Really, most people probably tossed their old tickets. I remember finding some old tickets in a drawer at my parent's house, and being shocked that we had leftover E tickets.<br /><br />Mark, somebody else is going to have to solve that mystery, but it is a good question.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-77176971103397713832011-05-23T15:19:09.634-07:002011-05-23T15:19:09.634-07:00I would like to nominate OldDineylandFan's sto...I would like to nominate OldDineylandFan's story of begging for tickets as the most interesting Disney-related comment in the category of "personal anecdotes" I have heard all year.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-88749073665770792582011-05-23T14:03:12.828-07:002011-05-23T14:03:12.828-07:00Looking at the picture made me wonder what is upst...Looking at the picture made me wonder what is upstairs in the depot building?Mark Hicksonhttp://www.markhickson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60022215854410708152011-05-23T13:52:12.236-07:002011-05-23T13:52:12.236-07:00A coworker of mine (now departed, God rest his sou...A coworker of mine (now departed, God rest his soul) grew up in the 60s within bike ride distance of the Park. He and his friends would stand at the parking lot exits and ask people for leftover tickets. They made out like bandits. When they had a good supply, they'd buy admission (only)and enjoy an otherwise free visit to the Park.olddisneylandfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-13018211379610177952011-05-23T12:50:25.938-07:002011-05-23T12:50:25.938-07:00Instead of "Name those Posters", let'...Instead of "Name those Posters", let's play "How much are they Worth", where you guess the total value of the posters in the picture.<br /><br />Being completely ignorant of their value, I will guess $100,000.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-58878270838625570272011-05-23T08:44:40.954-07:002011-05-23T08:44:40.954-07:00Nancy, you may recall that I had a four year gap b...Nancy, you may recall that I had a four year gap between visits, although I did go last October!

Wow, what wonderful photos. How I wish I could view these on a big screen TV because I can't see the posters very well, LOL. GORGEOUS!!!<br /><br />Your comment about the bikes is spot on.
