About the Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary Set
The 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary set is an absolute celebration - a love letter to 70 years of The Happiest Place on Earth. Released in March 2026, the base set features 150 cards divided into four gorgeous subsets: Then and Now, Timeline, Snack Time, and Concept Art. It is the kind of release that park fans have been dreaming of - attraction art, historical milestones, beloved snacks, and early Imagineering concept imagery all pulled together into one beautifully crafted collectible experience. Beyond the base set, the release includes incredible inserts like the 25-card From Silver Screen to Main Street parade set, the 10-card A Pirate's Life Chrome insert honoring Pirates of the Caribbean, and a lineup of Attraction Autographs signed by the real voice talent behind Disneyland's most beloved characters.
The Mad Tea Party is actually featured across multiple cards in this set, which makes a dedicated collector's heart sing. In the Then and Now subset, cards 43 and 44 both showcase the iconic spinning teacup attraction in Fantasyland, giving collectors a breathtaking before-and-after look at how the attraction has evolved through decades of park history. And then there is card #144, our Concept Art entry, which pulls back the curtain to reveal the early artistic vision behind this beloved Fantasyland staple. Together, these three Mad Tea Party cards make for a gorgeous thematic mini-collection within the larger set - perfect for any park enthusiast or Fantasyland devotee.
Card #144 - Mad Tea Party Concept Art, Pink Shimmer Foil
Card #144 sits within the Concept Art subset of the Disneyland 70th base set, which is one of my absolute favorite sections of the checklist. There is something so special about seeing how Disney Imagineers first dreamed up the park's most iconic attractions - the early sketches, the color washes, the original spark of imagination that eventually became something generations of guests have adored. For a park fan like me, pulling a Concept Art card feels like holding a tiny piece of Disney history in your hands.
And this card comes dressed in the Pink Shimmer Foil parallel finish - one of the most eye-catching and beautiful variations in the entire release. The Pink Shimmer Foil parallels are exclusive to Value Blaster boxes, landing at approximately 2 per 7-pack box. They are not numbered, which means they are accessible without being impossibly scarce - but that shimmer finish is instantly recognizable and genuinely stunning in person. The pink iridescent foil catches the light with every angle you hold the card, giving it an almost dreamy, watercolor-meets-glitter quality that feels perfectly suited to the whimsy of the Mad Tea Party's pastel palette and storybook Fantasyland aesthetic.
"Every teacup spin is a tiny adventure, and every great card is a way to carry that feeling with you long after the park lights go down. Chase the shimmer. Chase the magic. Chase the cards that make you feel like a kid again."
A Moment of Personal Park Magic
I have to share a little memory here, because this card absolutely calls for it. One of my most treasured Disneyland afternoons ever started with riding the Mad Tea Party just as the late golden afternoon light settled over Fantasyland. The whole area smelled like fresh popcorn drifting in from Main Street, the teacups were glowing in that warm California sunlight, and laughter was everywhere. It was one of those perfect park moments where everything outside the berm simply disappears. That feeling - of being completely wrapped inside the magic - is exactly what a card like this captures for me. Every time I look at a Fantasyland Concept Art card, that memory comes flooding back. 🏰
Collector Notes - Where This Card Fits in the Ecosystem
For set builders, card #144 is a key piece of the 150-card base set and belongs to the Concept Art section of your checklist. If you are chasing a complete Pink Shimmer Foil parallel run across the full set, remember that these come exclusively from Value Blasters - so plan your box breaks accordingly. For park fans and Fantasyland lovers, the Mad Tea Party trio of cards (43, 44, and 144) makes for a really special thematic mini-collection worth displaying together. And for parallel collectors building a full rainbow of the Disneyland 70th base set, the Pink Shimmer Foil is a beautiful and achievable starting tier to chase before climbing toward the Green Foil (/199), Blue Foil (/99), 70th Anniversary Foil (/70), Gold (/50), and the ultra-rare FoilFractor (1/1).
For hit chasers, this set is loaded with extraordinary pulls - Attraction Autographs signed by talent like Tim Allen, Margaret Kerry, and Anika Noni Rose, hand-drawn Sketch Cards from over 80 contributing artists, and the remarkable Enchanted Relics cards that include actual pieces of cast member costumes, Disney Dollars, and vintage park tickets. The Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary release is genuinely one of the most exciting and park-authentic Disney card products in recent memory, and the Pink Shimmer Foil Mad Tea Party is a lovely piece of that magical puzzle.
Displaying and Protecting Your Card
For this Pink Shimmer Foil parallel, I love sliding it into Ultra Pro Platinum Series Card Sleeves first - they are crystal clear, lint-free, and let that gorgeous shimmer finish show off without a scratch. For organizing and displaying the full Disneyland 70th run alongside it, an Ultra Pro Premium Pro Binder keeps everything pristine, easy to flip through, and beautifully presentation-ready. I organize my Disneyland 70th cards by land, and watching the Fantasyland section fill up with cards like this one is one of the most satisfying feelings in collecting right now.
If you've tracked this card down through the Collectiblz app, make sure to mark it as Have and keep your Pink Shimmer Foil parallel progress updated. If you are still on the hunt, add it to your Need list and let the search begin!
Happy collecting, park lovers. Seventy years of Disneyland magic, one gorgeous card at a time. 🎆
💜 Tilly
