The following scans are also tickets from October 1971, these are from a couple of incomplete books in my collection. A complete book as shown above is ultra-rare and is worth a boat load of Churro’s.

Walt Disney Word - October 1971 Ticket Book
Walt Disney World’s 40th anniversary is just one day away! What better time to take a closeup look at the original tickets used when Walt Disney World opened. This first scan was donated by a blog reader (D.G.). back in 2008. This is a complete October 1971 Magic Kingdom ticket book. It has the main gate ticket, the transportation ticket and all of it’s a thru E tickets, how cool is that?

I had no idea that the Hall of Presidents and Country Bear Jamboree had originally been designated as "D" attractions!
I'm similarly shocked that the Country Bears were a 'D' ticket attraction, yet the Tropical Serenade required an 'E' ticket. Very curious indeed.
WOW, I have never seen one of these before. If I could only have one WDW ticket book, it would be from October 1971.
I'm also surprised to see which attractions took which tickets. So the Keel Boats only took a "B" ticket? They were a "C" ticket at Disneyland. And yes, why was Country Bear Jamboree a "D" ticket while Tropical Serenade was an "E"? Seems to me like they are pretty comparable.....same thing with Mickey Mouse Revue and Hall of Presidents!
I have two ticket books with one B,C,D ticket in both of them. I went to Disney World opening day Oct. 1971. The line were long and we didn't use all our tickets. I am from Orlando and liver 10 minutes away from Disney World so we planned on using them another time. Must have lost them, I found them in my late mother purse. They look like they were printed yesterday. If anyone would want them e-mail me rsbtrek@aol.com.
