"it's a small world" Disneyland 1966 Main Entrance Preview extremely rare audio 10 min loop

This is a 10 minute loop of an extremely rare piece of audio relating to my favorite ride ever built at Disneyland, that is the Happiest Cruise that Ever Sailed: Walt Disney’s “it’s a small world”. It was a nice dialogue preview of the ride, that played along with the original main theme audio, which was played live on the speakers outside the Disneyland main entrance Ticket Booths in 1966. I have to give HUGE thanks to the absolutely amazing website DisneyChris.com for releasing this wonderful audio, which I have taken the 48 seconds of (Like the 1964/66 Hammack soundtrack), and looped for a grand total of 10 minutes. This is an extremely rare piece of audio that I don’t think anyone has put on YouTube before, so I am thrilled to do so. The dialogue mentions the many magical children and animal audio animatronics used throughout this ride, and gives a warm tone for the new E Ticket masterpiece at the back of Fantasyland, largely shipped directly from the original 1964-65 World’s Fair version near the end of 1965. When it’s a small world opened on May 28, 1966, I believe this audio began playing on the loudspeakers on the ticket booths for at least the next few months afterward (Or that Summer/Autumn if not beyond?). This was before the main entrance of Disneyland gained a consistent music loop around 1971, so I think before that they sometimes had special previews of certain major additions, including this amazing audio. I am not sure exactly how long this audio played, besides that it played at the Disneyland main entrance Ticket Booths in 1966. Also, the three pictures that I used throughout this video are still the best ones I’ve found throughout the Internet of the 1966 Disneyland Main Entrance. One has the old flowers outside the old Ticket Booths, then the Mark II Monorail passing over the parking lot, and the last being the Main Entrance from the old Ticket Booths. The first two were found on Flickr, and the last was found on Davelandweb.com. I hope you enjoy this rare audio!
