Fantasy on Parade was an annual parade that ran at Disneyland from 1965 to 1976, and again from 1980 to 1986. A similar version ran at Walt Disney World Resort from 1982 to 1988.
History[]
Unlike Disneyland's previous Christmas parades, Fantasy on Parade was conceived to be a "show on parade" in which the various units would occasionally stop along the parade route to perform dances and routines for the guests.
The parade consisted of various units featuring characters and elements from Walt Disney's animated film classics, which would vary throughout the years with new units and characters based on more recent films.
This parade is noteworthy as it contained Pete's only known pre-2023 Disney Parks appearance. He drove a dog-catcher vehicle.
In 1966, to celebrity the It's a Small World attraction coming to Disneyland after two years in 1964 New York World's Fair, some giant-sized of It's a Small World Dolls were appeared in this parade. This is the first parade that featured It's a Small World, before Main Street Electrical Parade many years later.
