We'll be going nov 12-20, so guess we'll catch the last two days. Will it be super crowded probably? Any thought on if or how it may effect Christmas going up or even MVmcp? I know it's two different parks but it is changing schedules from what's been the norm. We usually go In December for Xmas and hoping this won't change any Xmas stuff as its already bound to be less than we are used to in mid November. Any thoughts on this ir worrying for nothing? But it might be interesting tho crowded to head over for a few hours just to see it.

We went to the parks from 11/4-11/9 in 2015. I can tell you that by the time we arrived at MK on the 4th, it was in full Christmas swing. (Last MNSSHP was 11/1). We had the tree, the Elsa castle, the jungle cruise overlay (that might have been 11/6?), and pointsetias everywhere. They filmed the parade in November last year so that might have contributed, the first MVMCP was held on the 7th.

I don't remember as much Christmas stuff at Epcot, but we met Santa goofy in DHS and I remember some theming in AK as well!

Would it be safe to assume that. Tuesday night in late September (with PM EMHs) would still be a better bet than a Saturday morning (11-1ish?). We are wanting to plan one full day and two half days but the way the Halloween Party schedule looks like it's going to fall (no party on the last Tuesday with an 8pm close) it leaves us with the option of a half day being that Tuesday evening (with PM EMH) or that Saturday morning (and then hopping somewhere else).

Yes, especially if you want to do anything in World Showcase. We went to Epcot one Saturday morning on our last trip. By 11 am, World Showcase was packed, much busier than when we stopped by during EMH.

Thanks for sharing that info, cel_disney! That's really good to hear! I do remember they did the parade earlier last year. Wonder if they'll do that again this year, but I read it had to do with performer's schedules but who knows if that's true. Anyway, I'm glad to hear Xmas stuff was up pretty early in Nov, makes me feel better about going a month a few weeks earlier than we usually do and that we'll still have a good bunch Christmas magic!
