Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and will be turning 68 years old on July 17, 2023. The ticket prices have increased dramatically since the year the park opened. When Disneyland first opened to the park you would pay both a fee to enter and then pay a ticket for each attraction that you wanted to ride. Many cite these original Disneyland tickets as a great lesson in keeping personal finances and saving their varying levels of tickets for the best rides.
