Original opening day ticket from Epcot 35 years ago! Happy Birthday Epcot!

[ExCMbeau]

Happy 35th Birthday EPCOT! My wife was fortunate enough to go when it opened with her family. Her father worked at Exxon and the story that was told to me was that Exxon was a sponsor of Epcot so he got tickets. We found the tickets years ago and they were in GREAT shape. We had them framed and we proudly display them in our home. These tickets are now 35 YEARS OLD!


If you want to see a video of them in the frame and what they look like from a size perspective see below:

We got very lucky. The ticket were in an envelope between some photo albums. We knew had to frame them once we saw what great condition they were in.

That serial number is interesting as well - though I'm sure it can't be taken too literally in terms of park attendance.

Thank you so much. I love being able to share my Disney moments with everyone. I was really worried that old Epcot tickets would be a little too nerdy.

No better people than Disney nerds, my friend @ExCMbeau.

Not too nerdy! Awesome!

Awesome. I have some pretty cool things that only die hard Disney nerds like. I want to get some time to document my opening day Magic Kingdom map which is just amazing. I also have old menus from Hoop Dee Do. Ticket books when rides were tickets. Some other neat items. We are just now getting around to framing and preserving them.

I still have two unused tickets in their original silver envelope. Get this...cost for a 3 day pass to visit both parks..
$30.00! Some day I will present these at the ticket Window..lol.

My parents bought a bunch of tickets back in the '70s and '80s. I'll have to dig through my dad's dresser next time I visit and see if there are any still in there.

I wonder what the procedure would be for showing up with these tickets?
