I know the 7th is the last day for the holiday events/decor for both parks. My son is 3 yrs old and it's his first time at Disney, so wondering which park would be better/recommended to visit on the 7th? We would be visiting the other park on the 8th.

Hi, Christa! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Wow, your pixie-dusted vacation is just around the corner! I hope you and your little one are getting excited for all the magic that awaits you! While both theme parks have holiday-themed decor, attractions and entertainment to enjoy, I recommend that you visit Disneyland Park on the first day of your trip. January 7 is the last day for your son to experience the Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction, A Christmas Fantasy Parade, and the Believe...In Holiday Magic Fireworks Spectacular. After the fireworks, snow will fall in the skies above &ldquo;it&rsquo;s a small world&rdquo; Holiday in Fantasyland, over portions of Main Street, U.S.A., and near the Rivers of America as a special seasonal treat. Although it&rsquo;s not a holiday-themed attraction, Dumbo the Flying Elephant is also slated to close January 8 for refurbishment, so that may be another reason to visit Disneyland Park first. The exception to this advice is if your son is a big fan of the movie Cars (like my son was at 3 years old!), in which case you may want to experience Mater&rsquo;s Jingle Jamboree and Luigi's Joy to the Whirl, two Cars Land attractions that are decked out for the holiday season. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that some attractions at Disney California Adventure Park, including California Screamin&rsquo; and Mickey&rsquo;s Fun Wheel, are expected to close January 8 while the Paradise Pier area is re-imagined, so it would be your last chance to experience those. I hope this helps you, Christa. Please feel free to write back with more questions! Wishing you magic, Courtney
