All Inclusive Passports

In 1982, Disneyland introduced the all inclusive ticket or "passport". For people who still had old A through E ticket media, a credit system was implemented whereby A tickets were worth 1 point, B tickets were worth 2 points, C tickets were worth 3 points, D tickets were worth 4 points, and E tickets were worth 5 points. Up to 50 points could be applied toward the purchase of the new all-inclusive passports, which was equivalent to $5.00 off the regular price.

In 1983, Disneyland introduced the first Annual Passports to Magic Kingdom Club members only.

In 1984, Disneyland introduced the Annual Passport to the general public.
