Hi there, Patricia - welcome to
planDisney!
I'm so glad that you stopped by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your own magical Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
All holidays are magical at Walt Disney World Resort, and with the
50th Anniversary Celebration in full swing, every day truly is a magical celebration! That being said, there is something extra special about the winter holiday season, so I completely understand you wanting to experience the decorations!
We've learned from the past two years that change is inevitable, but we can still estimate when decorations will go up based on what's happened in the past. The process to decorate for the winter holidays typically starts immediately after Halloween, and can take a couple of weeks to be fully completed. These teams of dedicated Cast Members have a lot of holiday pixie dust to sprinkle around, so it does take a bit of time for the full transformation.
If you have the time, be sure to check out the decorations at
all four Theme Parks,
Disney Springs, and the
Resorts - holiday magic is everywhere! You should also keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for any news about the potential return of any holiday
After Hours events or parties!
I hope this information is helpful -
please let us know if we can answer any additional questions!
