Back when Disneyland sold individual tickets for different attractions, there were small ticket booths scattered throughout the park. Guests could purchase ticket books, and different letter tickets corresponded with different types of rides or shows. Disneyland officially converted to day passes in 1982, making ticket books collectible antiques instead of valid park admission. Most of the ticket boothswere removed from the park shortly after the official switch to all-inclusive tickets, but two were just repurposed and remain inside Disneyland today.

Both of the former ticket booths can be found in Fantasyland. The first sits next to Alice In Wonderland, and serves an important purpose: it holds the sign for the attraction.

The second ticket booth is not far away, and also bears the sign of an attraction: the Storybook Land lighthouse.

Former Ticket Booths

Though both of these ticket booths are now sealed off, they are each little pieces of park history hiding in plain sight!

  1. First off, I agree with the above, and I’ve often handed a cast member a ticket to an attraction where it is no longer needed. Their reaction was laughter, and a refusal to take my treasure (a pirate refusing to take my treasure? Only at Disneyland).

  2. What would happen if you *as a prank* try to give the ride operator or a cast member an old E-ticket or A ticket for one of the rides that once used them then show your collection?

    Would anybody *get* the joke and remember or understand the reference?

    • Cast members are typically EXTREMELY well versed in Disneyland trivia. I would be shocked if you showed one of them an E-ticket and they didn’t get it. They’d probably think it was funny!
