It's not such a small world, after all...

Although it has been around for 41 years, Disneyland theme-ride, "It's A Small World" will be shutting down starting January 2008. Disney employees say the ride will be closing for maintenance, or more specifically, "the fiberglass build up" from the constant scraping of the bottom of the boat with the bottom of the ride, but really, reports say that it is actually the expanding waist line that is causing the need for this maintenance.

Disney plans to deepen the ride (so that the boat, carrying overweight passengers, is less likely to touch the bottom of the ride and cause blockages). It has been reported that this "maintenance" will take up to 10 months. Click here for the full story.



Speaking of maintenance - Disney will be spending over $1 billion in renovating Disneyland's sister-theme-park, CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES. Although they don't want to admit it, California Adventures hasn't been thriving as well as they hoped - possibly for its existing in the shadow of the ever-so-popular Disneyland.
