“it’s a small world” Returns Reversed

WDWNT Reporter Banks Lee visited the Magic Kingdom this morning to ride “it’s a small world” following its lengthy refurbishment. The only big changes are the queue and exit which have been swapped. Guests now enter the queue and load the boats on the left side and exit on the right. Handicap loading has also been moved to the right side. Here’s a video of the changes (Banks will be updating this video soon to include a full ride-through of the attraction):
