December 11, 2013

Have you had a chance to see the “it’s a small world” Holiday Clock show at Disneyland?  The show debuted on November 12 and takes place every quarter hour after dark, in a surprising new way.  The show uses advanced 3D projection technology and transforms the façade of the entire attraction into an enormous, clockwork mechanism.  The show is amazing.


Today, Disney released a video to show some of the work that went into creating this spectacular show. With Disney’s attention to detail and ability to adapt to whatever the environment, this is more proof of Disney Magic.

Here are a few of “it’s a small world” Holiday Clock Show Fun Facts:
