Disney has recreated some of the floats from Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade as scented pins in the “Disney Festive Floats” collection now available at Walt Disney World. We found the new limited edition pins at Pin Traders in EPCOT, but they should be available at pin locations throughout the resort
Disney Festive Floats Wreck-it-Ralph Pin – $22.99
Best friends Wreck-it-Ralph and Vanellope Von Schweetz are depicted on this pin. Vanellope is driving a gingerbread version of her racecar while Ralph waves from a gingerbread house float. The pin has puffy silicone detailing for snow and glitter on Vanellope’s car.
Vanellope still appears driving her car in Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, but Ralph’s last appearance was in the 2022 parade. In 2023, Clarice the Chipmunk replaced Ralph on the gingerbread house float. Below are photos of Vanellope in the parade this year and Ralph in 2022.
Disney Festive Floats Toy Soldiers Pin – $22.99
The next pin features two of the parade’s classic Toy Soldiers. One has a drum and one is marching. The red of their outfits features sparkles. Behind them is the gift float, featuring two oversized presents with silicone bows.
The Toy Soldiers are a mainstay of the Christmas parade at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The gift float follows them, as pictured below, separating the toy unit from the reindeer.
The parade is usually performed in the evenings and elements of the gift float will light up.
Disney Festive Floats Goofy Pin – $22.99
The next pin depicts Goofy standing on the porch of a gingerbread house. He’s dressed in a baker’s outfit with a white sparkly coat and puffy hat.
Goofy appeared on the gingerbread house float during the 2021 version of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, although he usually drives the candy float. Goofy also appears on a gingerbread float in A Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland.
Disney Festive Floats Olaf Pin – $22.99
This pin depicts Olaf on the stone steps of his Nordic-style house float. It’s brown with sparkly green walls and plants in flowerbeds. White beds of silicone snow are on the rooftops and steps.
Olaf has appeared on this house float since “Frozen” characters were added to the parade in 2014. Before then, Scrooge McDuck or Donald and Daisy appeared on the house float.
All the above pins have a limited edition size of 4500.
Disney Festive Floats Pin Set – $140
This set includes the four above pins, plus a pin of Mickey and Minnie on their lead Christmas tree float. The pins come in a green display box with a red background. Mickey and Minnie are depicted looking at each other from atop circular platforms, in front of a Christmas tree featuring silicone baubles and a star topper. It has a limited edition size of 1500.
Mickey and Minnie have appeared on this float since the parade began, although they used to wear Santa and Mrs. Claus-inspired outfits. Duffy the Disney Bear also appeared on the float with them from 2011 – 2014.
