Going to WDW in December and haven't been at that time of year in several years. Are the storytelling Santas still in the countries in Epcot as part of the Holidays around the World?
 
I love Epcot during Christmas. We were able to visit WDW in December 2014 and I didn't scheduled enough time for all the Santas. We only saw a couple but they were wonderful. I love watching the youtube videos of them too. I would love to go this year with all the new food items they are offering and the Trail of Christmas Trees in Disney Springs. I hope you have a lovely trip!

Yes and they're so much fun to watch! We especially enjoy Norway , Italy & Germany. It does take awhile though as the times each country's storyteller performs are staggered.
 

This is one of my favorite reasons to go over the holidays. I really enjoy the storytellers. Norway and Italy are not to be missed!
 
Just to clarify, there are very few "Santa's" (since St. Nicholas and Papa Noel were removed). Some of the counties, (Japan, China and Morocco) don't celebrate Christmas but tell stories of their Holiday traditions.

The only Santa like tellers are Father Christmas in the UK and Pierre Noel in France. Of course Santa and Mrs. Claus are in the American Adventure pavilion.

Mexico and Italy focus more on the religious side of the holiday, while Canada, Norway and Germany focus more on traditions and celebrations of Christmas in their Country.

Thank you! This is so much help! My girls are going to LOVE this and I think I feel better that there are fewer Santas. Then it won't get as overwhelming and we can take our time. :santa:

Just to make sure, there are Storytellers in each Country. Your kids should like Norway. Just try to see what you can. It took us three years to see them all and then they changed.
