From November 1978, this is one of those that “got away” from my on EBay. This Bank of America Disneyland Money Order is pretty rare, I’ve only seen this one. I forget what it sold for, but it was over my head. What’s interesting is that it appears someone purchased this Money Order with the intent of making it a Souvenir, unless they really needed a $1 money order with a blank payee…
And for some color, here’s another of those 1980’s souvenir slides. Who else misses the Country Bears????

Bring back the Bears!
bears were a hoot! miss 'em!
Yeah, I bid (unsuccessfully) on a Disneyland B of A money order once too, maybe it was the same one! You really don't see those come up much.
Yep, You are right! That Disneyland money order was purchased as a souvenir...or maybe even an investment. Even in 1976 a single dollar was a trivial denomination for a money order.
But think of the return on investment! Man, was I stupid! Better than Gold!
Yes, bring the Bears back to Anaheim! Stick them in DCA if you have to, just bring them back!

I own a 1955 Bank of America money order from Disneyland! My Father bought it for me when we went there two months after the grand opening! I have saved it all these years and have it in a safety deposit box!
