Festival of the Seasons & Santa Claus at Downtown Disney
We are going to be at Disney November 25-30.... I want to take my almost 2 year old to meet Santa. I was thinking about going the Sunday after Thanksgiving to see Santa.
Anyone know how busy DTD may be this day? Does anyone have pictures of the Santa at DTD? How long did you have to wait to see Santa?

I didn't even think about being able to meet Santa! We're going in December. So it's in Downtown Disney? When the time comes how would we know what times he's there or is he just there all day?

Does anyone else have pictures of DTD Santa or suggestions on how to make the process of meeting him go well? Are there photo pass people there or do you have to buy the picture they take?

I think it is the same santa every year, bc I have a picture of my girls with Santa 3 years ago, and its the same santa =) There are photo pass people there, however you can also take a picture with your personal camera and they do not charge for that =)

We have visited Santa at DTD every year since 2007, when our twins were 11 months old. We will be returning for 6th trip to sit on his lap this December.
He is by far the BEST Santa ever... and you cant beat the fact you can add them to your photopass account!!! (Plus lines are not long at all! Especially at night- post meal at Wolfgang Puck Express!) Who needs to visit the mall at home? In fact, my boys walked by the LOOONNNNNNG line of kids waiting at our local mall for Santa last year and whispered in my ear... "MOM... those kids dont know that he isnt real." For a second I was crushed fearing they had stopped believing... they quickly followed it up with "That Santa is just a pretend Santa to help the real one, cause the REAL Santa lives in Florida." HAHAHAHAHA... I had to laugh... so much for the North Pole. (Or maybe he's a snowbird? HAHA)... but they definitely believe, and Christmas wouldnt be the same without visiting Santa at DTD every year.

I have never visited the DTD Santa, but we did the Epcot Santa & Mrs Clause. They were pretty great as well.
As for crowds, I know the parks are fairly crowded that day, and I would also assume it is a big shopping day as well. I don't know if they list crowd levels for DTD?

Does anyone know what time Santa "opens?" (for lack of a better word! Lol). We are planning a morning on an off day to go see him at DTD. Thanks

I want to know the times also. I did see that last year during the week of thanksgiving he didn't arrive until 5 pm. I don't know if that is the time for the whole season or if that will carry over to this year. We are also trying to fit him into our schedule for next Monday or Wednesday and knowing his times would be super helpful!
