Christmas holiday planning, need help

[Bete]

I'm thinking about a mid November trip before Thanksgiving. I'm wondering other than the MVMCP will there be any holiday decorations or shows or whatever to see?

When does the ice castle transition occur at MK?

When do the storytellers start at Epcot?

When does the Osborn Lights get started?

Is everything after Thanksgiving? I know the Candlelight Processional starts after Thanksgiving.

Well, the castle is in ice for MVMCP, so that'll be done. Don't know for sure about the lights at HS but I think they'll be up. I do know the storytellers don't start until after Thanksgiving. We're doing our next trip this year before Thanksgiving as well, so I've been doing research. We were disappointed about missing the storytellers but are planning to see the Osborne Lights. Hope that helps!

The castle will be lit and the HS lights will be on as of the second week of November. I think the first night for Osborne is 11/7 and the castle will be lit for the first MVMCP on 11/8. And the PantherPete family arrives on 11/7 - just in case you wanted to know.

Everything else staggers from there. Some resorts will be decorated already and some won't be done until Thanksgiving. The Epcot candlelight thing starts after Thanksgiving, I believe.

Are the Osborne lights on every night after 11/7? I thought I read somewhere they do select "previews nights" in November until Thanksgiving.
