[caroline1851]

I'm planning a trip for next November and wuold like to see the holiday decorations. When do they typically go up? thanks!

I was just there Nov 8-13 and they were already up.

Does that include the resorts?

Everything tends to go up at varying rates throughout November, with everything being in place for the big kickoff the day after Thanksgiving.

We were just there Nov 1-20. MK and HS were fully decorated in time for the first MVMCP and Osborne kickoff (11/10). Osborne is actually earlier this year - last year it was the day after Thanksgiving. One missing piece in MK was the big tree. (Last year it didn't go up until 12/8 - after the Christmas parade taping)

EP and AK were mostly decorated last week and AK had already switched to the Jingle Jungle parade.

We didn't see much in the way of resort decorations at all by the 20th, but DTD was all decked out.

I am guessing that it will all be finished by Friday.

Except for the MK Christmas Tree, which likely will not go up until Dec. 7, or so.

Last year, they did not set up the MK tree until after the taping of the ABC Christmas Parade Special.

They previously used to set it up in the Hub until after the parade taping, then move it to Town Square (where is is supposed to be.)

Mk is done ( with the exeption of the big tree)by the 1st MVMCP in early Nov.The rest of the parks and resorts are in various stages of decor throughout Nov till completion Thanksgiving weekend.This year Osborne Lights at DHS started Nov 10th, but the year before that not until Thanksgiving.Things like the Candlelight Processional, The Holiday storytellers, The Holiday parade at AK do not start till Thanksgiving weekend.

Which seems to be the case this year too, as the tree isn't up yet.

Agreed.

But, since we have a bit more time between now and the parade,
I didn't want to say "for sure" about this year.
