After a flooding issue caused the popular ride to come to a screeching halt, "it's a Small World" has now reopened to Disneyland guests.

ANAHEIM, CA — On Monday, "it's a small world Holiday" has reopened at last following flooding in the attraction, according to officials.

The ride has been closed since Nov. 11 when flooding impacted the mechanisms that propel the ride, according to the resort. Resort workers, lovingly referred to as Cast Members, have worked "day and night" to replace gears and inner workings to get the ride back up and running, they say.

The beloved exterior of the favored Fantasy Land location has continued to gleam during the evening hours. On Sunday, visitors noticed that the flume was filled and the boats were cycling through the ride in advance of the reopening.
