Christmas lights 2016, when do they go up?

[bcinohio]

We were looking to do a family vacation the second week of Dec 2016. DH and I went that week a few years ago and now want to take the family. When he signed up for vacation at work they said he may not be able to go in Dec this year because they are really busy in Dec now. So we are maybe looking to move it up to Nov 2016. I know the Osborn Lights will be gone but are all the other lights up in Nov? Looking back on the page about the Christmas Party it shows the first party on the 8th of Nov. We would like to do the party too. I just want to see if all the lights are up for the first party.

Also does anyone have a link that shows previous discounts give for Nov and Dec?

Thanks

I "think" how decorated the parks are (especially MK) depends when the parade taping is? We went the first weekend of Nov '15 & the tree was up on Main Street & that area was decorated cause the taping was early. But I don't recall seeing much décor at the other parks yet (besides the Osborne lights) so that may go up later.

Nope.

The MK decorations are based on the start of the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party nights.
(Figure about Nov. 8, give or take.)

The rest of the parks and resorts will be in process of being decorated up until everything is completed by Thanksgiving.

So are all the decorations up at the resorts as well as the parks before the first party?

When do the resort decorations go up? The gingerbread house at GF, etc.

by the week of thanksgiving.

(the gingerbread house might be up a little earlier as it probably generates a little revenue - but coming after thanksgiving if you want to see the resort decorations is a good idea...)

I personally only have the wish to see the castle in 2016 lit up. I got so excited when it lit 11/4/15. It puts the castle being covering in icicles while we are there in 2016 if the same happens this year!
