Santa’s on His Way
Santa is a familiar sight at Walt Disney World, showing up in many locations. In EPCOT, the different countries participate in “Holidays Around the World” and storytellers present their nations’ own special traditions which often include some type of Santa or Father Christmas figure. Find the familiar jolly “American” Santa Claus at the American Adventure.
He also makes appearances during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and, of course, is always part of the Walt Disney World Christmas Parade. There’s generally a Santa Claus meet and greet in the Magic Kingdom during the day, beginning in early December. In addition, he somehow manages to make his way to Downtown Disney for Christmastime in the City.
Those looking for something a little different in a Santa will find Santa Goofy at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Look for him at Santa Goofy’s Wild Wonderland reading to pose for pictures. He also makes his appearances in the Jingle Jungle Parade.
On Christmas Eve, he visits the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels to discuss gift lists and provide photo opportunities.
Families with small children who have decided to spend Christmas at Walt Disney World will often arrange for packages to be shipped to their resort hotel to ensure that there are lots of toys and goodies on Christmas morning!
