Puzzle Description:

Three hula dancing dolls from the "Small World" ride in Walt Disney World. The theme song is enough to drive you mad - especially if your boat breaks down halfway through the ride!

The largest's girl's eyes are too far apart.

Actually, the middle one's eyes are too close together. And the colours are all wrong. And they're totally missing their eyebrows. ;-)

Thanks for your entry! I thought it was going to be one of those on some cars ... super tacky.

This must have taken an extremely long time to design. I really enjoyed it and thank you for the great effort.

Re: #2... Well, SOMEONE had to say it. Better you than someone else, I guess. I am sure you get less offended that way.

Thanks, Jota! Yep, they're basically the same, aren't they?

BlackCat - it took longer than I like, that's for sure. :-) The placement of the eyes was a bit of a headache, as widening the middle doll's eyes to match closer to reality led to multiple solutions. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Cute puzzle. And I happen to think the song is sweet. But... 12 minutes of the same song over and over is a bit much. I can't imagine sitting in a broken down ride listening to it for longer than that.

For those who have never been, go on the ride here:

The Hawwaian dancers are around the 10:30 minute marker.

fun puzzle. Good luck in the contest!
I actually like this ride...it's been closed the last several times I've been and it's sad. But the song is one of those that gets stuck in your head until you're driven bonkers.

That song always reminds me of the Lion King when Scar gets mad that the bird is singing it!

Great puzzle. Tricky and fun!

Adorable! And fun to solve. So much better than the original ride!

Thought the tune would be "Lovely Hula Hands" which can also drive you mad if you hear it too often. But now that I see your explanation, yours is a much better choice! Thanks for a sweet enjoyable puzzle treat!

Loved the puzzle, hated the ride after the 12th time with my 5 year old! ;-)

While solving the puzzle, I had the song stuck in my head from the 70's tv commercial for C&H Pure Cane Sugar... From Hawaii... Grown in the sun... darn you!
Excellent final image.

This was a delightful solve. Though I do have to agree about the song.
