How to meet Santa at Disney Springs Marketplace on Nov. 8
Disney has announced that guests can visit Santa Claus at Disney Springs from Nov. 8 to Dec. 24, 2024. Santa will set up shop in the former Star Wars Trading Post in the Marketplace area.
To meet Santa at Disney Springs this holiday season, guests will need to join a virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app after arriving at Disney Springs. The virtual queue will open at these times throughout the day:
- 9 a.m.
- 11 a.m.
- 1 p.m.
- 3 p.m.
- 6 p.m.
Here’s what you need to know to meet Santa:
- You must be physically present at Disney Springs to join the virtual queue and see Santa.
- Only one person in your group needs to request entry for your entire party. When your spot is ready, you’ll receive a push notification with a link to your digital entry code.
- If you can’t find your entry code, tap the three-line “hamburger” menu in the app and go to “Virtual Queues.”
- Each group can have up to 10 people.
- The virtual queue is subject to availability, so plan to join as early as possible to secure your spot.
In addition to the Disney Springs, Santa will also be making a special appearance at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this holiday season. Guests can meet him at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party on the patio at Restaurantosaurus.
Join Santa and the Dino Institute students and faculty for a festive celebration from Nov. 12 to Dec. 24. This is a perfect opportunity for families to create lasting memories with a visit from the jolly old man himself. So come and see Santa at Animal Kingdom.
