Great post, VDT! Funny though...I'm working on a post about July 17th, 1980 right now! However, mine isn't going to be anywhere near as thorough as yours.
I LOVE that L.A. Times supplement. I remember the day that came out in the newspaper!
I just came across your post searching for things on Disneyland's 25th Anniversary. My grandmother passed away in November so while going through her "treasures" we came across a ticket book for her trip to Disneyland in 1980. So being that I'm the big Disney fan in the family, my mother gave me the tickets for a keepsake. I enjoyed your post!

You're Invited to a 25 Hour party!!! July 17, 1980. For Disneyland's first really big anniversary they had a grand 25 Hour Party to celebrate 25 years! 25 continuous hours at Disneyland!

Here's a pair of those 25 Hour Party tickets. Notice the stubs are detached, but were retained. Free parking too!

One free meal was included with each ticket. It's eggs, bacon and pancakes at the Riverbelle Terrace for me!

I still have that L.A. Times supplement from when it came out! Cool that you have the party hat and (of course) the tickets too.
