Christmas Music In the Parks

[MyAgentCam]

Hi all. Long time reader, with few posts. I love this site and the info all you members supply to it!

My family is visiting Disney in the first couple of weeks of December. We try to do this every few years for the last 12 or so years. The last couple of times we haven't heard a lot of Christmas music other than during parades or its a small world. The first couple of times we went the Christmas music was EVERYWHERE. Is there a specific date that Disney really cranks on the Christmas music in the parks? I'm wondering if we just happened to go a few days earlier the last couple of times and missed it. Can anyone shed light on this? Thank you !

to the DISboards, MyAgentCam!

The Christmas music will be at MK starting by Nov. 8.
It will be added to the rest of WDW in steps... up to Thanksgiving.

The Christmas music will be "everywhere" by Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, so it will be in full force the first week of December.

And it was still going strong until New Years Day!

And it was still going strong until New Years Day!

And, in some cases, well beyond.

I think maybe you weren't really listening because when we go for Thanksgiving, and we are in the other three parks, not Magic Kingdom (not a favorite for us old fogies), we hear Christmas music all the time. I even commented to my husband that I didn't like hearing it that early (yes, I am a stickler for the Christmas season starting the day after Thanksgiving). So, the music is definitely there.

We went last November and MK's usual music was replaced with Christmas tunes..can't remember if any of the other parks had theirs that early though. (we went November 9th-16th)

When the decor changes, the music should change to match. The mis-matched music may hang around for a day or two, but when we have seen the decorations come down in January, that rough rule usually holds true.

The thing about good BGM (at least in my opinion) is merely that it adds to the atmosphere, without detracting in any way. So subconsciously if it fits, you may not even notice it.
