Holiday season?

[petals]

Just wondering when would be the best time to go to see the Christmas Holiday season in not only the Disney parks but Universal and Seaworld as well as we're hopefully going to be planning a trip for 2011 and was wondering would start or end of November be better to experience everything?

The end of November, right after Thanksgiving, beginning of December is great, as everything is in full swing, all the activities at all of the parks, decorations, concerts, parades, etc. We did go at this time this year and it was fabulous! We saw the Osborne lights, Candlelight Processional at Epcot, of course decorations throughout, at Disney; Celebration, spent an evening there, lovely...snow on Main Street with Christmas Carols, gorgeous decorations; Universal saw the Macy's parade followed by Manheim Steamroller Concert and Grinch Stole Christmas performance (excellent!). My sister and her husband went to Sea World and loved it, did the Polar Express. Can't say enough about it, crowds weren't too bad, weather was decent, a wonderful time!

I'm pretty sure some celebrations start around the 10th or 11th of November though.

Sea World should have everything up by Thanksgiving weekend. However, Universal generally doesn't kick off their Christmas season until the first weekend of December. Some decorations will be up earlier, but the Macys parade and the Grinchmas generally don't start until that weekend.
