When do the Christmas Decorations go up?

[BC Disney Lover]

We want to see the decorations for Christmas but November would work better than December. How early do they go up and do they all go up at once or a little at a time? I know this must have been answered a hundred times but I can't find a definate answer. Thanks

They usually start at the beginning of November. I have seen them up as early as the first weekend. Also the holiday versions of Haunted Mansion (holiday version in October) & It's a Small World are open. Each week more & more decorations are added to the resort - California Adventure & the hotels. The fireworks usually begin in early November, & the holiday parade the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Here is the entertainment schedule from last November. The Believe fireworks and the Christmas Fantasy parade both started on the 16th.

When are you planning to go? I notice your from Vancouver, we're from Mission. Are you flying out of Van or Seattle?

 

[ScottShaft]

Actually....I'm from Abbotsford.....we're almost neighbours.

We were probably gonna fly out of Vancouver. When we went in October we got a deal for 4 nights plus airfare for $269. Flying out of Seattle would actually have cost us more. We are probably gonna do the same thing this time around. We're thinkin' of going from Nov. 19 - 23. Should work out just right. Although I'm not sure I can stand waiting 6 months. When we booked last October we did it only a few weeks before. ONLY 175 MORE SLEEPS!
