A Guide to Braving New Years Eve at Disneyland Part 2 Which Park to Choose??

Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure??
Which park to choose, If you want to be brave the crowds and enjoy traditional entertainment that would be Disneyland. Disneyland is the most popular between the bunch, with it elaborate parade (A Christmas Fantasy) and Holiday Fireworks Show (Believe.. In Holiday Magic) it becomes the #1 Choice for Park Goers and Tourists. Disneyland has classic E ticket Attractions and history which makes it a must for mostly everyone.. Yet Disney California Adventure is also great but I have never spent New Years Eve there ( no World of Color maybe ) Now with the addition of World of Color  this could make it a choice that could strike a deal to some park gowers. So why do I make a question to choose between parks. There is no way in the world to Park Hop between Parks on New Years.  The crowds make it nearly impossible to do so. Disneyland usually sells out of one day park admissions early around 10 am...and also Annual Passholder blockout tickets sell out quckly too. So you must make it a must to choose one and only one, SO DO NOT PLAN TO PARK HOP ok.
Lets Break down Attractions and Entertainment to do at Both Parks  
Disneyland
Christmas Fantasy Parade (offered twice check disneyland.com for latest schedule subject to change)
Space Mountain 
Matterhorn
Captain Eo Tribute 
Small World Holiday
Fantasmic!
Believe...in Holiday Magic
Ring in the New Years with Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks Show
and many more

Disney California Adventure
ElecTRONica
World of Color (FASTPASS MANDATE go to Grizzly River Run for Fastpass Ticket)
California Screamin
Tower of Terrror
Aladdin Live Stage Show (?? Subject to Change)
Grizzly River Run
Fountain and Fireworks Special Midnight Ring in the New Years (Fastpass mandate with an encore performance of World of Color get ticket at Grizzly River Run
Animation Academy
Soarin over California
Muppet Vision 3D
any many more...
My tip is if you want to to do something different and brave light crowds my recommendation is Disney California Adventure  due to one main offering that is hard to pass up World of Color. If you have not seen World of Color it is a must see. One perk is that Fastpass includes the special Fountain and Fireworks Midnight Ring in the New Years (subject to weather of course). At Disneyland many people stake out there waiting spot for Fireworks and Fantasmic! early as the park opens. So head early to California Adventure and get a fastpass to the midnight showing of DCA. If Disneyland you seek a great area to enjoy countdown to New Years is at Small World Mall. Just remember to choose one park. Part 3 coming soon
