Hello, Lisa,
Thank you for sending your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I adore visiting Walt Disney World during the
holidays as there are so many incredible decorations throughout the theme parks and resorts and so many fun holiday things to do, too. Last year, the first
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party was on November 7, 2016; however, the
Candlelight Processional didn't start until November 25, 2016, and the
holiday gingerbread decorations weren't available until November 23, 2016. It is likely that in 2017 history will repeat itself with similar dates, so that may help you to know when best to visit to take advantage of all the Christmas celebrations.
As you continue to plan your trip, please let us know if you have any further questions. Wishing you a magical trip! -
Kara
