When I lived in California sometimes we went to DL on all
day tickets, even though they
were still using ticket books at the time.
I think my mom got them thru the Magic Kingdom Club.
Anyway since not
everybody had the all day tickets you had to show it
when you got on rides. So we'd buy pins
and pin them on I still have several of these pins
I also have
some large wall maps of DL these are
to big for me to scan at the library. but I have a photo
of the one that I do have framed and will try to get
better pics of all 3. The one I have framed
is the only one I didn't actually buy at the park.
I picked it up at a garage sale. It's a 1963 and has
as many coming attractions as actual
ones.
On it at the
lower end
of Main Street Liberty Street is shown, with featuers
such as the US Capitol In Miniature,
Declaration Of Independence Diorama, Hall Of Presidents
(at that time they were still thinking of it as a diorama of
waxworks presidents) and of course
Colonial Shoppes, Glass Shoppe,
Blacksmith, Paul Reveres Silver Shoppe, and the Boston
Observer Print Shoppe. Up
at the other end of Main Street is Edison Square the
begining of the idea for the Carousel of Progress. In this
early version the stages sat
in the buildings around the square and the audience
would walk from theatre to theater. The other coming
attractions on this map were The
Haunted Mansion, and New Orleans Square with the
Blue Bayou Mart, Theives, Mart, and the Pirates of the
Caribbean. Both the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean
were envisioned as walk-thrus at this time. In fact after
the 64-65 worlds fair debut of audio-animitronics and high rider turnover ride systems,
Walt saw Pirates of the Carribean shouldn't be
a walk through so removed
steel already in place for building foundations in
New Orleans Square and started from
scratch.
the 64-65 worlds fair was had several ride technology breakthroughs for Disney, Great Moments with
Mr. Lincoln featured the first realistic animatronic human figure, Its a Small World had the same high occupancy
ride system that eventually was used in pirates of the Caribbean.
Carousel of Progress had both animatronics and a unique guest loading/ viewing sytem,
and Fords Magic Skyway, which was the pre-cursor to the atom-mobile (Adventures through inner space),
Doom buggy (Haunted Mansion) and the WEDway pepolemover (Tomorrowland Transit Authority) it also included the
Primeval World dinosaurs, which eventually ended up in the diorama on the Disneyland Rail Road.
Much of the rest of this map is
Yesterland material.I also have a dial map
and several books on DL
