Christmas Decorations in Parks?

[VacationDisney]

When are all the parks at WDW fully decorated for the Christmas holidays? We are thinking of a trip, to include the grandchildren, and are hoping to go Thanksgiving week. I know it will be CRAZY busy, but that is the best time for the grandchildren since the oldest will be in school. Have no great expectations of what we can and cannot do, just going to have a wonderful time doing what we do!

Thanks for any information that you can provide!

All the Christmas decorations will be up by Thanksgiving. This year most of them were up in early November

We were there from November 7th thru the 19th and pretty much everything was decorated. To tell you the truth it was Christmas EVERYWHERE and Christmas music was playing at all the parks. If you can swing it you should try to get tickets to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party. It was so much fun!!

There is no MVMCP Thanksgiving Week. The last one is the Friday before and then returns the Sunday after. But, the Holdays Around the World with the storytellers and CP starts on Black Friday. This past holiday season there was an area in Disney Sorings that was a Christmas Tree Trail and the deluxe resorts are not to miss especially GF, WL, CR, AKL, BC, YC, and BW not to mention the campgrounds at FW. If you have time the Swan and Dolphin.

We've gone Thanksgiving weekend and stayed for the first week following Thanksgiving. If you can swing that, it may not be as busy and you'll have all the decorations to enjoy.
