Thoughts on which santa

[Tucker24]

we will be at HS two days and Epcot one. I'm assuming Epcot santa is better with mrs clause but if the lines are crazy I would see the other one. We are going next week. Any thoughts on which santa?

You pretty much know the main points
I was at Epcot yesterday and people lined up for the 1:30 set of Santa and Mrs Claus around 12:45pm. Maybe 10 families in line so not horrible, the line does grow with each set
The good thing about the DHS Santa is that you don't have to wait in line, with the pager system you can come back and only wait 10 to 15 minutes. The DHS Santa is in a beautiful room, I'm sure it would make for great pictures
Remember there's also a Santa at Disney Springs, same pager system

We have done Santas at various spots for years .....

The big plus to Epcot is Mrs. Claus. We have found Santa to be "laid back" just taking pics and ready to move on. Mrs. Claus has the personality and saves the shoot for us. DS really wants to see her so we have gotten in the line, but it's slow moving.

We have never seen one at DHS but from the sounds of it I would be all over it. A buzzer to come back, him in a more private decorated setting.

DS Santa, that is a busy mall ordeal and while he has been a good interaction, hate the line (guess it was pre-buzzer).

Our best experience has been in MK. Santa has always been AWESOME, interactive and special.

Of course the "helpers" can change at any point, and our last Dec trip with DS was 2014.

Dec 2015 with my other DS we met Santa Goofy at DHS and he was A HOOT! Loved him.

We did Santa at Epcot on Monday. Got in line for the 1:30 set at 1:00, I was 3rd in line. DGD sat and watched the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa story tellers while I waited in line, DD ate her lunch. By 1:30 the entire queue had filled. No idea how long it took them all to get through.

We met Santa and Mrs. Clause at Epcot Monday 11/28, we were in the back of the line where the ropes end. I watched the Kwanzaa performance at 3:45pm while DH stood with my youngest. We were in and out by 4:00pm, seemed to go quick!

We did the Santa picture at DHS and had the best time I walked by the Santa and Mrs. Claus set up at Epcot and preferred DHS set up

One thing we've made sure to do is to make sure to get photos of the kids with the different World Showcase "Santas" such as Pere Noel and Father Christmas. You don't get to have your child tell him what they want but the backdrops are lovely and usually the lines aren't long after the storyteller presentations.

So there is no Santa at MK this year? I checked the park website and it seems to only list DHS and DS...not even Epcot...so I'm not sure how much faith to put in that.
