History of the Original Disneyland E Tickets

In Disneyland’s earlier days, coupon books were sold with ride tickets. These tickets went from A coupons, for the most mild rides and attractions in the park, up to E, which indicated that this was a must see or do exciting attraction.
The E ticket was introduced by Walt Disney in 1959. The adult price for one coupon was fifty cents. A picture in the book, Disney the First 100 Years, shows one of the first E tickets and explains how the ticket is good for one of the following rides.
At Main Street it could be used to board the SF & D Railroad Trains. In Tomorrowland, guests could enjoy an undersea journey on Submarine Voyage or ride the Monorail or SF & D Railroad Trains. For coaster fun, the Matterhorn Bobsleds certainly earned their spot in E ticket history.
Frontierland offered another opportunity to board the SF & D Railroad Trains along with Mine Train thru Nature’s Wonderland and Pack Mules thru Nature’s Wonderland. The last place an original E ticket could be used was in Adventureland on the Jungle Cruise.
Over time other rides and attractions were added such as Pirates of the Caribbean. Finally, the time of E tickets came to an end when a single admission price to the park was introduced which included all rides and attractions.
