The Right Time Wins the Good Times at Disneyland - 1985
From 1985 here’s a mini-poster type thing advertising Disneyland’s big give-away for its 30th anniversary. All you have to do is guess the entry time of the 250 millionth guest and you can win big! And if by chance you ARE the 250 millionth guest, there was a super prize package consisting of; a trip for two to Tokyo Disneyland, a 1985 Cadillac (Unfortunately it was the new downsized Deville and not the El Dorado or a Seville), and a life time pass to the Magic Kingdom.

The ’67 Edition of Dixieland at Disneyland
For today’s post we’ve got another rare and exciting Vintage Disneyland Ticket(s) currently up for auction on eBay (link). These tickets and the program are so out of my neighborhood I can’t see them from my front porch. The Seller was nice enough to give his permission to post his auction, so the “Thou shalt not copy” doesn't apply to the blog. Blogger disclosure: I am in no way connected to the seller or the auction and will not profit from its sale.
“The ’67 Edition of Dixieland at Disneyland” Saturday Night September 30 1967 - 8 PM ‘til 2 AM, wow 2 AM! Can you imagine admission to Disneyland, unlimited rides and tons of incredible entertainment all for $7.
Interesting how the back of the ticket refers to the event as the “Special Dixieland at Disneyland Party” – Jason; you better cross check these titles…
This is part of the reason the auction is out of my bid range, that’s one awesome and rare souvenir program – Matterhorn1959, do you have this one? See plenty of super Dixieland programs of at Matterhorn's blog Stuff from the Park.
7th annual presentation. I believe Dixieland at Disneyland ran for 10 years, 1961 thru 1970.
Why is Louis Armstrong on the Tomorrow Stage? Shouldn’t he be over in the “new” New Orleans Square or back on the Mark Twain?
When did Disneyland start printing the phrase “the happiest place on earth” – I would guess around 1965. I bet Jason knows, I already owe him $231,955.22 in Disney Dollars for previous Magic Kingdom Club research so we’ll just add this to the bill.

Disneyland’s New Sights & Bright Lights – August 19 thru 25 1973
It’s time to celebrate Disneyland’s New Sights & Bright Lights – August 19 thru 25 1973. This gate flyer is very much like yesterdays 1974 flyer. In fact, it doesn’t actually say “1973” anywhere. Thank's "Jim" for the correct year (I thought it was 1979!). The New Mouseketeers have some seriously nerdy outfits - but I like them.
The Grass Root, totally radical! During the summer, Disneyland is still open till 1am!!!!!!!!!!!!
More entertainment than you can shake a stick at (but please don't).
Here’s an insert that provides TIPS on viewing the Electrical Parade. 8:50 PM seems like an odd time to start a parade?
Center right; now I get it, the 8:50 PM parade starts at 9:00 PM… The drawings on this page are actually not very good, Small World and the Alice ride vehicle look like something I would draw.

Disneyland's Sparkle & Song All Summer Long - 1974
Are you ready to Sparkle & Sing All Summer Long? From August 25 thru 31, 1974 here’s gate flyer with a super cover – America Sings NOW OPEN!!! Boy do I love that artwork! This flyer is very similar to one I posted last week “Celebration Summer” from 1975 (link).
The cool little drawings are the same as the one used on the inside of the 1975 flyer. The Great Rock Circus presents Sam Jo?
An unbelievable amount of entertainment!

Magic Kingdom (WDW) 2-day Passport - 1981
It's time to show some love for Disneyland's Florida cousin. From Walt Disney Word's Tencennial here's a couple of Child 2-day Passports. The date should be stamped on these since they appear to have been used? Maybe the ink faded? Well, they're from 1981!
Visit the EPCOT Center Preview theater on Main Street! What do you suppose the little hand written numbers are for?
The Guide Books at Walt Disney World are about 50% larger than Disneyland's.
The map and each land had that 1980's Licorice Pizza style of artwork - I like it even though it makes me feel weird.
[my computer is typing this on its own] "I can't afford to have an independent programmer monitoring me. Do you have any idea how many outside systems I've gone into? How many programs I've appropriated?"

