Yes.  :)

What we're talking about was the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 
walk-through at Disneyland, from opening day to the dark day they tore 
it out in 1966.  

The lore goes that some of the rides weren't going to be finished 
(although early park plans show the Nautilus back behind about where Mr. 
Lincoln ended up, so it may have always been planned) so they built a 
walk through of the sets, as well as miniatures and the giant squid, 
where Adventures Through Innerspace later went.

The submarine ride at DL did have a ****p named Nautilus, but of course 
it was US Navy design.

WDW's sub ride was themed on the movie Nautilus.
