Meeting Santa at Walt Disney World

Santa Claus is comin’ to town – and to the Walt Disney World Resort!

Planning to pay him a visit? Read on for a list of places you can spy Santa at WDW this year.

From the sparkle in his eyes to the sound of his laugh, our fave Santa to visit is the jolly old elf at Disney Springs. You’ll be able to find him at Once Upon a Toy starting Friday, November 12th. He is the absolute essence of St. Nick.

If you want some individual attention from Santa, and the chance to wave hello and share your wish list, you can head to any of these three main places.

And if you’re simply hoping to catch him in passing style? Keep an eye out for him floating by on the Discovery River at Animal Kingdom, or cruising down Hollywood Boulevard in a convertible Hollywood Studios. These surprise sightings are sure to delight.

But that’s not all of course. There will be other magical opportunities to spy the big guy, such as during special meals like the Santa Breakfast at T-Rex Cafe, in the After Hours parade, and in surprise pop up visits.

In honor of Santa Claus comin’ to town, here are some of my fave Santa moments with my boys.
