The Ticket Books Nobody Talks About

When Walt Disney World opened in 1971, your $3.50 ticket did not include a single ride. You bought an A through E coupon book, and the headliners cost you an E ticket. That is where the phrase "an E-ticket ride" came from, and 55 years later Disney is still charging you to skip to the front of the good stuff, just with a different colored ticket.
In this episode, Joey tells the story of the coupon books and how a piece of theme-park pricing became part of the English language. Then Brock breaks down the 2026 version: date-based tickets, the Park Hopper add-on, and the honest math on Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Single Pass, and Premier Pass, so you know exactly when paying to skip the line is worth it and when it is not.
