Changed the thread title to reflect the fact that I’m now considering WL in lieu of CR.

Definitely skip CR and go to WL instead. I’d probably boat or bus to WL first and try to get a bite at Geyser Point which is fully outdoors and may be cold later at night. Then head inside the DVC building and main building to check out all the decor which is sooo beautiful. Then I’d hop the bus back to MK and monorail to Poly for a walk around. It’s beautiful all the time, but I love all the holiday touches too. Lastly I’d end at GF which can be a crazy madhouse earlier in the evening. You can get a drink at Enchanted Rose or even the Citricos bar with an appetizer or dessert there.

There is no considering. There is only do.
Last time I was there at Christmas, this happened:
It was fricken magical. You’re going. End of discussion.

That’s so cool. Where in WL is this?
On the monorail, GF is the best, like everyone said. We’ve done the Christmas decorations tour twice in recent years. WL is our family’s favorite! From MK, you would take the boat there. Poly and CR doesn’t do much.
I know you’ve been to the Boardwalk but have you seen them at Christmas?
We toured all the deluxe resorts for decorations last December, including Ft Wilderness. I wished we could have seen Ft Wilderness at night.
I wrote about it here, starting with comment 63: gf
You can get some info here: gf
We followed it in 2019. I wrote about it here, in comment 24: DH. The Boardwalk resorts are just above that. WL is further up.
Enjoy the feast for the eyes.
ETA. Don’t know if links work. Fix it later on my computer.

Epcot resorts:
Boardwalk
Beachclub
Yacht Club:
BW and WL did not do the gingerbread displays last year but WL did do that amazing tree. The BC display is gingerbread and the YC train is just plain magical.
I do have photos of past MK and WL photos on you want to compare the monorail resorts.

Poly Christmas decor was meh. Totally skippable. We spent over an hour at GF. They had a huge chorus singing Christmas carols and then the band played. Amazing. Contemporary gingerbread house was cool but didn’t spend much time there.
Wilderness Lodge was my second favorite behind GF. If you don’t got to WL you are missing out. Christmas decorations there are absolutely beautiful. Way better than Poly and CR.
The gingerbread carousel at Beach Club was so cool as was the gingerbread display at Boardwalk. It was well worth a trip over there to see the Christmas decor.

Maybe I’ll skip Poly and just do WL and GF for this trip.
I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this.

Are these pictures from 2019? They had the Peter Pan themed carousel. In 2021, it was Little Mermaid.

Boardwalk didn’t do the gingerbread display in 2021. I was so disappointed!
