72 years ago today, Walt Disney’s Disneyland television series premiered on ABC, inviting families into a world of Disney stories every week.
In the first episode, “The Disneyland Story,” Walt took viewers behind the scenes at his studio and shared a preview of his newest dream, Disneyland. The park was still under construction and wouldn’t open its gates until the following summer.
The series would go on to be known by several names over the years, including The Wonderful World of Disney, becoming a familiar part of family television for generations.
Did your family watch Disney together on television growing up?

Fiberglass rear tailfins, hood induction scoop, and 275-hp supercharged 289 V8 performance.
Meet the high-powered 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk Hardtop! Designed by Robert Bourke under Raymond Loewy's styling direction, the '57 Golden Hawk paired sleeker grand touring proportions with factory supercharging to create one of the fastest American cars on the road.
Up front, it features a forward-leaning mesh eggcrate grille, hood-mounted clearance lamps, and a fiberglass hood scoop designed to accommodate the blower. Its low-slung profile leads to dramatic fiberglass tailfins highlighted by contrasting color inserts. Under the hood sits Studebaker's 289-cubic-inch V8 engine equipped with a McCulloch centrifugal supercharger, blasting out 275 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque for incredible power-to-weight performance.

For 60 years, we’ve watched Linus wait in the pumpkin patch, Snoopy take on the Red Baron, and Charlie Brown end up with a bag full of rocks.
Did you watch this Halloween classic with your family growing up?
