Epcot Santas

[Tink n Poohbear]

This is our 1st x-mas trip and I am BEYOND excited! I read something about storytime with Santas in each Epcot country. Can anyone tell me more about this? Is it possible to see all of them in one day?

You will be able to get a Times Guide at the entry to Epcot and I'm *pretty* sure it includes the story times for all the Santas/holiday story tellers. I'm not confident that you could get them all in on one day, though -- has anyone else attempted this? -- unless perhaps you really didn't want to do anything else? IMHO, the storytellers are lovely and add a nice element, but we catch them when we happen to be in the right place at the right time; it's not something we're willing to schedule our day around.... But, of course, to each his own!

the storytellers are awesome. their costumes and stories are wonderful and seemingly authentic. i WOULD be willing to plan a whole day around it. we have seen all of them in one day by using the time guide and a little planning.

Hi,

Since my family has been to WDW so many times during the holidays, last year we decided that we would spend one day seeing all of the holiday storytellers. We got a time guide and figured out the schedule and were able to hear all of the stories; however, we did not try to do anything else that particular day as far as rides, other shows, etc. We enjoyed all of the storytellers but especially had fun in China watching the Monkey King. Enjoy your trip.

We have very young children and was curious if the EPCOT Santas accidently gave anything away if you know what I mean. The question is, are they the real Santa's?

Thanks.

There are storytellers in each World Showcase country. The times are listed on the entertainment guide you can pick up at entry to Epcot.

These are NOT Santas all the time. These are storytellers who give a 10-15 minute presentation (not on stage) about how that particular country celebrates the holidays. America will have Santa. Other countries might do something different. China doesn't celebrate Christmas so they have The Monkey King who we consider one of the best storytellers. Each country will also have a sign somewhere in the country explaining the customs.

After the short presentation, the storyteller will hang around, sign autographs and posed for pictures.

It is difficult to organize your schedule to see every storyteller. We managed to get them all in in three trips to Epcot one year.
