A Christmas Fantasy Parade Collectible Cards
The finale float with Santa’s Sleigh is the final card in the series. Two of the eight reindeer that pull the sleigh are featured in front of the float. Santa waves from his sleigh filled with toys. The North Pole is lit up behind him.
The “fun fact” on the back of the card tells us about rehearsals leading up to opening day:.
It takes 2 months of rehearsals to get the parade to opening day.
Other Cards in the Series
The first card, available on November 3, is based on the first float of the parade. The float is a stack of books used as a base for the Christmas wreath on top. The float is recycled from the 1992 “The World According to Goofy Parade.” It has been appearing in ACF since its inaugural season in 1995. The “fun fact” on the first card references the origin of the 12 toy soldiers from Walt Disney’s 1961 Babes in Toyland.
The second card in the set features the “Greetings From a Winter Wonderland” unit. This particular unit has been in the parade since 1995. While originally featured as the pre-finale unit, it changed to the second full unit in 2002, following the Mail Room. The “fun fact” on the back of the card features the updated parade statistics as of 2024; when two gingerbread cookies and a handful of elves were cut.
The third card in the series focuses on the “Recipe for Gingerbread Treats” unit. This unit gained Goofy and Max Goof in the year 2000. Goofy was in the parade prior, but got moved to the gingerbread house that year. The “fun fact” on the back of the card tells us when the Christmas Fantasy Parade debuted.
Location
The cards have been available at Disneyana in Disneyland Park and Kingswell Shop in Disney California Adventure. Disney originally announced the series with a social media video of a Christmas tree advent calendar, with the days 3, 10, 17, and 24 marked. Each of these doors opened to reveal a hand holding a candy cane, a snowman hand, a gingerbread hand, and Santa’s hand holding his hat.
