We’ve been here at Wilderness Lodge since Monday - no tree in the lobby yet! Does anyone know when the Christmas Trees come to the resorts’ lobbies? (Even the one at the GF wasn’t up when we went by there yesterday)

I asked a few minutes ago. They don’t know (or can’t tell me). They just said “it’s not here yet.”  |

They are on a lottery system. No way to know when.

It should go up this weekend, right? I don’t remember any Thanksgiving week where hotels weren’t decorated.

We are putting up ours at home does that count?
If you are checking out the decorations at Epcot the Land has finished putting up their lights so a quick trip on the boat ride might be worth it.

Well . . . today (Sunday) is the day we’re leaving . . . and still no sign of the Christmas Tree. Maybe another year.  |

They are on a lottery system. No way to know when. Does anyone know the way this lottery system works. I ask because it seems every year WL, AKL and GF are always the last 3. Are they on a different lottery system? We are looking at the Saturday before Thanksgiving through the day before Thanksgiving and are worried we will not see all the trees up until maybe the day we check out. |

Two years ago I was there mid Nov and WL was up. I just looked at pics and both GF and WL were up on the 14th. I'm thinking it's just been bad luck on getting later dates for WL the last 2 years. My understanding is it is random every year. |

My understanding is it is random every year. That makes me feel better. I was on another site and it listed WL, GF and AKL as not having the trees until the week of Thanksgiving almost every year since 2018. I am glad your pictures show something different. Due to DD's college schedule next year we need to go earlier instead of the 1st week of December, at least for the next 4 years or so. |

Though mine were taking in the afternoon/evening. I noticed same day SSR was not up then either, but GF and WL were. That makes me feel better.
