THE MAIN ATTRACTION The Newest Disney Legends Join the Family It felt like a family reunion.

The crowd was largely composed of Disney Legends - both newly minted and those named in years past - their families, and their colleagues past and present. There was plenty of hugging and laughter as old friends recognized each other across Legends Plaza, where the ceremony was held. For 20 years, the Disney Legends induction ceremony has been how Disney honors its own - the brilliant, hardworking men and women who have created the magic.

ASK DAVE YOUR QUESTION Where did the small world ride idea come from? - Patrick, 36, Marrero, LA DAVE'S ANSWER Walt Disney was asked to do a Pepsi Cola/UNICEF pavilion at the New York World’s Fair, and he himself had the idea of a “little boat ride” which would feature dolls from all the areas of the world. Originally Walt had thought the dolls could be singing their national anthems, but the result was cacophony, and Walt instead had to turn to the Sherman Brothers to write a song that would fit, also suggesting the title.
