From the “
this just in” department here is a seriously
Vintage Disneyland Ticket. From late
1955 to early
1956 the first batch of lettered tickets used the word “
Ride” under the letter. This would change in early
1956 and be replaced with “
Coupon” (
link) which would remain on the tickets until the end of letter tickets in
1982. The Freight Train was worth 10¢ more than the other rides, even the Phantom Boats?
Vintage Globe Paper, say “
ahhhhh” with me.
A buck fifty bought some amazing memories for some lucky youngster. Do you think that’s a replica of Walt’s real signature? Looking at this spring
1995 Sketches article (
link) it does look like Walt’s signature.
May your visit be a happy one! All tickets in this book void after
December 31, 1956.
Take another ticket to ride, I dare you (

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Cool post.
LOVE LOVE LOVE The Carps!
These are so cool! Thanks!
Interesting that the signature that matches the best is one from 1937!
Man, I sure would love to have one of those 1955 books - complete with admission, of course.
By the way, somewhere out there, I've seen a photo of the Carpenters playing at Disneyland.
What the.....????? I clicked on that link and watched The Carpenters sing "Ticket To Ride" and after that there was a "suggestion" to watch them sing "Please, Mr. Postman" which was filmed in 1975 AT DISNEYLAND!!!! I never knew about this! Did you know about this????? For part of the video, they're riding in a Nature's Wonderland Mine Train and at the very end of the video, the train is entering the Cascade Peak tunnel! I love the Carpenters and I love DL....what a great find!
I wonder if that's when the photo that Major Pepperidge is talking about was taken?
