Christmas Stuff (Not Parties) Dates

[soniam]

I am trying to determine the dates of the christmas stuff in the parks, not the parties, but things like decorations, attractions, parades, fireworks, food booths, etc. We will be arriving on the 26th and leaving the 1st. I already know about the crowds. We have been there during that time, Thanksgiving, and Easter many times. However, it has been several years since we have been there between xmas and NYE. I know about the MK NYE fireworks on 12/30 and 12/31 and the Epcot NYE show on 12/31. I know a lot of the xmas decorations stay up until sometime in early January. Here are the things I am trying to find end dates for. Anecdotal dates from last year are fine. Disney's dates are purposely still vague.

Epcot:
Living with the Land holiday lights (Seems probably until 12/30)
Festival of the Holidays food booths - I think this ends on 12/30. I know they sometimes have limited booths for NYE on 12/31.
Holiday Storytellers - I think these end on 12/30
Imagination with Figment in xmas sweater (Seems probably until 12/30)

DHS:
Sunset Seasons Greetings
Toy Story Land decorations
Frozen xmas Sing-Along

AK:
Merry Menagerie
Tree of Life holiday awakenings

MK:
Jingle Cruise
Xmas fireworks - I know these run during regular park hours after the last party on 12/22. Maybe they end 12/29?
Xmas parade - I thought this also runs during regular park hours after the last party on 12/22.

Thanks

I have photos/video timestamped the 12/28th of Living With The Land Christmas Lights! Pretty sure they will be going thru the new year.

I know in 2022 during marathon weekend and living with the land & jingle cruise as well as figment with his sweater was still happening

If I can piggyback on your question - when do these things usually start? Until now, all our WDW trips were in August or September, but earlier this year we moved to Florida and now have APs.

We'll be there Nov. 10-12 for MVMCP and Jollywood Nights and I'm hoping all the holiday stuff will be out in full force already. I feel that I need to experience the Jingle Cruise! LOL

Most if not all the decour should be up by then the only thing you may miss would be festival of the holidays/candlelight at Epcot as that historically doesn’t start till thanksgiving

Thanks. That's do-able in a day trip for us I think and I'm sure we'll squeeze something in around our blackout dates.

For MK and DHS, stuff will be up. MK will actually be in full swing the day after the last MNSSHP. Epcot doesn't usually start until Black Friday. Some of the hotels, like GF, are decorated by the week of Thanksgiving, but some may not be decorated until the week after Thanksgiving.

I know beach club and/or grand are set up by wine & dine

I don't know how it is now, but in 2019, we went on Christmas Eve open to close for a commando day before we left for Pinellas. While we've never done MVMCP, the parade, fireworks, Jingle Cruise, and dance parties were all going on in MK on the 24th. I'm not sure what else is at the party that we missed during the rest of the days, but from what my understanding is a lot of it is the same once the last party finishes.

I know they run some of the MVMCP special things after the last one. We saw them one year during a trip between xmas and NYE. However, I can't remember how long they run. We won't be arriving until the 26th. I am pretty sure the parade runs after the last party but not sure about the xmas party fireworks. Touring Plans confirmed that they ran the parade last year twice a day during the day after the last party. It didn't mention the fireworks though.
