Ticket Books (::shudder::)

[write-light.livejournal.com]

If you are old enough to remember these, you remember how awful they were.   I'll summarize:

1. "A" tickets were the slowest, most boring "attractions." (<--quotes on purpose) "E" ticket rides kicked ass.
2. You got 3 (maybe 4) E-tickets, but it seemed like 2.
3. Once you used up the E-tickets, you had NO MORE TICKETS FOR THE COOLEST RIDES.
4. Sad downward spiral for the rest of your visit.  Happiest place on Earth, my ass.

I remember always coming home with extras. They were all pastel colors, too. Look at those prices!

That's why they were a "bargain". I always used up all the E tickets.

When I went to Disney World in 1976, Space Mountain was an E ticket; actually, I didn't know they'd changed the system.

One price admission, all rides all day.

Very familiar from 1969 visits and beyond ... much, much planning of the day! And catering to both adults and kids ... *reminisces* There were aching feet from pounding up and down the stairs at Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and getting used to the humidity of the summer in SoCal, etc. etc., etc. I remember the Blue Bayou restaurant being deliciously air conditioned so we stretched our mealtimes out as long as possible.

We went in '67, and I remember these books well. I don't know why I remember that there were just a couple of the E tickets and a bigger number of A tickets, but I was eleven and didn't have control of my book. Of course, maybe Mom tried to get by with fewer than four books... Overall, I was underwhelmed by Disneyland.
