The Original Admission price to Disneyland & 1st Ticket Book

Q: How much was the original admission price to Disneyland, and when were the ticket books introduced?
Jackie, El Cajon, California 

A [Dave Smith]: The original main gate admission price was one dollar, but that just got one in the gate. Guests had to pay at each individual attraction in the park. Ticket books were first issued on October 11, 1955.

           The first ticket to Disneyland was bought by Roy O. Disney, who for decades kept it in the top desk drawer of his office. It's shown here as a preserved artifact in the Disney Archive. (Christina House/Los Angeles Times)
