How long after Christmas does Disney World keep their decorations up?
I am going to Florida to visit my grandparents on Jan 1st and we're hoping to spend a day or two at Disney World. I've always dreamed of seeing Disney decorated for Christmas so I was if anyone knew when they started to take thier decorations down. Is there a chance I could still see them if I went as soon as I got to Florida? Thanks!
The lights at Hollywood Studios are scheduled to be up until January 4. So I would guess that would be standard among the four Disney parks.
