Hey Jason! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so thrilled to hear from you and can't wait to answer your first question. You must be over the moon about staying at one of my favourite places -
Disney's Wilderness Lodge! It's really the perfect place, isn't it? A great location, an outlandish pool, a Character Dining experience that's out of this world at
Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, and the best brunch on the property, in my opinion, at the
Whispering Canyon Cafe.
I'm sure you'll have a magical time, Jason!
Now, let's talk about the most wonderful time of the year - Christmas! It's a bit early to know exactly when all the Christmas decorations will be up. With so many
Disney Collection Resorts to decorate, schedules may vary from year to year. However, based on previous years, most Resorts finish their decoration by Thanksgiving weekend. This is just from my experience and talking with
fellow panelists, but it should give you a better idea. I'm confident you'll be able to see and snap photos with your Resort Christmas Tree before you check out.
Although I can't give you a final answer right now, I do have some other suggestions to get you in the Christmas spirit! Check out the gingerbread house on display at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the Christmas Tree Trail at
Disney Springs, and
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, a permanent year-round shop at Magic Kingdom with Disney ornaments, stockings, and goodies galore to celebrate Christmas year-round.
Jason, I hope you have a magical time!
Please let us know if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help a friend as enthusiastic about Christmas as you!
Cheers
Nilson
