The collected bottle caps (or plastic liners) were to be affixed to a special game sheet--a map of Disneyland with 35 blank circles. There were different level prizes awarded dependent upon the number of completed sheets submitted. The top prize for five sheets included a free adult admission to the theme park and a ticket ride book!
One facebook individual shares his memories as a kid, running all over town searching for the caps in order to win free tickets to Disneyland: read here.
I'm wondering if they did this promotion again a few years later? I remember a contest like this, but I thought it was in the early seventies. I have most of the Disneyland related items from my childhood, but unfortunately that map is not one of them. :-(
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one Disneyland/Coke cap promotion. There definitely were multiple Disney bottle cap campaigns in countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina.
DeleteI've never seen the Disneyland bottle cap map. No one seems to have it online. Would love to add it to the post if it ever turns up.
I saw one at the Disneyana Convention in Anaheim a couple years ago. I should have snapped a pic of it!
DeleteI'm sure we'll come across another eventually.
DeleteI have the complete set of caps and a map from the Sunday funnies, and will be listing it on eBay soon.
ReplyDeleteHi hopey. If you'd like to share pics, we'd be happy to post them with a credit to you.
