I am gushing over card MS-9 from the From Silver Screen to Main Street insert set, and honestly? My heart grew three sizes the moment I pulled it.

Let us dive in! 🎴
Meet Card MS-9: Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Balloons
Card MS-9, officially titled "Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Balloons," celebrates the legendary 35 Years of Magic - Party Gras Parade at Disneyland. This insert captures the trio in their full parade glory - Mickey, Minnie, and Donald surrounded by a burst of oversized, brilliantly colored balloons that pop right off the card face. The design radiates pure festivity and nostalgia. Seeing these three iconic friends framed in all that balloon-filled, parade-day color just fills me with so much joy. The Party Gras Parade was an absolute gem of the Disneyland entertainment lineup, and having it immortalized in this format is everything a park-loving collector could ever want.
Visually, the card carries the classic From Silver Screen to Main Street insert styling - rich, saturated colors, clean layout, and an energy that feels like you are right there in the park crowd. The artwork perfectly captures the festivity of the moment, and the character expressions on Mickey, Minnie, and Donald are everything. Playful, joyful, totally on-brand for these three legendary friends who are always at the top of my personal chase list.

But today, my heart belongs to MS-9 and its three balloon-bouncing icons.
Every parade float that rolled down Main Street was a love letter from Disney to its guests - and now those moments live forever in our hands. 💖
A Little Parade Memory
I have to tell you - when I first saw this card, I was immediately transported back to standing along the Disneyland parade route, the scent of fresh popcorn drifting up from a cart nearby, everyone around me leaning forward with pure excitement as the floats came into view. There is something about a Disney parade that just stops time. The color, the music, the characters waving - it is pure magic, and MS-9 bottles every single bit of that feeling into one gorgeous insert card. The Mickey, Minnie, and Donald trio together like this on a parade-themed insert feels so right and so overdue.
Collector Notes - Where Does MS-9 Fit?
The 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary trading card set celebrates 70 years of Disneyland with a 150-card base set, themed inserts like From Silver Screen to Main Street and A Pirate's Life Chrome, and autograph cards featuring iconic Disney voice talent. The From Silver Screen to Main Street insert cards are standard-thickness inserts, making them very approachable for set builders chasing the full 25-card run. From Silver Screen to Main Street is an insert showcasing the most iconic Disney characters in costume around the park, highlighting costume evolutions from inception to modern day. Parallels include Gold Shimmer Foil at /55 (Disneyland SKU Exclusive), Gold Foil at /50, Orange Foil at /25, Black Foil at /10, Red Foil at /5, and a FoilFractor 1-of-1. If you are a parallel hunter, those low-numbered copies of MS-9 are absolutely worth chasing - imagine the Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Balloons in gold or red foil. I need it immediately.
For character collectors, MS-9 is a must-have since it features the full Main Three - Mickey, Minnie, and Donald together in one glorious frame. For set builders, completing all 25 cards in the From Silver Screen to Main Street run is a beautiful goal, and this card sits right in the sweet spot of the checklist. For park fans, the parade connection makes this card deeply personal and emotionally resonant.
Display and Storage Ideas
Once you land MS-9 (and I hope you land a gorgeous foil parallel too!), treat it right. I love slipping my From Silver Screen to Main Street cards into an Ultra Pro Card Storage Box so I can keep the full 25-card run together, organized, and protected in one place - it is perfect for a completed insert set run. When I am building out the full rainbow on a card like this, an Ultra Pro 9-Pocket Pages binder setup lets me display every parallel tier side by side in perfect order. Pair either option with a soft inner sleeve and your cards will stay pristine for years. You could also pair your MS-9 alongside any Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom spell cards you have featuring Mickey, Minnie, or Donald for a really special display shelf moment - park magic meeting card magic! 🏰
Mark It in Collectiblz!
If you are tracking the From Silver Screen to Main Street set in the Collectiblz app, do not forget to open the Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary checklist and mark MS-9 as Have when it lands in your collection. Watching that progress bar grow across all 25 parade cards is such a satisfying feeling - and it helps you quickly see which cards are still on your Need list so you can keep hunting.
Happy collecting, parade fans - may every pack bring you a little magic! 💖
