As a seasoned Disney enthusiast who has spent countless hours (and dollars) traversing the magical realms of Mickey and friends, I must say that Sabrina King’s story left me in awe! To think that a ticket from 1985 could still grant you entry to the Happiest Place on Earth is nothing short of miraculous.
As a devoted fan of Disneyland, I must admit that the cost of tickets is steep and seems to remain unyielding. Recently, I splurged on purchasing my own entrance pass, and let me tell you, a trip to this magical realm can truly empty one’s wallet! If someone were to gift me a ticket, free of charge, I would seize the opportunity with both hands, irrespective of the age of the ticket. After all, who wouldn’t want to step into the Happiest Place on Earth without worrying about the expense?
39 years ago, Scott King won the Disneyland Passport, which he found by passing through the turnstiles during Disneyland’s 30th anniversary celebration. At that time, the park was giving away various prizes to lucky visitors, even a car. Compared to those other prizes, King’s award, tickets to Disneyland worth $16.50 in 1985, may seem less valuable.
Instead of keeping the ticket for personal use, King saved it in a keepsake album as a souvenir. However, years later, his daughter Sabrina became her high school’s valedictorian. Intrigued, King offered the ticket to Sabrina, wondering if it still had value. If successful, it would grant a free day at Disneyland. Initially skeptical, Sabrina decided to try using the old ticket, and surprisingly, it worked.

It’s not uncommon for people, including Sabrina King, to try using vintage Disney Parks tickets from decades ago this year. If you happen to have an old Disneyland or Walt Disney World ticket, be aware that these tickets might still be valid. We’ve found out that the parks will indeed accept them.
A free ticket to Disneyland is a pretty amazing graduation gift. If nothing else, it frees up your funds to spend money on other things. Not having to spend $100 to get in means more cash for the best food at Disneyland, or having the money to spend on Lightning Lanes so you don’t have to wait in as many lines.
As a devoted Disney enthusiast, I’ve noticed something intriguing about the tickets for both Disneyland and Disney World: While modern Disneyland admission tickets come with an expiration date, meaning they can’t be used beyond a specific timeframe, this isn’t the case with the original tickets. For instance, the ticket I won at Disneyland and my Disney World passes don’t have such limitations. If a ticket doesn’t explicitly mention when it expires, then it stays valid indefinitely. Surprisingly, both Disneyland and Disney World accept these everlasting passes!
Although Disneyland doesn’t reveal many details, it’s highly probable that the ticket granted the girl a single day visit to Disneyland Park. Since Disney California Adventure wasn’t established until 1985, it’s safe to assume that the park hopper pass would have cost the same as it does now.
Absolutely, by employing the antiquated ticket, Scott King unknowingly parted ways with a treasured memento. It’s intriguing to ponder its value, given that many individuals might be willing to pay a substantial sum for such an unique Disneyland anniversary prize. Possibly, they could have sold it and made enough to purchase a fresh ticket and even more.
