Christmas dec's

[Bigboybrian]

Hi all
Can someone please tell me when the Christmas dec's go up in WDW. Am i right in saying they go up after Thanks Giving. If that is ture when is Thanks giving, is it the 3rd Thursday in November.

Thanks

Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November. The parks will be totally decked out at that time :thumbs:

Hey JM we leave on the 7th of November, will we see anything by then?

[JuniorMickey]

Probably not much Wes. I can tell you that at the moment the Osborne Lights are still hanging up :rolleyes: you may see touches here and there but nothing major

[WesD]

Ah well :shrug:

I'll just have to go back when they're up! :thumbs:

They do start the resorts in early November, and Osborne seems to be a permanent project.

JM, did you see if they were finished and possibly decking out Chicago street at all?

[Bigboybrian]

Thanks JM thats helped us to decide a date.
BTW who's the picture off. Is he a football player i am from England and don't know too many of your football players.

Umm JM, when did they move Thanksgiving? :eek: It is ALWAYS the 4th Thursday, not the 3rd Thursday in November. :) This year Thanksgiving falls on Nov 24th.

Decorations for Christmas seem to go up earlier and earlier every year. The big events, like the lighting of the Christmas tree and Archway at EPCOT are reserved for after Thanksgiving, but many areas are decorated before then.

Gone are the amazing and awe inspiring days of when WDW was magically decorated overnight on Thanksgiving. :(

But it does make it nice for folks who can't be there at or after Thanksgiving. At least you will get to see some of the decorations.

Thanks USC - Brain wasn't functioning well yesterday :D

Bigboybrian - the picture is Tedy Bruschi of the New England Patriots, winner of three of the last four Super Bowls.

Mac - I just noticed as Mister E and I were walking to the stunt show that the lights were still up and for some reason that bothered me. I'll look I'll double check the area in a couple weeks

JM, I think they are in the process of going up - they weren't there when I was there in February and July. I find them horribly ugly in the daytime, unlike Residential Street during the day of the old Osborne Lights.

[JuniorMickey]

I was irritated to see them up in September to tell you the truth. They're ugly and take away from photos you'd take there during the day

[Mickeymac]

I thoroughly agree. :(

[Josette]

They almost put them up over night. REALLY! :eek:

[CathyVad]

Does anyone know when the Christmas decorations come down. I am planning a trip in January?

[JuniorMickey]

Just after New Year's. As quickly as they go up they come down

Hi there, we are going on 7th November too! We are going with Virgin from Gatwick and staying in the All Stars Music hotel. I can't believe it's only just over 3 weeks now.
