Hey Stephen!
Less than 30 sleeps until you're celebrating the holidays at Walt Disney World! I know you must be so excited, as well as your 5 year old blessing.
As you can imagine, a meeting with Santa Claus is one of the most requested experiences during the holidays at Walt Disney World. You'll be able to meet with him within the Candy Cane Garden in Magic Kingdom Park. Santa is available for Meet and Greets daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you'll be attending
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Santa will also be meeting with guests during this special event.
If you'd like to really spend quality time with "Father Christmas," he will be telling tales of Christmas past in the United Kingdom pavilion of Epcot as part of the Holiday Storytellers at World Showcase. You'll also be able to meet with Santa, and Mrs. Claus, at Santa's Village in the American Adventures pavilion. These 70 minute sessions are offered daily at 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.
Lastly, you'll be able to chat with Santa at Santa's Chalet within Downtown Disney. As you can see, Santa Claus is eager to meet with all guests this holiday season!
I hope this helps you with your planning, Stephen. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask us at any time. We wish you a happy holiday season and a truly magical vacation!
