We’ve been celebrating the holiday season for a WHILE now at Disney World with festive character cavalcades, delicious treats, and more!
Santa
And while we’ve seen Santa in the parks in special ways this year, it seems jolly old Saint Nicholas has to spend a bit more time back in the North Pole preparing for Christmas 2021 and needs someone to take over some of his cavalcade duties. So, his more goofy counterpart has been popping up in Disney World!
That’s right, it’s Santa Goofy!
Santa Goofy!
We’ve already spotted Goofy in his very best Santa suit over in Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine, and he’s made his appearance in the motorcade at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We even saw him in water art form over at Magic Kingdom, but now Santa Goofy himself has made his way over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom too!
Santa Goofy
Today, we spotted Santa Goofy in the festive flotillas floating down the waters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, alongside Chip ‘n’ Dale in their adorable outfits.
