Santa Claus is now meeting with Magic Kingdom guests during the day. For the past few weeks, he only met during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Santa Claus Meet and Greet
The Santa Claus meet and greet is part of Santa’s Christmas Carnival in Storybook Circus. This tent is located next to Pete’s Silly Sideshow. Though the sign features the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party logo, it is now open during the day.
Santa is on a green velvet bench next to a Christmas tree and circus-inspired decorations.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party guests can continue to meet Santa during the party. He also appears in Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, which is currently exclusive to the party but is usually performed during the day on the week of Christmas. Check out our full guide to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
We also received a mini candy cane after meeting Santa.
Santa will meet at Magic Kingdom from Thanksgiving Day (November 27) through Christmas Eve (December 24).
Guests can also meet Santa at Restaurantosaurus in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, in Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and near Pin Traders at Disney Springs. At EPCOT, guests will be able to meet Santa Claus in CommuniCore Hall and Santa Goofy at the Odyssey pavilion during the Festival of the Holidays, which begins on November 28.
