As I am writing my book, I am writing a fun little story about Walt Disney and Disneyland. 

Growing up in Southern California meant that we had the opportunity to go to Disneyland a lot.

I realized that there as some minor details that I just don't know. So, I have some questions that I need answered to put in my book and I am hoping that someone will do me the favor of commenting on my post here to the answers. The references for the questions would also be nice.

Question 1:

What is the exact date that Disneyland opened?

Question 2:

How many guests came to Disneyland on the opening day?

Question 3: 

What were some attractions that were opened on the very first day?

Question 4: 

What are some attractions that opened within a few years and the dates they opened?

Question 5:

What is your favorite ride (past or present)?
