Question about Christmas Decorations

[cgc217]

Hello! New to this awesome site. My family is going to WDW the week of Thanksgiving---arriving the night before Thanksgiving Day. We are booked in the Contemporary. We have a quick question/questions about Christmas decorations seeing as though we haven't been during the holidays in over ten years. First, will the Christmas decorations in the parks be up by the day we arrive? What about the resorts? Any input is greatly appreciated! We are all very excited---it's my three year old sisters first WDW Thanksgiving trip. Thanks....from Miami.
