Disneyland Ticket Books 59-65

On June 14 1959, Disneyland experienced its first significant expansion.  New attractions included the Submarine Voyage, the Monorail, and the Matterhorn Bobsled.  With these great new attractions, a new "E-Ticket" was introduced too.

This set of tickets also changed the lettering style of the ticket values from previous black & bold font style to a newer and contrasting red & narrow font style.

Ticket Book 1961 Reproduction

Ticket Book 1965 Reproduction
1965 saw the C thru E ticket prices going up to .35 .45 & .60
(formerly .30 .35 & .50)

Technically, this was the first price increase at Disneyland.  Even during the 50's, when the D Ticket was the highest value ticket, that value was still only .50--- upon the introduction of the E ticket in 1959, the D ticket was reduced to .35 cents, allocating the max .50 value to the new E tickets until the 1965 price increase.
