Christmas decorations are going up

Christmas is arriving around the World -- Disney World, that is. My wife and I were at Epcot Saturday (our 15th and final visit to this year's Food & Wine Festival) and were excited to see that the park's Christmas trees were up and Christmas garlands had been strung over the entrance turnstiles. The beautiful tree at the end of the walkway leading to World Showcase is up and decorated, and so is the tree in the courtyard of the American Adventure. The rest of the decorations can't be far behind.

It may have been 80 degrees, but just seeing the decorations made it seem like the holidays. I'm sure decorations are going up in the other parks, as well. There's just no place like Disney during the Christmas holidays!

Re: Christmas decorations are going up

WhenI read this I want to go at Christmas next year for my WDW trip. My DH and I are trying to decide on when to go for the 06 trip. We were decided on Nov-Dec but then we went last week of October this year and it was pretty chilly in the 50's and too crowded for us. When will all the decorations including the osbourne lights at MGM???Now or not till December?? When do they start the Christmas parade and the Christmas Country Bears??

Re: Christmas decorations are going up

Christmas, and it's 80 degrees? Seems so strange to a Michigan gal! I love holiday decorations, and Christmas music! One of the local radio stations started playing 24 hour Christmas music on Friday. My boss said no until after Thanksgiving. Scrooge McDuck! My kids and I have been listening and singing all weekend long. Can't wait to really rev up the holiday spirit in.... LESS THAN 10 DAYS!!!

Reading all these TR's are getting me excited!

I believe they start with all the Christmas stuff shortly after Thanksgiving...

Re: Christmas decorations are going up

Apparently, for Disney starting Christmas in December makes too much sense. Just kidding! I'm a little annoyed at everywhere else starting Christmas Oct/Nov, but Disney makes starting Christmas early look like a pretty cool idea. Though it does get you a little depressed there is a little over a month in the way, it gets you excited and a little happier to be at Disney with Christmas decorations everywhere.

Re: Christmas decorations are going up

I love christmas, but I am glad that I won't be at WDW until December as I don't feel I can start christmas until December! It is nice to hear that others can get to see the world in it's christmas dress!

Re: Christmas decorations are going up

Well guys, Christmas has officially began at WDW. Yesterday, Animal Kingdom had their first Christmas Adventure Begins, the characters decked out in their holiday gear, and of course, the very INCREDIBLE Jingle Jungle Parade.

To answer some of ya'll's ideas. A big reason that Disney starts Christmas so early is that people from all over the world come every year to this most happiest place on earth to celebrate Christmas and see all of the beauty that is WDW this time of year. Doing it early is the only way for many millions of guests to see Disney since most of them spend Christmas at home.

The weather in Orlando has been absolutely gorgeous lately -- the kind of weather we Central Floridians look forward to all year: low humidity and moderate temperatures. It's 75 degrees as I write this at 10:30 a.m., with the five-day forecast calling for highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s.
