If you has a choice btw christmas and new years. . .

F you could do Christmas or New Years at Disney but not both, which would you pick and why?

Assuming you mean the "actual" days? I would probably pick NYD, all the decorations and atmosphere are the same but the crowds are slightly less. Unless you're thinking NYE ...which for MK would be the busiest day of the year(or close to it)

If I could choose just one, I would choose to be at DW for New Year's Eve, because I think of New Year's as a time to celebrate at a party with big crowds. I think of Christmas as more of a quiet time to celebrate with your nearest and dearest at someone's home.

But I actually will be at the MK on Christmas Day this year and we will return home New Year's Eve so my opposite wish is coming true.

I would pick NY because I would love to be any where else than watching tv in my living room on NYE. And I would pick EPCOT, just seems right.

We did NYE when my kids were younger....elementary school age. We ended up watching the fireworks from an Epcot view room in the Dolphin. They couldn't handle the crowds and staying up late. A few years ago, we spent Christmas at WDW and left just before NYE. Upcoming trip will cover both. I would say at a younger age, spending Christmas in WDW is far more enjoyable to kids than a NYE celebration. Some of the Christmas special events (Parade, Christmas around the world) end just before NYE.

Another thought, you can get the best of both worlds if you plan well. Arrive in WDW just after Christmas, and stay through New Year's. Or arrive to celebrate Christmas, but don't leave until NYE...so you can see the NY fireworks at MK on Dec. 30th.
