Disnephemera

A searchable archive of Disney paper items we have collected & digitized!

Welcome to Disnephemera!

Quick Access: Archive Masterlist

What’s Disnephemera? Simply put: Disney ephemera. For those who don't know, ephemera is used to describe items that were intended for one-time use, or are often discarded, but were collected & preserved (often paper items!). Think things like tickets, maps, advertising papers, etc.

This is a searchable archive. Start your search HERE.

The eventual goal is to scan & upload everything I have, using keyword tags on each item so if you're researching something specific, you can easily find it! A lot of things I receive though are undated or unidentified so I am trying my best to tag & link everything in the appropriate masterlists!

This is not an official page affiliated with Disney, its company, its products, employees, or any other entity. I'm just a collector of stuff! I have amassed quite a collection of paper items through auctions, estate sales, and other places that I want to digitize & preserve for all to enjoy! The views and opinions expressed on this blog do not represent or reflect those of The Walt Disney Company or other affiliated subsidiaries.

I'd love to hear if you have anything you want to contribute, or if you have questions for us, we'll try to help when we can! Leave any asks here or feel free to message us! Corrections/additions to post information is greatly appreciated too!

Old Walt Disney World Pamphlets!

No clue when these are from as they came in a mixed bag of things from all eras of WDW, but thought I would share anyway!

These first two papers are both blank on the back. I imagine they probably came with some kind of vacation package that arrived with MagicBands or something prior to a family's vacation since they're about traveling.

Here's Disney's Magical Express (rip) and Phone Safety Tips:

I remember the Magical Express so fondly and that was such a beautiful unpaid perk of being a resort guest. I also didn't know that you had to fly with a specific airline for you to qualify to use it! I always loved seeing my bags magically appear at the end of a long day though.

Here we have a double-sided timetable from March 30 - April 5 2008, and a Disney Vacation Club special offer:

March/April 2008 seems like it was a fun time to be at WDW! Also, a $500 gift card is huge but I'm sure a drop in the bucket if you have DVC property money lol!

The Rescuers at Disneyland

The Rescuers at Disneyland

Here's Bernard and Miss Bianca outside of The Mad Hatter store on Main Street U.S.A.!

This photo arrived to me undated, and with a bunch of other mixed photos so I don't really have any further information; my best guess based on the clothes and the yellowing of the photo from age, is this likely would have been in 1977 around the time the movie was released! Could also be around the time the sequel released in 1990, but I would guess it's the former.

Does anyone remember seeing them in the parks back in the day? I know in recent years they have appeared at Sweetheart Nights and things!

Disney Tickets: Magic Kingdom 2-Day Passports

I finagled these tickets out of a scrapbook as carefully as I could because they're so cool to look at! The stamp clearly was not working on the days they were there but I believe these to be from June 29th and July 3rd in 1981/ The tickets were not in great shape after this family's days of fun in the parks but they survived so we can see them!

Here's two junior passes:

I love the castle graphic on these. I can't imagine trying not to lose your ticket all day on rollercoasters and things though! As you can see, the first one had completely lost its string. Also, I think the writing on the back indicates where their car was parked in the lot!!

Here's two adult passes:

Much neater than the tickets we saw above, haha.

Lastly, here's a child ticket:

I was able to find this facebook post of someone else's ephemera with pricing for 2-day passports! Adults were $22.50 for two days, Juniors were $20.50 (ages 12-17 only), and the Child pass was $18.50 (3-11 years old).

(if you're curious, adjusted for inflation, the adult pass would be $81.81 which is a far cry from current ticket prices, although we do have a lot more available in WDW today than back then.)

A Trip to Disney World!

Here's a lot of photos I pulled from a scrapbook of someone's visit to the parks!

I believe the parade is Disney's Magical Moments parade that ran from 1996 to 2001. But, I narrowed down the date of these pictures even further when I found the Doug Live picture, as that was running in MGM Studios from 1999 to 2001! What a fun time to be at the parks.

Disneyland Ticket Books

I've had these booklets for quite a while, and while they each only have one ticket left, they're still cool!

Here's the child admission:

Based on the attractions, I'd say that these are from sometime when Country Bear Jamboree opened in March 1972 and when Flight to the Moon closed in January 1975. I always thought the ticket books and lettering system were pre-1970s but I guess not!

Here's the adult admission:

(I have to say, I like the yellow way more.)

Take note of these prices by the way! $7.25 for a child and $10.65 for an adult... one can only dream of that now lol.

More small paper pieces coming soon! I'm still having issues with getting my large page scans to play nice with tumblr unfortunately.
