Hi all. I am hoping someone can answer this question reasonably quick. My daughter & her partner are doing the Social Studies Fair in their school. They decided to do it on the history of Walt Disney World (I couldn't be prouder! :D ). So I've loaned them some "props" of things I've bought of ebay & collected throughout the years. One of the things I have is a ticket booklet from the 70's. Does anyone know what this would have cost back then? She wants to put it with our most recent ticket/room key & show the difference in a one day ticket price now of $60 compared to the book back then of :confused:
I hope someone knows at least a ballpark idea. REally appreciate it!

Does this help ticket books (http://www.justdisney.com/Features/tickets.html#anchor19631)

Funny thing is I was there during the opening year and I vaguely remember my parents talking about how expensive it was...but worth it. Even more I remember how frustrated we were with the booklets. You either had to miss something or buy more books and have a bunch of tickets left over...I wonder if they ever expire :wink: Imagine the look you would get if you tried to use you "D" ticket today.

What a great website! That was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks so much dizzyknee, you came through. The project is due tomorrow morning. I'm going to take their picture with it & send it off to Disney Magazine. Who knows. Doubt they will print it but often they do kids who do projects Disney related.

BT I hope you noticed that the site is DisneyLand but still it's probably close.
Glad I could help.

ya know, I didn't even notice it was D-land! LOL I'm so observant! Oh, it did help, absolutely. She's downstairs now trying to memorize her 3 minute presentation she just found out today she had to do. UGH!

Still have some partial ticket books from Disneyland from the 50's and 60's! :eek:

In the 1970s, before switching to the passport (single ticket for all-day admission) ticket system, General Admission (no rides) was $2 per adult! We used to do that and use as many of the old tickets as we could--mostly A,B and C tickets. We were very young and very broke! :)
