ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
I still have some original Disneyland ticket books, from back before they had Passports -- some books are half-used and some are perfectly intact. Do these have value other than endless youth? It makes me feel like I'm 5 again when I look at the rides listed on these ABCD and E tickets.
