ITEM features IT's A SMALL WORLD 1964 New York Worlds Fair AD GRAPHIC from Disney IMAGINEERING RESEARCH
The idea for “it’s a small world” had played in Walt Disney’s mind for many years. He wanted to create some sort of show that featured the children of the world singing in harmony and peace. Unfortunately, Walt didn’t have the chance to realize this dream. Until the early sixties…
In 1960 Walt Disney gathered his staff and proposed the idea on offering Disney’s services to the American Corporations who were participating in the soon to be "1964 New York World's Fair”.
He realized that some companies were looking for something that would stand out from the others, something brand new, and unique.
Numerous problems faced WED once everything arrived in New York. To install the attraction, crews (living off black coffee in the morning, and martinis for lunch) worked seven days a week to make the deadline.
The original name of the attraction was to be “The Children of the World”, but after the Sherman Brothers wrote their song, the name was changed to “it’s a small world”.
The fair opened on April 22, 1964 and “it’s a small world” was an immediate success. The ride cost 95 cents for adults and 60 cents for children (with funds going to Unicef). Over the next two years, over ten million guests visited the pavilion. In a rather short period of time, theme-park technology was advanced greatly. With, a minimal expenditure to the Walt Disney Company. By dealing with corporations, and stretching his Imagineers' creativity valuable lessons were learned.
