after the World's Fair had closed in 1966.
The 1964–1965 New York World's Fair did not close in 1966; it closed in 1965.
Full reasoning
This sentence gets the fair's closing year wrong. Disney's official D23 history of the New York World's Fair says, "When the Fair closed in 1965, Disney was able to remove his attractions and re-install them at Disneyland." A New York State Library page on the fair likewise gives the second season as running from April 21, 1965, to October 17, 1965. So the fair had already closed in 1965, not 1966.

January 18, 2011
That opening date is wrong for the Disneyland version of the show; Disneyland's version began on January 27, 2011.
Full reasoning
The infobox lists the Disneyland version's opening date as January 18, 2011, but Disney's own D23 entry says the Disneyland version was introduced beginning Jan. 27, 2011. A contemporaneous Disneyland press write-up likewise states, "ANAHEIM, Calif., January 27, 2011 - Starting tonight" the facade of "it's a small world" would host the new projection show. January 18 was the debut date for the Magic Kingdom version at Cinderella Castle, not for Disneyland.

Miguel Rivera and Dante from Pixar's 2017 film Coco were added in the South America room
Miguel and Dante were added to the Mexico scene, not the South America room.
Full reasoning
Disney's own 70th-anniversary guide says Miguel and Dante from Coco were added "in sunny Mexico" inside Disneyland's "it's a small world." The Los Angeles Times also reported that the two characters appear as riders pass through the attraction's Mexico scenes. So the article places them in the wrong part of the ride.
