Welcome to planDisney, Erin. I'm so excited for you to experience the magic of the 
Walt Disney World Resort for the 
holiday season!
Santa really is a jolly old elf, and a visit to tell him what you want for Christmas and get some truly spectacular photos is always a memorable experience. While he will interact and take pictures, he will likely not be able to hold your infant. After all, as my friend 
Melissa H. pointed out, he's been loading lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh and will be hauling a ton of them around on the big night. He's 
got to save up his strength! But don't worry, 
meeting Santa is always wonderful, especially in 
Disney Springs.
Speaking of taking pictures, the 
decor around this shopping and dining district makes wonderful backdrops...especially the trees along the 
Christmas Tree Stroll. Each of these trees is uniquely decorated, and there's a themed tree for pretty much everyone's interest. So find the tree that speaks to you and your family, and take a picture in front of it...or in front of all of them! It's truly a highlight of the season!
Erin, enjoy your visit to Disney Springs. And while you're there, be sure to check out the seasonal offerings at 
Swirls on the Water and 
Marketplace Snacks. There's always a tasty treat to indulge in! 
Reach out again if you have any other questions!
Christmas is a togethery sort of holiday,
Matt
