The Most Extravagant Year-long Party in History

From January 27, 1985, “The most extravagant Year-long Party in History is Happening Now”. “And the best has just begun”.






All kinds of great gifts to celebrate Disneyland’s 30th anniversary. Every 3,000,000th guest wins a new “Downsized” 1985 Cadillac Sedan De Ville.







Your best ways to see Disneyland. $15 for the day seems like a good deal. An even better deal is the Annual Admission Passport for $85! I think this is the earliest I’ve seem the annual passport in these flyers and the lowest price.






Here is a nice condition 1-day ticket from January 1985.








January 27, 1985 was a Sunday and that is reflected in the light entertainment schedule.






Don’t miss “Disneyland’s 30th Anniversary Celebration” An NBC-TV Special on Monday February 18, 8-10pm. Rats I missed that one, maybe I'll catch it soon...







Now for a fun “Souvenir Brochure” from General Motors. Did they park an ’85 Buick in front of the castle?






I had a 1985 Toronado similar to the one pictured below, I love Toronado’s; I’ve had a 1967 (my first car that I drove with my license at 16), 2 1968’s (one with the W-30 package), 2 1969’s (one with a floor shifter, console & bucket seats), a 1972, a 1977 and a 1985 that never ran right!






Another Buick, how about the Toronado or the Corvette?

I still have some stuff from the 30th anniversary. Hard to believe that it was almost 25 years ago! And I am sure that people considered $15 to be pretty expensive...

The font in that GM ad is KILLING me!

Looks like 1969 not 1984...
