Best WDW Santa?

[pixiedust33]

We’re going the week before Christmas, likely hitting all four parks at least briefly and trying to decide where to meet Santa. In terms of best, I suppose my first priority is the shortest line. But also interested in who has the best set for pictures or where people have had great interactions! I know he’s at all four parks and Disney Springs but looking for advice on which one to pick. Not really thinking the Epcot storytellers as I want someone my four year old will unequivocally believe is Santa. I’m leaning towards MK, because we have a full day there, but would be swayed away from that if you all tell me it’s much more crowded there.

I’m surprised no one has responded to this question, I would also like to know!

I also posted this in “theme park attractions and strategies” after no one replied and I got a few responses there! I think you can find it if you click on my username to see my post history.

This will be a new location for Santa photo meet at EPCOT beginning Nov14

Apparently last year was the last for the Dino-Institute with Santa meet.
So a new location for AK , I guess

MK also changed their location so it might be in the gazebo behind the year round Christmas Store .

I am seeing reports online from last year that Santa Goofy and Santa Stitch and Santa Duffy take over for Santa when he returns to the NorthPole on 12/24.

Also the location in Hollywood Studios last year was by the Xmas Store near Pizza Rizzo but that is gone for construction update too !
So another new location !
I found a helpful article from the DisneyParksBlog last year so they will be updating for this year . Hopefully soon !
I think the Disney Springs location requires a Virtual Q reservation …

I guess that explains No responses cause we’re all waiting for Santa to arrive

I agree this is a better place for your trip planning

We have found MK Santa to be great and very socialable along with his helpers. Now, I am not sure if we just got lucky but we were at Epcot years ago and was not planning on taking Santa pics but when my DW saw that Mrs. Clause was also there we had to stop, rarely have a pic with both and our DDs loved meeting her
