The "E" Ticket - Part 4 1970 to 1973

999 Ghosts have arrived at Disneyland, they've moved into the Haunted Mansion! Obviously this was an "E" ticket attraction from the beginning and still is today.

This May 1970 "E" ticket is the first ticket I can find with the Haunted Mansion listed. The Sailing Ship Colombia and the Mark Twain Steamboat have traveled to the "D" ticket, where they will remain thru the end of the lettered ticket.

The Mine Train is back on the "E" Ticket, where it will stay until arriving on the "D" ticket in June of 1974! Also, notice the ticket price increase to 85 cents! Side note: Adult and Junior tickets always showed the same individual ticket price (even though the Junior book was cheaper than the Adult book), only the child's tickets showed the lower amounts.

This Child's "E" ticket is from September 1970, the only change from May 1970 is the absence of the Pack Mules thru Natures Wonderland. It's not listed in the back of the ticket book either, was it gone for the Winter, it comes back next year.

And last today, from April 1973, this is the last of the larger style tickets. A final appearance for the Pack Mules thru Nature's Wonderland, packing up for good... And what's this? A NEW land for Disneyland! "Bear Country" add's a sixth realm to "E" ticket, making for plenty of choices. The Country Bear Jamboree is all new, and it's one of the attractions I sorely miss, there was NO reason to removed this attraction, don't even get me started about that stupid pooh ride that belongs in Toontown!

Here is the "Adventures in Disneyland" attraction list from the back of the April 1973 book. WOW, this is the Disneyland of my childhood, can I go back to Disneyland of 1973 for just one afternoon???

This is the back cover of the April 1973 book. This is the last of the larger size book and last of the better quality paper and dual color printing. 1974 brings thin non-glossy single color back covers!

Mom is visiting for the Holiday's so I'm going to skip a few days of blogging. Fear not, I shall return soon with the final part of the "E" Ticket series!
