It means that it is gone, for now. It could be refiled and restarted, but when it is dismissed the judge sees a problem or that the evidence isn't there for the case. So, until more evidence is produced or something else is introduced into the case it is closed.

What does disposed mean in a court of law vs dismissed?

If a case is dismissed means the Judge threw the case out of court. If a juror is dismissed, the juror is told to go home and another juror replaces him. The disposition is the final outcome.

Anyway, everyone leaves the court room.

No. Dismissed with prejudice means the case has already been adjudicated, and that res judicata would prohibit bringing the case again. Furthermore, small claims court is a level of civil court that has a lower monetary jurisdiction than other levels. The alternative to civil court is criminal court, and small claims cases are not, by their nature, criminal matters.
