Santa Claus Arrives at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the Holidays

This holiday season, Santa Claus is trading in his sleigh for a safari adventure at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Guests will have the opportunity to meet Jolly Old Saint Nick himself at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party, taking place on the patio at Restaurantosaurus from November 12th to December 24th.

Santa, the guest of honor, has checked his list twice and invited everyone to join the festive celebration as the students and faculty of the Dino Institute commemorate the season in prehistoric fashion. This unique meet-and-greet experience is perfect for guests of all ages, especially little ones eager to share their holiday wishes with Santa.
