Greatest Construction Show on Earth & Jumbo Tickets

Undated, but most likely from late 1958 or early 1959, this flyer told you of the Greatest Construction Show on Earth. More specifically it told you all the neat things you weren’t going to see on this visit, but lots of reason to come back! “Watch for announcement of the opening”.






Since these new attractions were on a grand scale, let’s look at some Jumbo Tickets from 1958! This a mixed set, the B and C tickets are from other ticket books, but you get the idea.









What a Jumbo deal! Three bucks for admission to Disneyland and 15 rides (hey aren’t they “attractions”)






When these say Jumbo, they mean Jumbo. These tickets are BIG. Here is a comparison for the “D” ticket over the years. From the top down; Today’s 1958 “D” ticket at ¢35, next from the early 60’s “D” at ¢45, then May 1971 “D” at ¢70 and bottom from September 1980. The magic shrinking “D” ticket!
