Disney facts revealed
Dave Smith2016

Beginning with the July 1983 issue of Disney Channel Magazine, Dave Smith began answering Disney trivia questions from viewers of the Disney Channel. In the ensuing thirty years, his column has continued through multiple publications, including Disney Magazine, the on-line "Disney Insider," and most recently the D23 website. "Ask Dave" questions have come from Disney enthusiasts the world over, and have covered topics ranging from Cinderella's last name (Tremaine) to the number of triangles covering the surface of Epcot's Spaceship Earth (11,324 facets comprising 954 triangles.)

After the success of his first Disney trivia Q&A book, Disney Trivia from the Vault, Dave continued his "Ask Dave" column through the D23 website. In recent years, questions have gotten more interesting and difficult for Dave to answer, as the more common answers can now be found online. With another critical mass of about 1,100 new Disney trivia Q&A, Dave assemble his second volume, Disney Facts Revealed. Divided into chapters covering a specific aspect of The Walt Disney Company (such as Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney films, Disney television, Disney characters, Disney collectibles, and more).

Many of the questions lead Dave to fascinating information that has not been published elsewhere, and readers will delight in discovering some of the secrets behind their favorite movies and theme parks. "Is it true that most of the Matterhorn has chicken wire?" "I heard that there is a Goofy wristwatch with the numbers going counterclockwise. Is that true?" "Did the Sherman brothers ever perform one of their songs in a movie feature?" Only Dave knows the answers!
