How in the world did you get one of these? It does not indicate admission to the park, maybe there was special seating for the parade that required one of these tickets? Was Walt at this event?
Below is a ticket for December 18, 1976, complimentary of course. Fantasy on Parade ran thru the 1976 holiday season and was replaced for 3 years with “The Very Merry Christmas Parade” which was featured in yesterday’s post. Fantasy on Parade would return in 1980.
A great 1975 Photo of Fantasy on Parade courtesy of Daveland, here a link to Daves post with several photos of the parade (link). Thanks Dave!
It seems clear the parade started in 1965, why did the Disneyland Collectors Series cards place it in 1964? Maybe because they wanted the “Tencennial” on the 1965 card?
If you want to see the entire parade on film from 1972 here’s a post from last Christmas on Micechat that has links to the parade in 4 parts. It super fun to watch (Link). Thanks MerlinJones!

I'm about to post a bunch of Fantasy on Parade photos that are probably from around 1965!
I attended what I believed at the time to be the premiere showing of the 1965 Disneyland Christmas Parade, and it was on Saturday night, November 28, 1965. Mr. Disney was the grand marshall, and many, many screen personalities were in the parade, including Fred MacMurray, Annette Funicello, Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleschette, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran, and on and on.
We met Mr. Disney the next morning while we were eating breakfast at Aunt Jemima's.
