Collide’s Retro Closet: A History of Disney World in Tickets
It’s funny how things change over the years and Disney World is a great example of trends in innovation. They are never behind the times, especially in their ticketing, so enjoy these examples of Disney World tickets since 1975:
In 1975 they still used the “E” ticket system, and whoever had this ticket (no it wasn’t ours) certainly took advantage of those big rides, but clearly wasn’t as impressed with the “A” tickets because they left them all in the book:
These two tickets are from the late 80′s – early 90′s era:
Around the mid 90′s Disney World went high tech and started automating everything, even tickets (third one above). From then on, your plastic ticket has been your room key, credit card, park ticket and just recently your way to a fast pass.
We can only guess that the next new ticket will involve computer chips and mobile phones. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Until next time,
