This just in from Jim Korkis:

[When the New Year falls on a Sunday, the famous Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California is held on Monday, January 2nd as it was this year. The first and last visit Walt made to the Rose Parade (before he was Grand Marshall in 1966) was on January 2, 1939. The Disney Family Museum has a photo on display of that historic moment of Walt, his wife Lilly and daughter Diane standing on the balcony of the Constance Hotel to watch the parade.]
