Of all the changes at Disney World this year, the one that we’ve loved the most might be the character cavalcades!
Mickey at EPCOT
Seeing Mickey and friends riding through the World Showcase or spotting our favorite princesses headed down Magic Kingdom’s parade route really helps us to feel the magic in the parks. We especially enjoy watching the unique holiday cavalcades around the parks, and post-Christmas, one of them got a switch-up!
We were visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios today when we happened to hear the Santa Claus Merry Motorcade strolling down Hollywood Boulevard!
Santa Claus Merry Motorcade
We saw the familiar elf dancers with their presents, and we heard the same festive music, but something was different…

…Santa was missing and Santa Goofy replaced him instead! We guess it was time for Santa to head back to the North Pole — he’s probably exhausted after delivering all those presents to the good girls and boys.
It’s Santa Goofy!
We don’t really mind though, because Santa Goofy is so adorable! He really hams it up for the crowd, as you can tell from the video below.

We’ll be keeping an eye out to see if Santa Goofy sticks around for the remainder of the holiday season. We’re definitely going to miss these festive motorcades when they’re gone!
Santa Goofy!
