Disney Admission Fee

Decent Essays
Prices started at a cost of USD$1.00 for admission and from there you had to purchase extra tickets for the rides which cost 10-75 cents each. You could also purchase an 8-ride pass which cost $2.50. Charging an admission fee was unheard of for theme parks and this showed that Walt Disney wanted to differentiate from the standard amusement park and prove that his Disneyland was far superior.
