Yup I did get the posts ready ahead of time, how could I miss posting paper goods on the week of Disneyland’s Birthday? <BR/><BR/>Disneyana, Thanks! I will be doing a multi-part post next week about my trip.<BR/><BR/>Katella; from what I can tell, the “reversal” of the ticket sizes occurred sometime in late 1966 early 1967 and seems to coincide with Walt’s passing, I have no idea why the size changed except that by that point they were printing more “E” tickets than the rest. Knott’s didn’t start their lettered tickets until 1969/70, and since their order was reversed (“A” was there best) and they had less attractions, they never produced an “E” ticket. Their A-D tickets were on globe paper though and tend to look similar, I wonder too if there were issues with people trying to use them at Disneyland. <BR/><BR/>And Katella, Oh boy do I hear you about the captive audience!Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-53064249872527918222008-07-18T09:33:00.000-07:002008-07-18T09:33:00.000-07:00I'm a few posts late with this question, but I sup...I'm a few posts late with this question, but I suppose I could ask it here rather than burying it in an old posting.<BR/><BR/>The original Disneyland ticket scheme was A to E, with "A" being the stubby ticket. Then it was reversed with "E" being the short coupon.<BR/><BR/>Q1: What year did this happen?<BR/><BR/>Q2: Did the introduction of tickets at Knott's Berry Farm have anything to do with it?<BR/><BR/>Knott's tickets were also printed on Globe stock, and had "Large E" coupons. Did Disney switch to ensure at a glance they weren't honoring somebody else's coupon?<BR/><BR/>As for the price difference between Disneyland and DisneyWorld: I think it's mostly a captive audience thing. If you don't like the WDW prices, it's not like you can bail and spend the day at Knott's.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365847952380109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-84999597332062756242008-07-18T08:29:00.000-07:002008-07-18T08:29:00.000-07:00Wonderfully done.I'm very much looking forward to ...Wonderfully done.<BR/><BR/>I'm very much looking forward to your trip report.Disneyana Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127237908008447457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-79500297773657655522008-07-18T08:16:00.000-07:002008-07-18T08:16:00.000-07:00How are you blogging every day during your trip!! ...How are you blogging every day during your trip!! Crazy! I appreciate it though, you must have set up drafts for every single day.
