Magic Kingdom Christmas Holiday decorations 2020
Posted: Monday November 2, 2020 9:41am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World is now officially out of the fall Halloween season and into the holidays with the arrival of the Christmas tree at the Magic Kingdom.

Holiday Services worked overnights through the weekend to remove the fall decor and bring in the Christmas holiday package.

Unlike Halloween, which saw a reduced set of decorations, the majority of the decorations for the Christmas holiday are all in place.

Although the decorations are up, the holiday season doesn't officially begin at Walt Disney World until November 6, which will see seasonal cavalcades and Cinderella Castle projections.

Social distancing was a problem in only 1 line. The family behind us at ROTR was all over us. A dad and 3 kids and dad didn’t seem to care. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good to hear. It’s weird not being there... I’m always at WDW for New Years!

Just left the Studios. Got in 7 rides in just over 7 hours with lunch and some shopping mixed in. Crowds were about what I expected for NYE. Mask compliance was exceptional! Going back after dinner.

Yup! It's likely due to the COVID restrictions that limit capacity.

My first time not being at Disney for New Years since 2004!

Not happening. Just like Universal and Disney could have increased capacity just for one day (today)

jrhwdwDec 31, 2020

Yes! MOUCAT Cavalcades today! At least Santa anyway!
