Another 1955 Ticket Plan Flyer
I have another ticket plan flyer from ye olden days of 1955. A very good year. I'm sorry to tell you that it could cost you up to $2.50 to enter the park if you are an adult. I've never seen such prices!
Here's more general information for those who were not yet used to the Disney Way of Doing Stuff.
"Uh, Major, you musta been drinking shoe polish, because you already shared this flyer with us!". So mean. This is actually a different flyer altogether, though admittedly very similar. I've placed the two side by side, with the first shared example on the left, and the new one on the right. It's all about the same, though I noticed the addition of the Phantom Boats under the "Your choice of any 2" heading on the version to the left - which I suppose means that the example I shared before is actually the newer version.
Here's the backs of both, again, with the first shared example on the left, etc. There are some minor differences between the two. I think it's interesting that you could buy a "Ticket Plan" once inside the park, but the admission ticket would be removed, and the admission cost would be deducted. And the ticket taker would punch a hole in your bowler hat.
Anything from 1955 is pretty cool in my book, but you might find these to be a bit too samey-samey. Wait until you see my six different 1956 ticket plan flyers!

Major-
There's certainly no doubt about "rides" at Disneyland-! I find it interesting these flyers never mention the Tickets by name: 'A', 'B', or 'C' . I guess that would be telling tales out of school.
Thanks, Major.
In 1955 I would've been 2 years old, and it would cost only $1.50 for my admission to the Park. Of course, it would've been pretty much a waste for me to experience Disneyland at age two. I don't know how Chuck can remember his trip to the Park at that age... he isn't human. Mrs. Chuck would probably agree. Later on, didn't they allow kids under two to get in free?
3 rides (rides, not attractions, as Nanook noted) from column 'A', 3 from column 'B', and 2 from column 'C'. (Do you also get a fortune cookie with the book?) Almost everybody is gonna want to go on at least 6 of those column 'A' rides. Which means yer gonna have to buy some more individual tickets in addition to the money-saving Ticket Plan book. I think Disney was counting on that..
I'm licking my chops for those six 1956 flyers! ;-p Thanks, Major.
