The third Magic Key-exclusive lenticular card celebrating 30 years of A Christmas Fantasy Parade is now available at Disneyland Resort.
A Christmas Fantasy Parade Collectible Cards
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.
There are two bakers and two gingerbread cookies shown on the card. They are all dancing around the recipe book for gingerbread cookies. The book reads, “A spoonful of Sugar, A dash of Cinnamon & Spice & Everything Nice, A cup of Hope and Happiness, A sifting of Kindness, A splash of Yuletide Dream, Lots of Laughter. Mix ingredients together with tender loving care. Bake in a warm & cozy oven. Share this delightful treat with everyone you meet!“
The “fun fact” on the back of the card tells us when the Christmas Fantasy Parade debuted.
Debuted in 1995, A Christmas Fantasy Parade is the longest running holiday parade at Disneyland.
First and Second Card
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 lenticular aspect has the ballerina on top of the music box changing position and the soldiers marching down Main Street. 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 four snowmen featured are Agnes in the pink pillbox hat, Lilian with the eyelashes and yellow scarf, Burt with his green winter hat and purple scarf, and Skip in the yellow fishing hat. The group dances around a Christmas tree, as they do in the parade.
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.
