Hi, my brother and I are planning for next year. He has been seeing all the Halloween stuff and wants to go then. I have been watching the Christmas stuff and want Christmas. I wondered if we could both be happy. Please tell me when Christmas goes up?
 
From what I have read, decorations go up first at MK after the last Halloween party and are up at all parks and resorts by around Thanksgiving.
 
As others have stated - the MK will be all decked out the morning after the last Halloween party which is Nov 1st this year so on the 2nd Christmas season begins. The other parks are a little slower and it tends to be closer to Thanksgiving for their Christmas transformations.

Watch the youtube video and be amazed at what is accomplished between the last guest leaving and the first guests the next morning. We experienced it first hand last year and I couldn't believe it. Even the Jingle Cruise was going on Nov 1st.

I'm going on Halloween this year for a few days. Will let you know if Christmas begins November 2 (after last Halloween party).

Thanks so much for the video. I loved it!
 
Do you think there is the tiniest chance of a Christmas themed parade or entertainment in MK by November 4th?
 
thank you everyone for the info. It's tough choosing between Halloween and Christmas because the decor for both is just so pretty. Can you share with me what is your favorite?
 
110% adding this to my Disney bucket list. LOL! I've seen some crazy overnight changes (most recently pre- and post-Irma) but not quite that drastic!

ETA: Christmas is my favorite, by FAR. Castle lights!! <3
 
When MK is decorated the day after the last Halloween Party, will they light up the castle that first night or does that come later?
 
We've been to Disney in September 2010 and September 2016, so we have only seen it decorated for fall/Halloween.
We're going next month and can't wait to see the Christmas decorations!!
