One thought on “Where to Meet Santa Claus at Walt Disney World Resort

  1. There is also a Santa over at the Swan and Dolphin resort who is great! My baby was fascinated with him and we waited in line for less than 10 minutes with fun holiday music playing. We went here after we found out the Disney Springs Santa had over a 5 hour wait.
