The new tickets...

Your ticket to the dream

Back in the "good old days", the ever-changing designs of the park passports was always a fun element of each visit to the resort, giving a sense of something new and different about each visit - and something nice to sell on eBay all these years later! With the introduction of a more modern ticket system in 2002, generic tickets became the norm for the past five years. Now, for the 15th Anniversary, they're finally shaking it up again...

The new park tickets were announced at the Cast Member Rendez-Vous event earlier this month, and now the designs of the eight different new passport designs have been released. Each ticket option, Park Hopper and 1-Day/1-Park, will have four different designs, each featuring a different graphic from the set of fifteen candle-holding characters we've grown to recognise over the past six months.



The characters chosen to feature are Dumbo, Pinocchio and Pluto, with the fourth design presenting the full set of characters surrounding the large gold "15". Unfortunately, the same set of designs are re-used for each ticket type, with colours and text changed, perhaps making the collection a little less exciting than if a larger number had been used. As reported earlier, Passe-Partout (Park Hopper) tickets are gold, whilst 1-Jour/1-Parc tickets are purple.





One noticable addition to these tickets is the text on the front. Early tickets simply featured the Disneyland Paris logo, whilst those from the past five years simply featured either the Passe-Partout logo or, for the 1-Day/1-Park, a set of Mickey ears. Whilst strange to see the text is presented only in French rather than the usual French/English combination, this should make it much easier for guests - and Cast Members - to see at a glance which ticket they have.

The tickets are expected to begin use on 1st April 2007, the official start of the 15th Anniversary Celebration, and will be used throughout the entire Anniversary year. Then, in March 2008, we'll almost certainly get another new design - good news for collectors (and eBay sellers) !

Ah well, I was hoping for a ticket with just Cheshire on it, but I'll be happy with the group pic since he's on that. :cry: I'm so happy/excited that Cheshire is among these chosen candle-holding characters. The pictures of him in the brochure are so beautiful, and I'm sure the statue of him on the castle will be just as great! I'M SO BLOODY EXCITED!

:lol: Roll on June!

I saw these earlier in the month and was impressed the modern, minimalist design. They are very nice.

Though it does look like Pluto is setting his own ear on fire.

Looking great!! I loved those tickets, it was indeed that little extra magic! Good to have them back, for now?

[DisneyBud]

I liked the tickets when they were credit card like, now they're card, correct? Are the 15th ones going to be plastic or card?

Though it does look like Pluto is setting his own ear on fire.

Hehe - I've heard that so many times now.

I liked the tickets when they were credit card like, now they're card, correct? Are the 15th ones going to be plastic or card?

Card, I think.  If only because I think all the ticket printing machines can only print card tickets, but also these designs have square edges, when the (much nicer, like you say) plastic ones were rounded.

I love the font they're using these days, for the "billet.." part on these tickets.  It's modern but fits with the "magical" design.

[Masamune]

:lol: Pinocchio is a fire hazard, being made out of wood and being exposed to a naked flame like that.

[Anthony]

LOL! :lol:

That's a point though - these characters messing around with candles isn't teaching kids good fire safety now, is it?  Maybe they need to print a disclaimer...   They'd never dare do it in the US!

[Soap]

Whahahahha  :lol:

[Masamune]

:roll: Characters like Goofy shouldn't be anywhere near dangerous things, and characters that are young like Pinocchio and Dumbo may not have been taught fire safety yet!

:lol: And am I the only one that can imagine Cheshire "accidently" setting the Castle on fire? Like how he "accidently" got Alice in trouble.

[Riebi]

Sure he can The problem is, most of the disney characters can do sth. like this "accidently"! Maybe they have chosen the staunchly ones: After the ceramony the castle is still standing. Perhaps on fire, but standing.

In case of other characters like stitch the hole resort will be a crater :wink:
