EPCOT Center Opening Day Commemorative Adult Walt Disney World Ticket UNUSED - 3 Day Pass with Envelope
Back in September of 1982, with just a month until the grand opening of EPCOT Center, commemorative tickets were available for purchase on Main Street USA, in the Magic Kingdom’s EPCOT Center Preview Center, and at the EPCOT Center Monorail Station, home of preview monorail tours of the almost completed construction site.
Back then, these tickets were only $30, and they bought you exclusive access to the new theme park. Today, these tickets are one of the most highly desired pieces of EPCOT ephemera on the market and are a great time piece back to the exciting days preluding EPCOT’s debut.
Current pricing on a 3 Day Park Hopper is $346.13. You can redeem the stub for a 3 day park hopper and still keep the collectible ticket!