Magic Kingdom Club Membership Card - 1976
Back to the Magic Kingdom Club collection, this time its 1976! The 1976 Membership card also includes the Florida logo. This was from the Lockheed Employees Recreation Club, those wacky rocket scientists! Upon closer inspection, Ken Watternberger’s signature is printed and not an original!
“Not available to the cake eating public”. Use this card to purchase exclusive Magic Kingdom Club ticket books.
Here’s one of those exclusive ticket books, this is from June 1976.
The normal book had 11 tickets; with the club membership you got 13 for the same price. I believe they added an extra "D" and "E" ticket.
Sharp eyes will notice America Sings on the “D” and “E” tickets. The “D” ticket is actually from 1977 (the rest are June 1976) and has the recently downgraded America Sings which was still on the “E” Ticket in June 1976.
Just give me 4 hours, OK 6 hours (maybe 10 hours) in this Disneyland, that’s all I want.
The Magic Kingdom Club membership guide should have Disneyland’s Castle on the cover!
These brochures are folded really weird.
It opens up to this big travel section.
10% discount at Howard Johnson’s – earth tones included at no extra charge.
How about directions to Sinclair Paints in Santa Ana?

Celebration Summer at Disneyland - August 17-23, 1975
Its Disneyland’s Celebration Summer - 1975. This fun gate flyer is for August 17 thru 23, 1975. The drawing on the left is so hip – I’m in there somewhere!
Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods (who?) – Sunshine Balloon is rocking the Tomorrowland Terrace. And America on Parade is just a few months old here. Did you know that Don Dorsey created the unique new musical sound for this parade? He was also the guiding force behind the computerized synchronization of the Main Street Electrical Parade when it returned in 1977. Don's DECS sync system is now the Disney “global” standard for parades (link).
At first I could not tell is this flyer was from 1975 or 1976 (there is no year indicated). However, this rarely seen logo confirms it’s from 1975.
Endless amounts of entertainment all for the price of admission!

Magic Kingdom Club Calendar - Spring 1970
You may have noticed the blog has a slightly different look - I was playing with the new blog templates, I pressed "apply" and now there is no going back! Consider it a work in progress - yea, it looks a little weird to me too, it's not quite what I was looking for - yet.
Back to the post, here's a calendar from the Magic Kingdom Club for the Spring of 1970. Lots of private parties in the spring and isn't it odd to see the park closed on Monday's and Tuesday's?
The back side of the calendar had this great advertisement for The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

Magic Kingdom Club Membership Card - 1967
From the Magic Kingdom Club vaults (that's the shoe-box) here’s a 1967 Membership Card. The castle appears to be very similar to the 1966 Membership Card, but this castle has some abstract shading – a security feature?
Usually the organization is a corporation or a union, this one appears to be from the Disneyland Recreation Club, what’s that all about (Jason?).
New for 1967, 10 percent discount on merchandise! But only at Disneyland Operated Shops & Stores? How were you supposed to know the difference?
This is one of the special ticket books you might have purchased with your 1967 Membership Card. Dated October 1967, it’s missing the admission ticket (naturally) which is too bad because unlike the Globe tickets inside, the admission ticket was the rare castle and star paper.
The Magic Key Coupon was the Cadillac for Disneyland attraction tickets. Good on ANY ride or attraction, A thru E!
These ticket books could only be purchased in the off season. During the summer, you only got a couple extra regular tickets in a standard “A thru E” type book. If you went frequently however, you could buy these books in the off months then use them in the summer, the never expire!
You’ll find me in the New Tomorrowland ’67!
Although $4.50 was a decent amount of money in 1967, admission to Disneyland and 10 E tickets for under five bucks seems like a great deal or a “Max. Value of $10.50”.
The admission ticket would look pretty much like this, although this one is from 1974 and the main gate admission alone is worth $4.50!
