This is great news!! We'll be there Nov. 15-22nd and will get to see just about everything! What a great way to jump start the holiday excitement. I know it will have me inspired to get our family decorations up once we get back home! Thanks for the info Paula!

Thanks so much for the info!!!!!! We'll be down there Dec. 7-12. I don't even want to think about how many pictures I'm going to have to take to show everyone at home here how beautiful WDW looks during the holidays!

[preidel24]

The Christmas tree in the GF is absolutely incredible it so huge you have to see it to believe it. The balls on the tree are bigger than an adults head. We took a picture in front of it of our 3 DS and made it our Christmas card that year. They also have a full size (that you could walk into) gingerbread house. Make sure you check out the resort decoration it really worth it.

Thanks for the tip Paula! I definitely planned on checking out the decorations at the GF! While were on the subject, what are some other "must see" resorts to go camera crazy on during the holidays?

[preidel24]

Alexa1466,

The WL comes to mind it's beautiful. The Poly plants poinsetta among the tropical plantings it looks so cool. MGM with all the 40's cheesy decoration was different and I enjoyed them. I remember really loving all the differnt countries at Epcot and of course MK was very pretty. I didn't care too much for AK and I really didn't see many other resorts besides WL, Poly, GF, POR CR. The WL was very well done and unique while the GF was impressive. There are a few hotels missing (mine) I'm hoping it will be decorated early if not I'll enjoy the other Christmas decorations.

Yeah I found it!!!! I have to print it out and put it in my folder. I thought that they didnt start getting ready until after Thanksgiving. So I get the decorations without the Christmas crowds. Wonderful!!!!!

[ajbdk5]

I never even knew it was done like that, you're an asset to DC!!!!
