Of course, Davelandblog is at the top of the list (and I've been lucky enough to have some of my babblings posted on his site), with Gorillas Don't Blog, and Stuff from the Park, and your blog all included. It's odd to think that no one has actually seen these images in person. We visited the park about a week after it opened, and then I started work there 4 years later for 6 years. A life defining experience. I would give a lot to do it again, and I would spend all my pay at the souvenir stands.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-37530820178213884392008-01-31T07:35:00.000-08:002008-01-31T07:35:00.000-08:00Wow everyone, thanks for all the information!Viewl...Wow everyone, thanks for all the information!<BR/><BR/>Viewliner; Yes, I’ve see some blatant fakes and misleading descriptions, “buyer beware” indeed.<BR/><BR/>Jed; What kind of authenticity guarantee should I be looking for from the seller? I guess he should state where and how he got it?<BR/><BR/>Matterhorn; You have one? Sweet! (Scan and/or post it, pretty please)<BR/><BR/>Coxpilot; I was starting to get convinced that this ticket was real from the other comments, after yours I am sure it’s real. July 1955, oh my. 8 million questions come to mind when I hear that! How about I distill I down to one; what was it like???? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments guys!<BR/><BR/>Anyone else notice it looks like someone tried to remove the "8" in the date?Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271547004023345785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-72180542473185545092008-01-30T18:42:00.000-08:002008-01-30T18:42:00.000-08:00My first visit to Disneyland in July of 1955 with ...My first visit to Disneyland in July of 1955 with my family (father was on business with the State Board of Equalization), and we had a press pass JUST like it. However; it was on white paper originally. I remember carrying it in my pocket to flash it at the ride entrances instead of a ticket. The pass is long gone, but not the memory.

Can't confirm its authenticity, though, without seeing it in person. One observation, though...that stubbed corner makes it look like the paper is pretty thick, a good indicator that it's real. The color damage to the paper also bodes well for its authenticity. But I would get some kind of authenticity guarantee from the seller. <BR/><BR/>As for the Ebay tickets, that seems bizarrely high, but what do I know?<BR/><BR/>The mystery blogger wrote you back.
