Questions for upcoming trip

[momtotwolittleones]

We will be in the parks this Monday, the 7th, for one day only. We were last there during spring break, but the 60th anniversary hadn't started yet, so I'm kind of confused about all the different shows, and we aren't used to only being there one day. My questions are:

Are there two different parades in Disneyland? Are there two different fireworks show or just one? Is it still good viewing from Small World, or is it different enough that you should be in front of the castle?

Are there two different WOC shows, or just a new one?

If we all use our tickets to enter DL, can one person then dash over to DCA to get FP, or do we all have to enter DCA once before the tickets can be used to pull a FP over there?

Any other suggestions/tips about the new things going on?

Thanks!

There are two parades currently at Disneyland, the Christmas Fantasy parade is during the day and the anniversary Paint the Night parade is after dark.
I prefer Main Street for the current fireworks because of the extra lighting elements you are surrounded by there (don't want to spoil it).

There are two different World of Color shows, Winter Dreams and Celebrate.

As long as all your tickets have been scanned into one park, you can send a runner to the other to get fast passes just fine.

There is a lot of Christmas stuff going right now and Fantasmic! and Aladdin will be ending in January, so there's all kinds of things to cram in. You definitely won't be able to see them all in one day so make a list of your priorities and go from there.
