Welcome to planDisney, Emily!
We are so happy to hear from you again, and hope that you are getting excited for the upcoming holiday season! You’re going to be enjoying the magic in just a handful of days! While it’s not the North Pole, I do highly recommend bringing a light jacket in your suitcase as we have been experiencing colder morning and evening temperatures! (It’s been lovely to stop by
Joffery’s locations to get a warm drink!)
The
PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs is a great, indoor location to get some incredible photos during your vacation! They’ll have about 10 different backgrounds for you to choose from each month. There are some festive backgrounds, Disney-inspired backgrounds, and more neutral backgrounds. There will also be a small holiday scene or two available for you to take pictures within.
To take pictures with
Santa Clause himself at Disney Springs, you’re going to need to join the virtual queue within the
My Disney Experience Mobile App as a standby queue will not be available. Santa is meeting Guests near
Disney’s Pin Traders shop. There are multiple times throughout the day that you can join the virtual queue to meet and take pictures with Santa. 9:00AM, 11:00AM, 1:00PM, 3:00PM, 6:00PM are the current times that you can join the virtual queue. (Subject to change so please refer to the app when you’re on vacation.) Please also note that you must be at Disney Springs in order to enter the virtual queue.
I hope you get all of the photos you’re hoping for, Emily! If you have additional questions, we hope to hear from you again soon at planDisney!
