Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary MS-23: Mickey & Friends Lightastic Finale - Donald Duck (From Silver Screen to Main Street Insert)
Paint the Night Was My Everything - and This Card Proves Why
Hey hey hey, fellow Disney card collectors! It is Tilly, and I am SO lit up right now - pun completely intended - because today we are talking about one of the most dazzling inserts in the entire 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary set. We are diving into card MS-23: Mickey & Friends Lightastic Finale - Donald Duck, from the gorgeous From Silver Screen to Main Street insert set. If you have ever stood on Main Street, U.S.A. as Paint the Night rolled by and felt the whole world glow around you, this card was made for your heart.
The Card: MS-23 and the Magic It Holds
Card MS-23 is part of the From Silver Screen to Main Street insert set - a 25-card collection celebrating some of Disneyland's most beloved parade moments across the decades. This particular card spotlights the Mickey and Friends Lightastic Finale float from the Paint the Night Parade, with our grumpy, lovable, forever-hollering Donald Duck front and center. And honestly? Donald stealing the spotlight is so on brand. He has never met a moment he did not want to crash, and I adore him for it.
Visually, imagine all the high-voltage energy of Paint the Night captured in card form - bright LED-style artwork, a festive parade atmosphere, and that iconic Mickey and Friends finale float radiating color and movement. The card has the kind of warmth and jubilation that only a parade finale can carry. Whether the design leans into bold, illuminated blues and golds or brings that electric parade-night atmosphere to life with rich detail, it is the kind of insert that makes your binder feel like a front-row seat on Main Street.
A Memory That Lives in My Bones
I still remember the first time I watched Paint the Night at Disneyland. I had positioned myself near the Matterhorn, and when the finale float came rounding the bend with Mickey and his crew lit up like a dream, I actually teared up. The air smelled like popcorn and churros, the crowd was cheering, and I remember thinking - this is what Disney does that nothing else can. It turns a regular Tuesday night into the most magical moment of your year. Card MS-23 brings all of that back to me in the best possible way.
Every great parade ends with a finale that makes you wish it would go around one more time - and the best inserts feel exactly the same way.

Collector Notes - Where Does MS-23 Fit In?
As a standard insert card within the 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary release, the From Silver Screen to Main Street cards sit above the base set in terms of pull rate and collector appeal. They are not base pulls - they are dedicated inserts, which means you will not find one in every pack. Collectors chasing the full 25-card set will need patience and either consistent box-busting or some smart singles shopping. The set also carries foil parallels numbered from /199 down to a 1-of-1 Foilfractor - so if you pull a numbered MS-23 Donald Duck, that is a very special card worth protecting with care.
This card is a great fit for set builders working the full From Silver Screen to Main Street run, character collectors who chase every Donald Duck card across every Topps Disney set, and park fans who love parade-themed content. The Paint the Night Parade has a real cult following in the Disneyland community, so MS-23 through MS-21 in particular are going to be fan-favorites for years to come.
Display and Protection Tips
For a standard insert like MS-23, I slide mine straight into an Ultra Pro Toploader (Regular) with an Ultra Pro PRO-Matte Eclipse Card Sleeves inner sleeve first - that double-sleeve combo keeps the card pristine and makes the artwork pop beautifully through the clear holder. If you are lucky enough to pull a numbered foil parallel of this card, I would step up to an Ultra Pro Hinged Card Holder so you can display it and show off that gorgeous foil finish without worrying about wear.
I also love pairing these parade inserts alongside my old Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom spell cards when I display them - there is something so fun about honoring Disney park collectibles all together in one spot. And of course, I have already checked off MS-23 as Have in my Collectiblz app - building out this insert set completion tracker has been so satisfying.
Happy collecting, friends. May your next pack pull be a foil parallel of your most-wanted card. 🎆
- 💛 Tilly
