1988 Disneyland gold (pictures)

[Mickey_777]

So I struck gold last night going thru some old family photos. I knew we had some pictures of our first ever trip to a Disney park but had no idea some of them were this intersting. First off, let's start with the best thing I found...

Yessir...$23.50 for a one day "passport". Nice.

Getting out of the canary yellow tram.

What is now the Esplanade with Disneyland Hotel in the background.

Entering Disneyland Park on December 29th, 1988.

Couple shots of Main Street.

TBC...

Oh my goodness, wow. These are some great photos! I have an old passport from the 80's as well. Too bad we probably can't use them now. $23.50. Must have been nice to get in for that price. Disneyland was still beautiful. It's funny seeing the characters and how they looked back then. Thanks for posting!

We have a dedicated thread for WDW pictures from the 80's. You should post these over there.

Does your old passport ticket look anything like this one/mine? I agree the characters back in the day looked "lower quality" than they do now.

Especially given the size of the castle out at DL.

Yes, pretty much, only mine is green and instead of Goofy at the top, the castle replaces it. At the top it says, "Adult Passport Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom Club to Disneyland." Mine is from 1980.
