards

[@carlosmartinez2553]

I loved this ride when i went Disenyland and my niece went on it 2 times while we were and it's true the song very catchy *starts sing* it's a small world after all....

[@deboralee1623]

i've mentioned this before: in the 1980s, there was a radio commercial for Disneyland in which all of the interviewee's answers were sung to the tune of "It's A Small World", the final line being, "We saw it 15 times in a row/We saw it 15 times, how'd ya know?" Correction: "it's a small world"

[@TroyZombeeMunkeeParsons]

Every year Cast Members have the Great Rubber Duck Race in Small World. CMs buy a rubber duck for a !.00 and decorate them. They are then put into the flume held back by a net then released at the same time. All the proceeds of the race goes to Make A Wish.

[@flowergirlinWard17]

If you would like to hear a "happy cry" story, one year many years ago our church group kids went to Disneyland, and brought along with us a young lady who came from Sweden to the US to be an au pair for a church family with 7 noisy kids, and was missing home terribly. We church kids brought her into our group and brought her along to Disneyland. She was trying to be nice with us, but.....there was a wall there (if you you know what I mean.) Until "It's a Small World". We got on the boat, the ride drifted us into the building, and the song started. But in the very first room, in the Canadian Scandinavian room, her face suddenly lit up, and she said with astonishment, "They're singing in Swedish!" And from then on, Disneyland was, for her, "The Happiest Place on Earth". Now, years later, married to one of the boys in our group, with 5 kids of her own, they go back and forth to Sweden, to the US, to the Virgin Islands on vacations, to Alaska for summer vacations, and her kids are terrific world travelers speaking Swedish, English, and French, and her husband says it all started when she finally found something to like about California in "It's a Small World".
