Disneyland Car Pass's
At one time free parking tickets to Disneyland only meant a savings of small change. Today a free parking ticket is worth the price of a good meal. This first ticket is from 1978 and was mailed to a guest from Disneyland's public relations department. You'll see the letter and parade tickets around Christmas time.
I don't have a date on this one, the "X" in the serial number usually means this is a courtesy ticket. If so, the ticket above really should have an "X" also, one of the many ticket mysteries.

Disneyland Today - July 14-20, 1990
It's Disneyland Today – 2o years ago today! July 14 -20, 1990. What better way to start the 90's than to have huge balloon characters roaming down Main Street.
Don't miss the Dick Tracy Musical Review at Videopolis, I sure did. I never understood the pastel-colored Dick Tracy of 1990, too weird. Lot's of ticket choices, the annual pass is a bargain at $165 (with parking).
There is so much (too much?) going on the main page here you almost forget there are rides too! Don't forget, the Pigskin Classic begins August 26th.
Only Disneyland can throw a party this big a GEO, huh, where the Cadillac's they gave away in 1985!
The old parking lot maps make me smile.

Remembering Deborah - July 8, 1974
It was 36 year ago today that Deborah Gail Stone lost her life while working on America Sings. This seems like such a senseless death, didn't anyone anticipate this could happen? Thanks Jim for sending us this article and making sure we remember Deborah. Please note this article incorrectly states the date Deborah died as July 9, 1974, it occured on July 8th, 1974.

America Sings Information Packet - Summer 1978
Back in 1978 a school teacher in Holtville California was planning a play based on Disneyland’s America Sings. Apparently she wrote Disneyland looking for the lyrics, amazingly they didn’t have them? But they were more than happy to provide an awesome information package.
The artwork on the cover is also on a guide book (link) and a few other items. However, this is the nicest printed version I’ve seen.
Each of the sections is separated by a tab that I didn't scan. These’s some great information in here, reading thru it sure makes me miss this attraction. In Act IV Betty Taylor sings “Bill Bailey”!

Knott's Berry Farm Note Pad & Flyer July 10-13, 1978
Here’s a fun souvenir note pad from Knott’s Berry Farm. Made by Vagabond Creations, the cover has raised print and feels fancy like a wedding invitation. By the way, Vagabond still makes note pads (link)!
“24 Assorted Pages” translates to 24 pages consisting of 6 unique images repeated 4 times. When was the monument removed? After 1978 I’m guessing since this pad includes Montezooma’s Revenge.
This is my favorite one; somehow those two attractions did manage to blend.
You of course did checked out O.C. History Roundup’s amazing Independence Hall post, if not, go check it out (link).
I always forget it’s the “Timber Mountain” Log Ride, we always just called it “The Log Ride”.
Never done it, not gonna do it.
This is my second favorite. Come on Cedar Fair, Rebuild the Berry Stand. You’re currently playing commercials on the radio where you claim to be “Southern California’s Favorite Theme park” act like it!
This was Knott’s when it used to entertain – July 10 thru 13, 1978! Epic Recording Star Tammy Wynette! Knott’s Ice Spectacular. “Tama drums are the official drums of Knott’s Berry Farm” really?
That’s a pretty busy schedule for the weekdays. I want one of those souvenir maps, oh wait, I probably have one. Knott’s has Fireworks? “America’s most beautiful nightly fireworks” I see Knott’s used the old “America’s Favorite...” line even back in 1978!
Who doesn’t love a disembodied Dick Clark? Dick’s Clark’s head appeared with Bo Diddley, The Coasters and Freddie “Boom Boom” Cannon! I have vague memories of Skiles and Henderson (with bodies of course).
