Reverse Sticker Shock- Reminiscing about historic ticket prices

[crazymomof4]

I was just digging through momentos from previous WDW trips and came across an Adult 5 Day "World Passport" from 1986! The price was $88!!
I know, I know. That was before they added MGM and the AK and the 2 new waterparks, etc., etc. so we are getting a lot more for our admission price now. I'm not complaining so much as reminiscing.
Just makes me chuckle to think that even back then people were saying "Disneyworld is sooo expensive!".
I'll bet there are some real Dis Veterns out there who remember even lower prices.
Remember when Disney parks used tickets? Each attraction required a certain number of tickets, much like carnival and boardwalk rides do. That was a pain!

My M & D still have the coupon books from the "70's".

They took them back with them hoping to use them in 1997.
They discovered very quickly the tickets had more sentimental value than $$$ value so they kept them.

That brings back memories. A couple of years ago I was looking through an old camera bag and came across a ticket book for DL that still had a couple of "A" tickets in it

We have some letter ticket books from 1972 that cost 7.00 including tax. I think we still have some D tickets too.
