This day in history

Good morning class. In today's lesson we will review famous events from previous July 17th's.

any one who said Disneyland gets 10 points. Yes, on 7/17/55, Disneyland opened it's magic gates. The first day it was not open to the public, just special guests and the media. When it opened to the public the next day, there was a charge to enter the park and they also sold coupon books with A through C coupons. As the better rides opened the books included D & E coupons. You could also buy the coupons individually. From what I remember, there were never enough E coupons and of course every thrill ride was referred to as an E Ticket ride from then on out (why I even remember using that phrase after I rolled our explorer)

In 1982, they went to the single admission. I can't remember what it was then but in 1999 a one day pass was $39.00. Today the same one park, one day pass is $63.00. The only reason I bring this up is on Saturday we are meeting little K for her first trip there. I don't know who is more excited, NK, CamiK, CaptK or moi. I know when we get there, little K will be beside herself.
