June 18, 1956 - Disneyland's Storybook Land (including Canal Boats of the World) premieres. The canal contains 465,000 gallons of water in which 13 boats sail. The ride is partly based on Madurodam, a tourist attraction in Holland that Walt Disney once visited.

ASK DAVE

YOUR QUESTION When I was a child I had a record that helped me work on math facts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I seem to recall a bird with a pencil-shaped nose on the cover. I believe it was a Disney recording. Am I correct? - Patti, 44, Broadview Heights, OH	Submit a Question!

The records were first released as Disney recordings in 1963. And, you're right, the first album does indeed feature the pencil bird on the cover.
