"it's a small world" Magic Kingdom Finale room through the years (Not my footage)

This is the finale room of Magic Kingdoms "it's a small world" through the years. There are many pictures, films, and videos showing the evolution of this room through the years. All of the pictures and films are from the 1970's (including an amazing 1974 sound film), while all videos are from the early-1980's to the present. This version of the finale has many different cultural instrumentals played alongside the main theme, such as Russian Band, Greek Flute, Scottish Bagpipes, German Band, France, and Holland Ducks. Some of these instrumentals are no longer played, such as France, while most of the others are still played to this day. The main soundtrack has also gone through a few changes over the years, in the very early years there was the main theme, similar to the 1964-65 Worlds Fair version except the adult chorus at the end was replaced with a reprise of the first verse of the song. This was changed in roughly 1976 to a similar soundtrack with a slight british accent. This soundtrack was used for many years, until the 2004-05 refurbishment, when it was removed and replaced with the same audio used at the 1964-65 Worlds Fair, with the adult chorus at the end. That audio is still used today, along with the cultural variations played throughout the room. There have also been some other changes as well, but overall, other than the main soundtrack plus a couple of the cultural instrumentals it's still pretty similar today to how it was 50 years ago. And sorry again for the video being 720p, again there was nothing I could do about making it 1080p so sorry about that. I'll have the goodbye room through the years coming tomorrow, but for now I hope you enjoy Magic Kingdoms finale through the years.

Will you do Tokyo Disneyland It's a Small World through the years?

[@benjaminroberson1924]

Yes, though probably not for a month or so because I have some other things that I'll be making in the meantime, but yes when I get to that I will eventually be doing both Tokyo as well as Paris it's a small world through the years

I personally don't think the adult chorus works in Magic Kingdom.

[@benjaminroberson1924]

We can agree to disagree for this, as I think it does work though so does the 1971 version here. Actually I think the 1971/80's-90's versions work better with the multicultural instrumentals (of which I wish they'd bring back France and Indonesia, & add Tahiti like TDL), but I still personally like the 1964 audio in WDW as well as the 1971/80's versions. The multicultural instrumentals do sound a little strange with the 1964 adult chorus, so if that's what you mean then I do agree there. I think maybe having a six verse loop, three verses of full 1964 audio followed by three of the 1971 MK audio, would be a wonderful and pretty ideal Finale audio for MK to have. If possible, maybe I'd be extended to nine or even twelve verses and include the third verse a couple times, and maybe another reprise of 1964 audio somewhere in there. At some point when I have more time to recreate this stuff, I definitely will, including eventual full recreations of my ideal DL, MK, TDL versions (maybe later DLP and HKDL?).
