Recalling my recent post about the last Disneyland Ticket
Book ever sold (
link) I thought it would be fun to post the last “
Courtesy Guest”
ticket books that were produced. There *could* be books made later, but I’ve
never seen them. These
September 1981 5
Adventures in Disneyland “
Courtesy Guest” ticket books were pretty plentiful for
a while, they must have printed a lot of them.
These final books combined the old light blue “Welcome”
sheet and the yellow “Walt Disney Story” sheet into one little panel on the left side
of the front sheet along with the first of five “Courtesy Tickets”.
It’s taken me over a decade to warm up to these little tickets;
they are so small they just don’t seem right, even though they are good on any
attraction, making them effectively little “E” tickets. The printing however is first class, that
classic and special “Vintage Disneyland Tickets” purple ink is as vivid as
ever, the castle graphics can’t be held responsible for being in the early 80’s,
and the Globe Safety paper is rich, thick and crisp, so I’ve become fan of
these after all.
Amazing attraction list, America Sings just jumped out at me
along with a flood of awesome memories, it’s pure sacrilege that they removed
that attraction! The children under seven
notice is just weird. I get that little kids shouldn’t be on the Skyway or the Matterhorn
without an adult, but is it really ok to have four year olds boarding a submarine
or flying to Mars without an adult? Come
to think of it, should a four year old be on ANY attraction without an adult?
What’s the price for these tickets? There’s no price on this
book, for goodness sake, you’re a “
Courtesy Guest”…
