Hit California Adventure earlier in the day, because they close early and Disneyland Park is THE place to be at night.

Catch the Holiday Magic Parade in the afternoon or early evening. Really cute. But no matter what you do or what you plan, be standing in the middle of Main Street at 9:35 pm. Why? The holiday fireworks show is at 9:35 directly followed by 10 minutes of snow on Main Street. You have to be standing in the middle of the street to have the best view of the fireworks AND be snowed on. (Just do as everyone else does)

Both the Haunted Mansion and It's A Small World are totally decked out for the holidays inside and out. Small World looks absolutely spectacular - it's DL's 2nd castle and it's all decked out in lights. HM has the Nightmare Before Christmas theme and Small World's interior is totally decked out with all the dolls dressed for Christmas, and they sing Jingle Bells instead of the regular Small World song.

Be sure to spend some time wandering around New Orleans Square, in the back streets. Lots of hidden Christmas treasures back there. (It's really beautiful)
