AK vs HS for Christmas vibe

[ohtmeal]

Which one would you choose: AK or HS to get the most of the Christmas feels if you had to choose one?
We are visiting in mid Nov with three day park ticket and doing MK (+MVMCP) and Epcot for sure, but need to decide between AK and HS.

Here are my thoughts currently.
Why I would choose AK:
• Heard that AK upped their Christmas decor game in recent years
• I love AK theming. Makes me feel like I'm in a wholly different place!
• Love Expedition Everest

Why I would choose HS:
• Usually more things to do, eat and ride in this park than AK
• Love MMRR and RotR

We visited DW in January and July this year, but we are planning this Nov trip to soak in Disney Christmas for the first time.
What do you guys think?

I have been at Disney for the last 2 Thanksgivings. I got more of a Christmas feel from DHS than I did at AK. I love both parks but if you are choosing just based on decor and feeling - DHS has more. TOT has a projection show, it snows on Sunset BLVD after dark, and they have more overall decorations up.

DHS for sure

DHS, hand's down. I love the vintage vibe!

You are correct that Animal Kingdom has increased their Christmas vibe and it is uniquely Animal Kingdom. AK often ranks as my favorite park, but not during Christmas... that will always be Hollywood Studios!

I’ll actually be at HS Christmas Day this year so this is good to know

Def HS. It's just so much smaller, so the decorations go a long way to making it feel more decorated. I love the retro silver tinsel stuff, it's really cute and festive.

Agree with the group - HS for sure!
