Disney's always so beautiful over the holidays, and it sounds like there are some really fun additions for 2017!

When do they decorate for Christmas? We are going the day after Thanksgiving. Just wondering if it will be decorated while we are there!

I CAN NOT WAIT! I am hoping for a peek of a Christmas decoration or two this weekend!!!! I am trying so hard to figure out how to get down there for a couple of days around Christmas time just to explore the resorts, Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail and maybe Holidays Around the World in Epcot.

They have already started Jamie, it's a process that rolls out throughout the month of November. It should all be up by the time you get there.
