A Lesson in Annual Passport History: From 1971 to 1982, guests could purchase either ticket books or a general admission ticket (which was for park admission but did not include rides or attractions). In 1982, for example one could get a general admission ticket for $9.50. It would have been used primarily by locals who wanted to come to the park to eat in the restaurants, shop in the stores, and even sit on the benches and watch the people. A 10-ride ticket book was $11.50. With the demise of the ticket books in June, 1982, a passport, then costing $13.25, was the only offering. There were no more general admission tickets offered. Because of feedback from locals both in Orlando and in Anaheim who were dismayed over the loss of the general admission tickets, Disney decided to sell annual passports. The first ones at Walt Disney World were made available on September 28, 1982, at a cost of $100. The first ones at Disneyland were issued in June, 1983. - Courtesy of Dave Smith, Archive Director of the Walt Disney Archives
