The Christmas Fantasy Parade

You know you’ve experienced Christmas at Disneyland when you’ve seen the Christmas Fantasy Parade. There’s something in it for every kind of Disneyland fan. Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their holiday outfits. Goofy and Pluto building a gingerbread house together. Dancing gingerbread men and short chubby little dancing snowmen. It’s all just so adorable. There are also plenty of classic moments like the rollerskating snowflakes, a couples dance in traditional Victorian era outfits, or good old Santa Clause riding a long in his sleigh, wishing guests all around a merry Christmas.

For me, I think my absolute favorite though are the toy soldiers. Classic and cute the same time, I love the mix of sounds between the music they’re planning, and the wood clop of their uniforms

There were a few changes this year. Instead of Max building the gingerbread house with Goofy, we get Pluto. And they’ve added the Frozen float to the mix, the that first appeared as an awkward lead in to the Soundsational parade.

The parade runs twice daily at 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm along the traditional parade route. The best viewing area is along Main Street. I captured this footage from the very beginning of Main Street in front of the magic shop, facing the Christmas tree. But there are some other hidden gems. If the parade is starting from Small World, a seat at the hub facing the Matterhorn is a particularly good spot. And if you’re catching the show late, there’s always the area in front of the Matterhorn, across from the Tea Cups. And best of all, this years parade was captured in amazing 4K quality with the sun slowly setting in the background. Loving this!
