General Forum

A couple weeks ago I picked up 11 packs of these cards, and actually came 2 cards short of a full set. I also got this complete set. I did all the research on those and put in a request to add these sets to the site, so I know about those, but searching eBay, I see more Walt Disney World cards that I can't find much info on. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them.

First, I see these unknown year Animal Kingdom packs. They are labeled Premiere Edition, so I imagine they are somewhere around the opening of the park.

Next, we have a set of 25th Anniversary cards. I see packs of 5 on ebay, along with packs that contain the full 25 card set. 

I see we have 3 transportation sets listed on the site, however this Minnie Van card I don't think is listed. It is card #34, and we don't have a set that goes that high. A comment on this blog says that in 2018 the cards were redesigned with more added, so that is a missing set. 

Lastly, what started this post was me coming across this set, Walt Disney World Experiences. It looks like there are 9 9 card sets that were released. I'm not sure of the exact year, but it is after 1999 because of the cruise line cards. One of the attractions on these cards was closed in 2008, so they are somewhere in that range. An overview of property, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Cruise Lines, Adventureland, Mickey's Toontown, Main Street, and Frontierland. 

If anyone has any info on these cards or know of any other Walt Disney World card sets, let me know. Will be fun to hunt these oddball cards down and add them to the collection

There's a full set of those transport cards on eBay. I typed up the list of them (including the character on the back). Other listings also seem to suggest that they're from 2018.

There's also mention of 5 series of transport cards on this forum I found. The site currently has 1-3. There's a possible checklist on the forum I linked for series 4. And below is the list I put together from eBay, which is series 5. Anyway, I figured I would share what I found.

[FYI, I went ahead and added this set on 4/11/2022. I was having trouble verifying the checklist and year for series 4, so I didn't add that one.]

Thanks for adding series 5! I'll do some more research on that one. I did pick up a full set of the Animal Kingdom series and will work on adding that to the database. There is no year on the cards, but with Premiere Edition, are we safe to assume that was park opening in 1998? It is no later than 2000 as the Dinosaur ride is still Countdown to Extinction on the cards, and that was renamed in 2000

Walt Disney World Opened on October 1st 1971 , so if you have 25th Anniversary cards that would place them around 1996...

I picked up a 3 packs of the 25th Anniversary cards, 25 cards so not enough to put together a set, but this is what I pulled.

2 The Dream Continues

4 Dedication Celebration

5 Making a Magical Kingdom

6 20 Magical Years

10 Evening on Main Street, U.S.A.

11 Engine Co. 71

12 The Crystal Palace

13 Tea Party Friends

14 Liberty Square Boats

19 Enchanted Tiki Birds

21 Space Mountain

22 Cinderella on Parade

I also was able to get 7 packs of a new set I found. The packs just say 2000 Walt Disney World. With some horrible pack luck, 3 of the packs were the exact same, I can partially create this checklist

1 Voyage of the Little Mermaid

2 Disney-MGM Studios

4 Beauty and the Beast

5 Out on the Town

7 Very Merry Christmas Parade

8 Fantasy in the Sky

9 Cinderella Castle

10 Yo Ho!

12 Splash Mountain

14 Tower of Terror

15 Christmas at the Disney-MGM Studios

16 Dick Tracy Street

17 Tree of Life

19 Epcot

21 Fire Brigade

23 SpectroMagic

25 Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A.

This is all the info I can find on these two sets. I wish I could pick up some more packs, but they are listed on ebay for crazy prices. Would a partial checklist be ok with these two sets?

See if you can contact sellers of the cards if they have any loose and can tell you card numbers. This has worked in the past.

Based on some completed eBay sales, you can add these to the 25th Anniversary checklist:

1 Early Dreams

3 Roy Disney and Friend

7 Ear Force One

8 Fantasy in the Sky

15 The Hall of Presidents

16 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

17 The Swiss Family Treehouse

18 The Haunted Mansion

20 Jungle Cruise

23 Big Thunder Moutain

24 The Legend of the Lion King

25 Alien Encounter

I think that just leaves #9. So, either someone can track it down, or that set could go up with #9 listed as TBD since we know there are 25 cards and I think it's silly to have one card stop you from posting a set. But as vrooomed said, contacting a seller might be a good way to get the last name.

I think 9 is once again Cinderella Castle. It looks like it matches on a lot on ebay. Thankfully some sellers put the cards in number order so that made that one easy for us

I added the 25th Anniversary set to the database

Awesome. I must have missed it but the 2000 set is listed here too. Now I think the Experiences releases are the last to be listed here. I think those can be added based on ebay pictures, I just don't know how they would be organized since they are 9 different releases
