Christmas Decorations- Whrn?

[conandrob240]

Can anyone tell me when the resorts put up their Christmas decorations? Mostly interested in GF's gingerbread house, BCV chocolate carousel and the trees at WL, AK and GF.

Also, when will the MK Christmas party events start? And the lights show at DHS? and the candlelight processional in Epcot?

Considering a Thanksgiving trip next year- we'd be there Thanksgiving day plus 2-4 days after.

The decorations start going up in November after the last MNSSHP. We went one year the weekend before T-giving and the WL tree was up, as was the GF gingerbread house. The trees were up in the parks, except for MK, as they don't put theirs in until after the Christmas Parade taping (which is the 1st weekend of Dec). The Osbourne Lights were definitely showing by T-giving. The CP at Epcot doesn't start until T-giving - we saw it for the first time last November when we went the week following. The MVMCP doesn't run the week of T-giving, but there was one on the Tuesday following this past year. The parties start mid-Nov.

Hope this helps!

Nov. 9th is the first MVMCP. Osborne lights also starts on that date. If you're at WDW from Nov. 23rd and beyond you can see CP.
