November 23rd - Dec 2nd

 

[TerrytownGrl]

We'll be there at POP Nov 23 - Nov 29 and are so excited. We've never spent a Thanksgiving away from home, so this will be a new experience for us. And we can't wait to see Disney all decorated for Christmas.

Can anyone tell me if the park/hotel decorations usually go up before or after Thanksgiving day?

DH Me DD 9 and DNiece 12

 

[mom2npr]

This is our second time going for Thanksgiving. We will be there from 11/21-11/28. The Christmas decorations are up even before Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed it last time.

 

[linmc1129]

We will be there Nov 23-30. Dh, me, DD, DS, and MIL. My DD's bday is Nov 29th. We can't wait!!

 

[KingGrumpy]

This will be our second year in a row going to WDW over Thanksgiving. Last year Poly this year CR MK view. The weather was AWESOME last year, 70s and 80s everyday. We even got a chance to swim a couple days. The Christmas decorations are wonderful. We'll be dining at HDDR this year for Thanksgiving which will be our first time. Can't wait1

 

[michellelovesthemous]

We'll be there for 11 glorius days of Disney Holiday Magic from Novrember 28 to December 8th !!! Since Seattle weather stinks and we really aren't having summer here I would be perfectly happy skipping the next few months and going straight to November!!! I mean its June and we are having 49 degrees at 9am where's my sunshine!!!!

 

[4nana]

To all our new posters!!!!

Yeah, soon we can say only 5 mos out ! It's been a long time coming for our family grand gathering. But all the researching and planning has been part of the fun! We are anxious to get the show on the road now! With agreement of family and thx to Tour Guide Mike, our park order and ADR's just about planned out.

Hope everyone is having fun planning!! We can't wait!

Disneymom71, where are you, hope all is well?!?!

 

[disneyfan551]

We'll be there @ WDW from Thanksgiving day & will be doing a Western cruise on 11/29, returning to WDW on 12/6 for 2 nights. I just realized they aren't doing a MVMCP the Friday after Thanksgiving, so I'm freaking about that! We can't go to Disney and not do the MVMCP!!

 

[sraiford]

We'll be at ASMu November 26 - December 7! Can't wait! It's our first Thanksgiving @ Disney.

We will be at ASMu Family Suite Nov 29-Dec 5

Would you mind posting your itineraries, schedules, ADRs, etc.? I am tentatively planning a Thanksgiving trip (though not for this year) and I'd love some inspiration.

Thanks
