Santa at Disney Springs?

I'm hearing rumblings that Santa is at Disney Springs. Where is he located? We will be there 11/30 and I'm wondering if you can make a reservation, or do you have to wait in lineforever? Thanks!

Normally, there is also a Santa at MK and at EP's American Pavilion. If you're going into the parks, either of those two would be easier to see.

Don't know where he is at DS, but there are no reservations and the line would probably depend on what time you are there.

I would like to hear last year’s experiences, but 2 years ago he was there on 11/13 when we were in DS. We were given a pager, and when it went off, we stood in line about 15 minutes.

We loved Santa at Disney Springs!! When we were there the week after Thanksgiving in 2016, they were using an electronic pager like they do in some restaurants. If you wanted to see Santa, you would get one, they would give you an approximate wait time, and then you could walk around Disney Springs and come back when it lit up. He was a really nice, authentic looking Santa. I'm pretty sure the picture went right on our Photopass too.

I want to say our wait time was around 40 minutes but it didn’t seem too bad since we were able to walk around.

Is there a schedule online somewhere?

We will be at MK on 12/2. Are there fastpasses? Where is he?

Loving this idea. I need to find him and the dates. We will be there 11/30.

He may be listed on the Times Guide when you get there. At MK, he should be in the little white gazebo type thing on the fire station side of Town Square. If you're entering MK, go in on the left side tunnel and look to your left as you go around the circle that holds the flag pole.

ETA: Sorry, forgot to say that there are no FP for him.

• Experience the ultimate holiday encounter when you meet—and snap a photo with—the jolly man himself at this year’s Marketplace Christmas Tree Trail from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Once you arrive, be sure to check in at the podium and provide your mobile phone number to one of Santa’s helpers.

Above is from the Disney website. It says that he will be at Disney Springs November 8- December 24 2018.

We are going to do this. I can't get it to add to my plans though. The page errors out when I try to add it to my plans. As soon as we check in to our hotel, we will head to DS for a pager. Thanks for the help everyone )
