Episode 96 of Disneyland For Designers we step into the heartwarming world of 'A Christmas Fantasy Parade.' This timeless holiday classic needs no introduction; you know the song, the characters, and even the sequence by heart. It's a moment of contagious holiday happiness, and for Disney enthusiasts, it's not truly the Holidays at Disneyland until you've witnessed its enchantment.

But as we take a closer look, we'll find that this cherished parade has been a little long in the sweet tooth. Celebrating its 28th year with only a few changes, it's a reminder that while the '90s may be making a comeback in fashion, not all aspects of that era hold up in design.

In this episode, discover why you might not actually want a new parade. A new parade would likely feel like your favorite movies wearing Santa hats, missing the essence of tradition that makes the holidays so special. 'A Christmas Fantasy Parade' is innocent and uniquely its own, existing solely in this time and space. It's a tradition that you can only find at Disneyland, making it an integral part of Disneyland's unique charm and Southern California's holiday traditions.

So, tune in and explore the heartwarming world of 'A Christmas Fantasy Parade' with us as we delve into the magic and design that makes it a cherished holiday tradition at the happiest place on earth!

This Week In Disney News is a weekly show hosted by Mark Brickey that covers the latest stories from the world of Disney. In Disneyland news, the "Magic Happens" parade has returned after a hiatus due to COVID-19, and Mickey's Toontown is preparing for its grand reopening with new updates and food options. The original Disneyland Resort engine, the C.K. Holliday, is also returning to service for visitors to experience.

ºoº HEY, BRICKEY! IMPORTANT INFO ºoº

This podcast explores the story of Walt Disney Inc. and Wed Enterprises, the company Walt Disney created to manage his backyard miniature railroad and control the rights to his name and two Disneyland attractions he owned. The tension between Walt and his brother Roy reached a boiling point due to Walt's decision to create a new company and ally with rival studios. Walt also made a deal with Paramount to finance the construction of Disneyland and kept ownership of some assets under his personal company, Retlaw Enterprises. Despite the family drama, Walt's vision led to the creation of Disneyland and a legacy that has lasted for generations.

What Is The Future Of Disneyland's Treehouse?  There's a good reason why Disney Parks fans didn't get any new information about the Disneyland Treehouse in Adventureland.
