Walt Disney World - Readmission Ticket
We've seen a few Disneyland "Readmission Tickets" (link) on the blog but this is the first Walt Disney World "Readmission Ticket" I've seen or posted. It's undated but since its the larger size ticket it must be from the early 1970's.

Preferred parking at Disneyland - 1996
Do they still have preferred parking at Disneyland? I'm thinking they don't. This 1996 preferred parking ticket may have been for annual pass holders that got to park in the front part of the old parking lot. I think that's what its was for but I'm not sure. Any know for certain?

Disney Employee Group Insurance - 1975
This Disney employee insurance program booklet from 1975 sure is amazing. How many of us wishes we had insurance like this? No only does it provide excellent coverage but Disney pays the entire cost of the basic insurance!

Rohm & Haas Reporter - 1961
Welcome to Magazine Monday. Rohm & Haas was a leading supplier of chemicals for the paper industry and Plexiglas. They're still around (link) but as of 2001 they are a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. The cover of this September – October 1961 edition of Rohm & Haas Reporter features some cool little Plexiglas shapes.
This five page article on Disneyland is a bit of a recycle from the large format guide books of the late 1950’s, but still has some fun photos and is a great read.
You mean to tell me those crocodiles aren’t real?
Lots of technical stuff about Acrylic emulsions and formulas. Today’s paint at Disneyland looks amazing, almost like its still in liquid form - now I’m thinking they’ve been using high tech paints for decades.
The Living Desert really was a Painted Desert! Hey, there’s talk about the slurry in Tomorrowland (blue) and Fantasyland (green). All this time I’ve been calling it slurry when it’s really just “Acrylic-based paint”. Whatever its called I want it back!
There are no advertisements in this trade magazine so you’re going to learn about chemicals. If I’m not mistaken the reason this magazine has aged so well is explained right here.
Those Plexiglas models look fun to play with, I wonder what it sounds like if they all hit the floor at once?.
Apparently Dan River used chemical in its fabrics, who knew? I’m not sure about the ladies, but the men’s clothes look cool and contemporary to me.
In the early 70’s we had a dry cleaners at the corner of Fallbrook & Victory (attached to the Food King) they had a Plexiglas ball exactly like the one shown here, it always reminded me of Wonder Bread.

Walt Disney World - January 2, 1976
Are you ready to spend some time at Walt Disney World? Let's park the car first.
January 2, 1976 - could it really be 35 years ago?
Here's your handy parking lot flyer detailing your ticket choices.
Your calendar of holiday events in the Magic Kingdom.
If you're lucky your travel agent or hotel provided you with some of these Courtesy Guest ticket books, good for any 5 adventures in the Magic Kingdom.
While these tickets are good for any attraction, they do look a little drab, sort of like a 1975 AMC product.
Nice attraction lineup.
Now a few pages from the January 1976 edition of "The World News".
And lastly if you've got some spare time on your Florida trip be sure and check out NASA!

Happy New Year - 2000
Happy New Year Everyone! This GIANT Disneyland Team 2000 commemorative passport just barely breaks my "if it starts with a 19 its vintage" rule, but just by one day! Here's the ticket in its envelope, can you tell whats inside?
This ticket is unnecessarily huge measuring in at 13 3/4" by 4". I'm convinced they made them in these giant sizes so that you'd be embarrassed to use them!
When I first got this ticket I thought "Wow, Cynthia Harriss signed it" but upon closer inspection her signature appears to be printed on the ticket. Here's the big question, would this ticket be worth more or less if she actually signed it?
Come back tomorrow for a Special New Years at Walt Disney World 1976 post and a follow up on the 1975 Backstage Disneyland Magazine.
