Does the tree go up in main street before the parade taping or only after?

Before.

Before.

We have been there the past couple of years between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and have not seen the tree up. Even before the parade, because we've come home and watched the parade on T.V. :shrug:

The tree no longer goes up until after the parade tapping is finished.

We went to WDW last year just after parade taping ... we got to talking w/a CM about how we were torn between the first and second week in Dec and he informed us we made a good choice by going w/the second week and post taping since wouldn't have seen the MK tree had we come pre-parade taping.

The tree is gone during the taping.

In years past it goes up before but over by the castle. After the parade taping they move it to the Main Street location.

I have been to the taping of Christmas parade the last 2 years and can confirm that he tree is not up until AFTER the taping. Last year for example Ryan Secrest was tapng his segments on a small stage on the area the tree was later erected.

Hi, Does anyone know what the dates are for parade filming this year? I'll be there from Nov. 25 - Dec. 4. Also, don't they have garlands with wreaths strung across Mainstreet? Or is that the same as the tree and not put up until after the filming? Just curious. Thanks!

The garlands across Main Street are down at least for the weekend of taping. Those might be something that only come down for the weekend, as they're relatively easy to pull down and put back.

As others have said, it's a coin-toss with the tree. Some years they've installed it on the lawn near the rose garden, others they've left it down entirely until after the parade taping. My guess is that due to cost-cutting, you won't see it put up until after the parade.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm not too worried about seeing them if they are not there when we are. There is plenty of other great Christmas stuff to look at and do while there, this would just add to it. Thanks!
