No kidding - we've genuinely seen them on the balconies and front porches of houses in Celebration.

Would I Lie To You? Good suggestion for a TV programme.

The boat ride itself is maybe 10 minutes or so? We just looooved seeing the huge Christmas tree and all the decorations at WL, we spent maybe an hour or two there. Sat down in the lobby, got drinks from the bar and cupcakes from Roaring Fork and just relaxed and took it all in. The boat to WL leaves from the dock just below the MK monorail station.

We were at Fort Wilderness that year for Mickey's Backyard BBQ on Christmas day, and we loved the decorations there too, so if you like the boat and you have plenty of time, you could travel on to there from WL too. But if you have limited time, I'd take the boat back to MK from WL and focus on Poly and GF, as they have awesome decorations too.

Thank you this is so helpful!

If you just did a circuit of the three resorts without getting off I guess it takes around 15-20 minutes as it also stops at the MK entrance and the ticket centre.

How long you spend at each is up to you really. We never eat anywhere but maybe have a soda at one and do a bit of people watching or a mooch round the shops.

Maybe spend up to an hour at GF because the grounds are massive as well but less at the Poly and Contemporary.

You can also spend at least an hour at DS just wandering and spending nothing. In 2018 and 2019 there was a Christmas Tree walk through there and all the trees were decorated in Disney film or park themes.

Enjoy

Isn't it lovely to hear plans!

Thank you again...if we arrive at before 11am and then plan to spend some time at DS - fingers crossed they have the tree trail again as that sounds fab!
Then head off on the monorail, we should have plenty of time i hope!

Would I do this regardless? 100% YES !

They've announced that they will be starting to take the Christmas decorations down on January 2nd, so your timing is spot on!
