Santa

[Sdolores]

Does anyone have any reports on how long the wait has been to see Santa at any of the WDW parks where it is offered?

At HS, I heard they give out pagers. Not sure about the other parks.

We waited in line on Monday 11/28 at Epcot in the American Pavilion maybe 20-25 minutes. I was able to catch the Kwanzaa storyteller while DH waited in line with my little one.

Thanks, I am going 12/7-11. I'll report back. Anyone else?

We were at Disney springs a few days before thanksgiving. They give pagers. We almost didnt take one because the wait was listed as two hours. But I took one and it buzzed in less than an hour. We walked back and we were sitting with santa in less than five minutes. Worked out great!

DS and HS both give pagers, makes it nice to not be stuck in line.
On Monday last week I got in line to see Mr and Mrs Claus at Epcot at 1:00, for the 1:30 set. I was 3rd person in line. I waited in line while DD ate her lunch and DGD watched the storytellers

After your pager goes off how long do you have to go back?

At DS I think it said within ten minutes but I'm not sure how strict they are with that.

You won't be turned away if you aren't back within the alotted timeframe. They want to encourage shopping - especially at DS.

I'm looking forward to visiting some of the Santa meet & greets with minimal wait due to the pager system. It's a much better way to queue especially with small children.
