Hey, all!

For those of you old enough to remember, what was reaction when Magic Kingdom (and Disneyland) did away with ride tickets in the early 1980s?

If you're unfamiliar with ride tickets, Disneyland and Magic Kingdom used to include only specific attractions with a general admission park ticket, and would sell tickets to attractions in five categories (including examples):

A - vehicles that cruised Main Street
B - the Frontierland Shooting Gallery
C - Peter Pan's Flight, Dumbo and Mad Tea Party
D - Hall of Presidents
E - Haunted Mansion
