Physical Size of ticket books

[d_lairson]

I'm working up something fun for our 40th anniversary trip and I wanted to do up a ticket book. Does anyone know what the physical dimensions of the ticket books from the 1970's!

Here is a pic of the souvenir anniversary ticket notepads they are selling and the ENTIRE package is described as being 8x12 inches. Maybe that will help you guesstimate.

I think that may be a little generous on the size though...may be talking about the shipping box now that I think about it.

look on ebay and see if you can find any for sale and see if dimensions are in the descriptions

About 2 1/2 inches by 6 inches. The tickets were staggered, meaning the E tickets were shorter than the A tickets.

I have the magnets on my fridge, so I measured them. Not sure if they're to scale or not, but they are all 1 7/8" tall. The widths are A) 4 13/16", B) 4.5", C) 4 3/16", D) 3 7/8", E) 3 5/8".

Hope that helps. I can take a picture, too, if you need one.

I kind of winged it.. Basically to get the best fit between looks and saving paper.

What I'm doing is creating a packet of tickets that we can use when we go on the 1st to ride all the rides that were open on Oct 1, 1971 and are still open today.

If anyone wants to look at or use the ticket book, I made a PDF for download and it can be found here

It's not much, but just a little fun my family was going to have. Some of the names have changed so I'm going to see if they can get all the correct rides before running out of tickets!

This is a really cute idea - thanks for the link

About the size of a wrapped Twix bar.

Fun idea! If only there *were* enough E tickets to ride all the E ticket rides back when they had the ticket books! It was always such a tough decision on which to go on...

I have two full ticket books from Disneyland one from the first year they used them and another from 1960 something (NO POTC but flying Saucers on the one not sure of the other one just pulled out the adult version). I'm not sure if there's a huge difference between the parks (since the 'notepad' ticket look alike from WDW shows the tickets E through A and the Disneyland version was A-E)but
The book from binding to edge on the cover is 2.5 inches wide by 6 inches long. The tickets (as best I can measure since they are attached to the .5 inch binding and tear off) is E ticket longest at 5.5 inches going down in size by about .25 inches per ticket, maybe a bit more.

Oh and the one book is an Adult's book which included admission and 10 rides (so this one may be from a bit later) and the price was 3.95 (a $5.65 value)
Also we went the first year but I don't remember the cost (too little to remember something so trivial as cost)
