It's a Small World is renown for its classic, geometrically striking ride building facade, famously designed by artist Mary Blair.  Whimsical, elegant, and full of fancy, it's an iconic design that has become synonymous with the attraction.  But the landscaping outside of the ride is also playfully memorable, with toparies and colorful flowers and manicured shrubbery providing a scenic and photogenic foreground and frame to a ride that promises a world of laughter and a world of fun.  It's played a part in many a Disney fan's childhood memories, and it continues to entertain guests from all over today!
