Fun Facts

The Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction has been delighting guests since Disneyland's grand opening on July 17, 1955.

The ride features 13 miniature scenes from classic Disney animated films, including 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Aladdin.'

When the attraction first opened, it was known as the Canal Boats of the World before being renamed in 1956.

The boats are powered by electric motors, ensuring a smooth and quiet journey through the canals.

The landscaping includes real bonsai trees and miniature plants, meticulously maintained to enhance the scale of the scenes.

The concept of miniature villages and landscapes was inspired by similar attractions found in European theme parks and gardens.

The scenes are periodically updated to include new Disney films, ensuring the attraction remains relevant and engaging for visitors.
