New Pavement Revealed Near “it’s a small world,” Construction Walls Up at Fantasyland Theater in Disneyland

Construction walls have come down from the “it’s a small world” popcorn cart in Disneyland, revealing a new pavement style. Meanwhile, construction walls have gone up at Fantasyland Theater.

“it’s a small world” Pavement

A popcorn cart is set up on a paved area near a small group of people. There are trees in the background and two other carts nearby.

The new pavement cuts jarringly into the old. It’s a grid of squares with a rocky texture. The old sidewalk is made of bricks in various red and black shades.

A patch of textured concrete intersects with patterned paving stones. Shadows of a tree and a person's legs are cast on the surface.

There are persistent rumors that “it’s a small world” will soon get an extensive refurbishment. As part of the anticipated work, the sidewalks around the attraction will be updated. This could be our first look at the new pavement that will surround “it’s a small world.”

Fantasyland Theater Construction Walls

A construction wall with decorative panels shields an area in a park, creating a small world of its own. Nearby, there's a signboard and two playful, themed trash bins. Trees can be seen in the background.

Although Fantasyland Theater is still home to Pixar Pals Playtime Party for a few more weeks, construction walls are up outside the theater. The walls block the entrance archway but there are paths open into the venue.
