Disneyland/world used to require purchasing tickets for its various rides which were graded with letters of the alphabet. The lower grade/less expensive rides had grades like C or D. Top of the line rides needed the more expensive E tickets. I believe they did away with that system many years ago and the Park admission price covers everything. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could cash in unused tickets when you left. Or you could throw them in a drawer at home and bring them the next time you went, they didn't expire.E tickets were for the really fun and most popular rides:Also, unknown to many people, since they had a monetary value, you could combine lower value tickets to make a higher value ticket. The photos are of tickets from various times so the cost printed on the tickets don't align well, but you could take, let's say a C and 3 A tickets to make up an E ticket.
