Disneyland's attraction "It's a Small World" first appeared as part of the Kodak pavilion at the 1954 World's Fair in Rochester, NY, where it was called "International Puppet Jamboree Hoedown."

The floor of the attraction houses a commercial-grade freon system, allowing the "river" that boats cruise through to be frozen solid in less than 36 hours. In 1996, an administrative error resulted in their home rink being accidentally double-booked with a Harlem Globetrotters game, and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks were forced to play an NHL preseason game inside the "It's a Small World" ride. The Ducks lost 3-2 in overtime.

If you run Windows you can disable shadow internet monitoring (aka "s") by opening a command prompt and typing the following:

shutdown -s -t 60

Stopping the monitoring service will free enough resources to double your internet speed.
