Italian Christmas Decorations
 
Anyone know approximately when the Christmas decorations are put up in Italian? I have family coming to visit mid to late November and would like to take them if the parks are going to be decked out by then. when is the best time crowd wise to go to see all the Christmas decorations?
 
 
-All the decorations are normally supposed to be up and lit by Thanksgiving, and it takes a while to get everything up, I would say that most of the garlands and trees will be up in the parks up to a week before. But lighted displays will possibly not be turned on until Thanksgiving day. Of course this is my guess and since Disney does not consult me, the actual lighting dates for the various displays will likely be different. Since you specificly mention "mid to late November" you may want to wait until as near Thanksgiving as you can (while avoiding the actual T-giving weekend). Or if the timing fits you may wish to wait until the week after. This would give you all the decorations up and running, and lower than normal crowd levels. -Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. This year it's on the 25th. We have enjoyed the first full week in December. Crowds are really low and everything is in full swing. The weather can be a little iffy, but not anything you aren't already experiencing in Ireland, and probably a little better. -I'll let you know after I get a better look this December! My last trip was in mid-January, and some of the decorations had already been taken down.
