    Parents! 1st time @ WDW for holidays: leave in 3 wks! Our boys, ages 8 and 6, firmly believe in Santa Claus. Husband is concerned about Epcot's "Santa around the world" since that may confuse them, "Why is Norway's Santa different than our

    Hi Laura!

    That will be a beautiful time to visit Walt Disney World!  You can pick up a Times Guide when you enter Epcot and find out when each country will have their presentation regarding their version of Santa Claus.  It's pretty easy to time your visit to the various pavilions to miss them if you are concerned about your children. 

    According to the independent site VisitNorway.com, Norway has its own kind of Santa Claus.  Nissen has existed in Norwegian folklore throughout the ages.  He was on the of the "little people" who can treat people well or cause mischief depending on how he was treated.  There's a barn nisse, church nisse, ship nisse, house nisse, and yes even Julenissen, the Norwegian term for Santa Claus.

    Hopes this help!  By the way, be sure to see the Candlelight Processional when visiting Epcot!  It's absolutely wonderful and it's worth it to do the dining package to avoid having to wait in line for a couple of hours!  It will definitely put you in a holiday spirit!
