Christmas trees

[Jaylie]

Does anyone know if the Christmas trees and gingerbread decorations will be up in the parks and resorts during the second week of November?
Thanks!

I think that's probably a bit early. I believe they start putting the holiday decorations up the week before Thanksgiving.

Considering the accelerated rollout of decorations last year by Christmas Services -- I'd be surprised if they weren't out up by 2AM on 11/1 !

The first MVMCP is scheduled for November 12, so I imagine the decorations will be going up before then...atleast at the MK.

We were at VWL on November 16th 2004 and all of the Christmas decorations were already up at the lodge and villa. We didn't go anywhere else except DTD, and it was the weekend of Sidewalk artists, no Christmas decorations that I remember.

Last year we went to WDW (pre-buying into DVC) for T-giving; we stayed at the Yacht Club...no Christmas decorations when we arrived, the Tuesday before T-giving...none at Epcot or MGM, either...Thursday night they put them up...I get up early and was up and out at 6 a.m. and CMs were busy assembling the wonderful "train + village" display at the Yacht Club...the tree, which hadn't been up at 10 the night before, was up at 6 a.m. Lots of CMs putting up the "pole" decorations outside...we went to Epcot that afternoon and most, but not all, the Christmas stuff had gone up between Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon...by Friday all the holiday "dress-up" had been put in place...

I always think of Disney "dressed up for the holidays" as happening on T-giving the night before or night of)--

We were in WDW during the first adn second week of November last year, and they were popping up all over the place, especially toward the end. In fact, I believe the Magic Kingdom decorations went up the first week of November.

Does anyone know when they take the decorations down? Are they still up in the early part of January?

They begin to take small Christmas decorations around the parks on the 26th in order to prepare the parks for NYE. But all the trees and gingerbread and any large decorations start coming down around Jan 3. They are usually gone by marathon weekend
