1. The Boo To You parade is one of my most favorite ever. (headless horseman)
2. You can dress up and you see real cool costumes.
3. You can take candy home with you and have for a month. also saves on trick or treaters.

I went with Christmas because its really well done.

The problem is that both events are basically the same: great decoratons, special shows, treats, and two of Disney's best Parades!

I went on January 1st and the decorations were all down with the exception of the Osborne lights at DHS. Meanwhile, Universal had their decorations up until Little Christmas (January 6th), so we were able to enjoy the atmosphere without the crowds.
