D Weekend - The Big "D"!

Sure I'd love to show the whole family a large selection of decapitated death-bloated heads like this, but who can afford those prices? It could cost our family of four upwards of $15 for a day at Disneyland!

Truly shocking prices. *nods* It's a wonder anyone would go.

“The most terrifying place on Earth!” That image looks like it was torn straight from my childhood nightmares.

In '61 they were *truly* terrifying! See those hats? That's where the teenage kid in the costume kept his entire head and shoulders, making the eyes of each character be at about nipple-height and the entire head was the size of a human torso. Each character costume's arms just dangled from it's side, like dead worms or over-cooked noodles flip-flapping any which way they chose. The only parts of these costumes designed to move were the legs and feet. Horror...

That must be what inspired the title "Tragic Kingdom."

Hm, if this converter is accurate, it wasn't that cheap.

$116 for a family of four to go to Disneyland is an INCREDIBLE bargain! A 1-day ticket for one adult person is currently $125!

Except I remember as a kid those little ticket books only had a limited number of the really "good" rides - the E ticket rides - so if you wanted to ride on the Matterhorn or Space Mountain again, you had to buy another book.
Then, I seem to remember when I got a little older, they started doing a la carte tickets next to each ride, that were each a little more expensive than if you bought a whole book of tickets.
Then finally they went to the all-you-can-eat method and we thought, "what a deal!"

When I was in college, a Southern California one-day ticket was $20. Those were the days!
