Starting sometime between Nov. 3-5, MK's Decorations will be in place and lit, the Castle Ice Lights will be operating.

DHS' Osborne Lights will be up (but not lighted until Nov. 6th.)

There is big difference between the OP's dates of Oct 29 - Nov. 7 and yours of Nov. 12-16 as far as decorations being up and lighted.

I thought it was announced a few weeks ago that the Osborne Lights will begin on November 6th.

You're correct.
Fixed.
Thanks!

EVERYTHING will not be up that early in Nov. MK will be fully decorated, minus the tree that doesn't go up until after parade taping in December. Osborne Lights will be up and running. But EP and AK will not be fully done and the resort decorations will still be going up.

Hey Robo, Will there be any way to know when the Castle lights will be lit for sure ? We're there from Oct 30 to Nov 8. I scheduled Nov 4th as our MK day. I could move it but will loose some fast passes. Thanks

Although they have been "announced" as beginning Nov. 5, this year.
the lights will have been up on the castle, tested and ready to go, for many weeks prior.
They can turn them on anytime they want (with or without the "Frozen" ceremony.)

Hope for the best.

At MK:
Regular Wishes runs on nights without a MVMCP.
"Christmas Wishes" runs on nights WITH a MVMCP (only during the party.)
Starting the first night after the last MVMCP, "Christmas Wishes" runs every night at MK through Dec. 30.

Ohh, thanks. I might actually get to see Osborne Lights since I leave on the 7th of November. Never imagined they'd be up and running before the end of my trip!

so no frozen holiday wishes for november 6.. that was to good to be truelol

You'll get to see at least some of the stuff, as Robo pointed out! I would go out on a limb and say "most" of the decorations will be up, having been there during Christmas week before (2007), as well as the halloween/christmas "switchover" week (2012), I didn't notice much missing from the parks (in terms of decor) in early November vs December, though there were a few years between those visits. The large trees at the resorts may not be up then, and the special gingerbread houses and such likely won't be up at that point either, but a lot of the stuff around the parks will be - like poinsettias, wreaths, and garlands, as well as some displays like the toy soldier photo-op in the MK. Epcot likely won't have too much going on at that point though, aside from decorations, but over in Animal Kingdom you might be able to catch the first holiday parade. So you'll at least get the holiday atmosphere, but there are some "holiday happenings" that you won't get in on, unfortunately. It's an awesome time of year to visit though, enjoy!!!

If you mean "Holiday Wishes" then, no.

 

[siskaren]

Did someone say that?
AFAIK, they will be performing the Frozen Holiday Wish (Castle Lights) ceremony on Nov. 6.

And, it's possible that they will offer it (or at least the LIGHTS) earlier than that.

I think cath1979 is mashing together Frozen Holiday Wish (the castle lighting show) with Holiday Wishes (the holiday version of Wishes).

Okay for some reason I just got confused. Robo are you saying they will officially light the castle with the frosted Christmas lights on regular nights after Nov 5th ? Sorry to ask but for some reason I'm confused. Having never seen the Castle lit that way I'm hoping.
