They stopped making these A-E tickets in the 80's in favor of credit-card style tickets.

You know all about buying discount disneyland tickets. Now you'll want to read these 10 tips for using them. Here you go!

1. Tickets expire 13 days after first use.

2. Early Entry, aka "Magic Mornings" allows you to enter Disneyland Park before the park opens to the public. It's only for people who have at least 3-Day ParkHoppers and it does not get you into the entire park early; just a few parts like ToonTown.

   Check your Disneyland tickets for the specific days. You generally get to choose among Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays.

3. "ParkHopper" tickets mean you can hop between Disneyland and California Adventure Park, EXCEPT the very cheapest ticket: the 1-day Disneyland-only ticket.

4. World of Color Admission is included with your Disneyland tickets.

5. Sharing Tickets: Disney's eTicket Terms & Conditions state, "Tickets are nontransferable and must be used by the same person on any and all days" But between you and me, I hear one ticket can be used by different people. Just not on the same day.

   For example, say you're going to Disneyland and have a friend in the area who wants to join you for a day. If one person in your family opts to stay home that day, your friend can use their ticket.

6. You can upgrade your ticket after you've started using it. For example, say you have a 3-day Park Hopper ticket and halfway into your trip, you decide that you would like to stay an extra day. Go to the Disneyland gate and upgrade to a 4-day ticket before it expires. You'll pay only the difference in price between the 3 and 4-day ticket, instead of paying much more for a one-day ticket.

   Same if you want to upgrade to an Annual Pass!

7. Lines 13, 20, or 21 move fastest at the Disneyland entrance. That being said, you will still spend some time in line, so get there early and give your toddlers something to do while you wait!

8. FastPasses will save you tons of time. It's a free ticket system within Disneyland that you will definitely want to use.

9. Avoid those cute lanyard ticket holders. You know, those ones that hang around your neck? They are notorious for snapping off and getting lost. Keep your tickets in a deep and/or zippered pocket instead.

10. Lost Tickets: On that note: Disney states they are not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. However, they also say that if you forget your Disney's eTicket, visit Guest Services at the Main Entrance Will Call window with the credit card used to purchase your tickets and a photo I.D. such as a driver's license or passport. They may be able to re-issue your tickets.
