Has Santa appeared yet?

I would love to get my dd's picture taken while visiting the first week of December. Any suggestions on where the best set up is for Santa pictures?

Yep, as of this weekend the Holidays are in full swing.

Santa is found at Santa's Reindeer Round-up behind Big Thunder Mountain and in beach attire in the Sunshine Plaza area of DCA.

Does that mean that Santa is no longer in his sleigh by the giant christmas tree at the start of Main Street? We've had our kids' pictures taken with him there for the past 7 years...I'll be bummed if that is no longer an option!!

I had also heard that Santa may be found at the GCH. Anyone seen him there?

Santa is no longer on main street, he is only at the ranch (inside DL). My guess is that move has a lot to do with running 4 parades per day. 2 Dreams and 2 Christmas.
Santa is also at DCA dressed up in beach wear. I have not heard of him being at GCH though.

Thanks for the info. DisneyChrista! I know my little one will be thrilled to see Santa and his reindeer. I may just take her to the mall in town for the picture.

I just saw Santa and his reindeers at the Reindeer Roundup and I thought the area was decorated nicely. There's a sleigh out front where you can sit on and take pictures. Right next to Santa's "cottage" has lots of things to do for kids. Singers on stage, pictures to color, and a bunch of characters. Was surprised to see Big Thunder Ranch open for the kids, a great place for families.
