When does the tree go up in WL?

[julluvsdisney]

Considering doing a split stay during our next trip but want to make sure we get to see the tree all set up at WL. We will be there from Nov 25-Dec 2. Anyone know when it will be up ? TIA!!

It will be up then...deluxe resorts are decorated first...it is usually complete by the week before Thanksgiving. Have a great trip!

It's actually a lottery system as to which resort gets decorated when. I'm not sure it's a 100% guarantee.

What would be the latest the resort would be decorated do you think?

I don't think there is a set date, so it's hard to answer that question. It would seem to me that the hotel would be decorated by the 25th, but the decorating could actually take place during your stay.

By the end leg of your trip they will be up for sure if it makes you feel better.

It was up kind of late this past year. I don't remember the exact date, but it was up when I arrived on December 1st.

I would think it has to be up by thanksgiving.

Everything is up by Thanksgiving day, but work will be happening at different resorts based on the lottery in the days preceding Thanksgiving.

Last year, I don't think the big tree was up at WL until the Monday before thanksgiving.

FYI, in 2012 the tree was up on Monday the 12th with some decorations around the lobby. More decorations went up overnight the next couple of days. By the time we got to AKL on Wednesday that tree was up.

Last year, the WL tree went up on 11/24. It should be up by your stay! See you there!!!
