Christmas season readiness

[PTSMickey]

Does anyone know when WDW will be "Christmas ready"? I know MK will be ready by first MVMCP, but what about other parks, specifically EPCOT?

Thank you.

Since the start of the Christmas season is November 14th I would not be surprised if EPCOT is ready by then.

But the start of EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays officially starts November 28th so everything would definitely be in full swing at the park by then.

If you’re interested in when the resorts are decorated, this thread tracked it last year. The resorts aren’t decorated in the same sequence every year — there’s a lottery to determine when each resort’s turn comes — but this will give you an idea.

Not really. The tree randomly happens overnight. We travel mid-Nov and I recall seeing EP ready right before we left so around the time going into T-Day week.

So excited to have a trip booked for Dec 2! The holiday season is our favourite time to visit. This year, it will just be DD and me, and right now we are only planning an Epcot park day, happy in the knowledge that our dates fall solidly into the Festival of the Holidays.

Our other days will consist of visits to the resorts to soak up their holiday atmosphere. Lots of time in DS, too! We love to have meals in the resorts and have a chance to appreciate all of their festive decorations. It’s the perfect way for us seasoned Disney adults to kick off the season!

It will be the first time we have ever passed on MK and MVMCP. But, that is an easy fix if we are overcome with nostalgia (or FOMO!) once we are there.
