We will be there in mid December too this year! We absolutely cannot wait.
As of now, there hasn't been anything officially announced for Christmas activities and everything Disney plans to do at WDW this year.
I think it'll be interesting to watch how the Halloween Boo Bash after hour events go as they may gauge them and determine if they are a good fit for this years Christmas events rather than the usual Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I think it's important to have expectations set correctly because not only is this year not normal with COVID potentially lingering, but also the 50th celebration starting in October with its own special aspects that will probably take priority over the normal Christmas and holiday decoration, events, fireworks, parades, etc.
With the new 50th celebration firework show "Disney Enchantment" starting October 1st, and presumably running through the full 18 month celebration (nothing has been said they will NOT run this show every day), I don't think we should expect the normal Christmas fireworks show at MK this year. And unfortunately, with the ribbons and pearls draped over Cinderella Castle, I don't think we'll be seeing the dream lights again this year.
With all this said, I have no doubt whatever they will announce will be amazing at each park and the resorts. We probably can expect the usual amazing decor with awesome flairs of the 50th theming. I know we can't wait!

I agree, Christmas is definitely my favorite time of year to visit the parks and stroll around the hotels - I'm a sucker for elaborate Christmas decorations - can't wait to see how everything is presented and what surprises await

I love Christmas at MK. I'm hoping to maybe take my mom next year. My parents are a professional Santa and Mrs Claus, so taking my dad during "the season" is out of the question, but my mom desperately wants to see all the decorations. It's hard for her to get away after Halloween because she manages the business and has jobs with him. Since we're going for Halloween this year, we've had to tell my dad he's not allowed to wear any red, or do his hair, or his glitter or anything of the sort. We're trying to de-santa him as much as possible.

I know the Christmas season has barely begun, but does anyone know when the Christmas decorations usually come down by? We are thinking of planning a trip for early or mid January, and were wondering if we would still catch any of the Christmas decor.
