WHEN and WHERE to See Santa in Disney World Without a Park Ticket!

A very important part of the Christmas season is getting to chance to say hello to Santa Claus!

There will be plenty of places to spot Santa Claus around Disney World this season, including on cavalcades and parade floats. And you’ll get to meet him at select locations inside the parks as well. But now we have more info on where you can meet Santa in Disney World — and you don’t even need a park ticket!

Santa Claus is coming to Disney Springs this year for physically distanced meet-and-greets and photos.

If you’re hoping to say hello to the guy in the big red suit, head to Once Upon a Toy, where you can hop in the virtual queue and then shop around Disney Springs while you wait your turn.

There will be Disney PhotoPass photographers on the scene to take your picture, or you can use your own phone or camera. If you want to buy the pictures that the PhotoPass photographer takes, you can pay for the digital download on your My Disney Experience app.

Santa will be in Disney Springs on November 12th through December 14th from 10AM to 9PM, and from December 15th through December 24th from 10AM to 11PM. After that, he’s got to dash off to deliver gifts!
