You can see Santa in a number of spots in Disney World this year.
In Animal Kingdom, you’ll find Santa on a boat. In Hollywood Studios, Santa appears in a special motorcade. You can also spot him during Very Merriest After Hours in Magic Kingdom, and Santa will soon arrive in EPCOT. But, what if you don’t have a park ticket? Well, you could still see Santa if you follow some special steps!
Over at Disney Springs, fans can say “hello” to the man himself, Santa Claus, without a park ticket! To see him, you’ll want to head over to Once Upon a Toy.
But, it’s not quite as simple as going there and standing in line. To see Santa, you’ll need to sign up through the virtual queue. When you arrive at Once Upon a Toy, check for a sign with a QR code.
Once you join the queue, the system will tell you what group you’re in. When it’s your turn, you’ll be instructed to head to the experience and be given a time by which you must return.
Once you return and are ready to go, you’ll join a line to meet jolly old Saint Nick.
After you follow the arrows on the floor…
…you’ll find SANTA surrounded by a Christmas tree and lots of presents.

You could even ask him what his favorite cookie flavor is, like we did (we’ve got to ask the real hard-hitting questions here!).

Santa will be available in Disney Springs from now through December 24th, 2021. Masks are required and a Disney PhotoPass photographer will be able to capture photos for you at this experience, which you can then purchase.
We’ll keep an eye out for more holiday news from Disney World and let you know what we find!
