"A Christmas Fantasy Parade" is an annual parade presented at Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The parade is a holiday parade that runs (usually) from the weekend before Thanksgiving until the Sunday after New Years. It debuted during the 1995 Holiday Season, replacing the "Very Merry Christmas Parade". The name of the parade was inspired by similar name at Tokyo Disneyland.
Earlier versions of the parade included Scrooge McDuck, Roger Rabbit, Max Goof, characters from Lilo & Stitch, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, Aladdin, and the elves were played by actual children instead of Cast Members, which likely changed due to child labor laws.
The current version of the parade used since 2008 described here has seven units, each consisting of at least one float. The following are descriptions of each of the seven units, described from the 2008 incarnation:
Opening
•Music Box - The title float, recycled from the title float from The World According to Goofy. It features a row of books, with a revolving music box containing a dancing ballerina, and a stuffed teddy bear behind them. Behind them is a reef with the parade's logo in the middle. The Disneyland logo appears on top.
•Toy soldiers - The Toy Soldiers from Babes in Toyland marching that play trumpets and snare drums, as well as bass drums and cymbols.
Santa's Mail Room
•Mail Room - Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Mrs. Claus greet guests in the mail room as the mailroom elves move right ahead, delivering the presents. Pluto sits up sits atop the roof of the mailroom, trying to place the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
