Santa’s Christmas Carnival Arrives at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

The holiday season has officially arrived at Magic Kingdom, and with it comes an exciting new experience! The Chip and Co team had the privilege of attending the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on Friday, November 8th, and one of the biggest highlights was the all-new Santa’s Christmas Carnival. This magical addition has transformed Storybook Circus into a festive holiday destination filled with Christmas cheer, friendly faces from the North Pole, and, of course, Santa Claus himself!

Nestled in the relaxation area at the back of Storybook Circus, Santa’s Christmas Carnival offers a cozy, immersive setting for guests to meet and greet with Santa. The area has been decked out in beautiful Christmas decorations and features a comfy, old-world-style couch where Santa welcomes guests, listens to Christmas wishes, and spreads holiday joy. While the experience is incredibly popular and does see fairly long wait times, it’s well worth it for the festive atmosphere and personal interaction with the big guy.


In addition to the meet and greet, this location also has a mailbox where kids can drop off letters to Santa. Each guest who visits Santa receives a small holiday treat—a pack of mini M&M’s! There’s also a coloring station stocked with markers, where little ones can decorate their own paper ornaments to take home as a memory of this magical visit.
