Small World, Big Show

It’s a Small World transforms every evening. // © 2011 Disney

As of last month, Disneyland's classic "It's a Small World" undergoes a dramatic transformation each night after the sun goes down as the canvas for the innovative new show, "The Magic, the Memories and You!"

Guests will be reminded of their Disney memories and may even see themselves in the nightly show, as a kaleidoscope of larger-than-life images is projected onto the facade of the attraction. Included in the thousands of photographs each night will be approximately 500 photos of guests who visited Disneyland that very day -- resulting in a different "The Magic, the Memories and You!" presentation every night.

After the sun goes down, the 10-minute spectacle combines the day's photos with photos and videos taken from Disney's "Let the Memories Begin" online hub, and brings them to life with the help of new projection technology that transforms the architecture of "It's a Small World" into a breathtaking display.

A similar show, featuring guest images projected onto the soaring spires of Cinderella Castle, premiered Jan. 18 in the Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
