MK @ Xmas

[buyerbrad]

2 quick questions:

When do they take down the Xmas decorations?

Is there a Xmas themed parade that happens during regular hours?

We will be in Florida Dec. 27 - Jan. 6 and have 4 days to spend in the parks. We are not interested in seeing any of the New Years fireworks on the 31st or the "pre-show" fireworks on the 30th. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks for your quick response!

Is it an afternoon parade? At what time(s) does it usually occur?

Based on your dates, the Xmas decorations will be up. I was in MK that same week this year and every decoration was still up, including the castle lights.

The Christmas-themed parade is only availed at MVMCP. However, about a week before Christmas the parade is available to be seen during the normal park hours (around the afternoon time).

12:30PM and 3:30PM... but the timing MIGHT change this year.

AlwaysAlwaysALWAYS get a Map/Event Times guide when you first come in the parks! I know apps will help, like MDE and Lines from Touring Plans, but if you have wifi issues, you still have that physical map to go by.
