Santa Claus Meet and Greet Returns to DinoLand USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

November 6, 2025

Santa Claus Returns to DinoLand USA for One Last Roar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

It looks like Santa Claus isn’t ready to go extinct just yet! The jolly old elf himself is returning to DinoLand U.S.A. this holiday season for one final round of prehistoric cheer at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Guests can meet Santa at Restaurantosaurus from November 14 through December 24, 2025—marking the land’s truly last hurrah before it officially transforms into the Tropical Americas area.

Fans of DinoLand’s quirky holiday overlay will once again be treated to the “Dino Institute Holiday Party,” complete with dino-sized decorations and the perfect mix of whimsy and nostalgia. Last year’s debut of Santa’s meet and greet at Restaurantosaurus was a surprise hit, featuring the big guy in red surrounded by fossils, string lights, and even the occasional T-Rex ornament.

This year, Santa will again greet guests on the Restaurantosaurus patio, offering a delightfully odd (and Instagram-worthy) backdrop filled with dinosaur bones and garlands. It’s an experience that blends yuletide joy with a touch of Disney’s extinct humor—because nothing says “holiday spirit” like a triceratops in tinsel.

With DinoLand U.S.A. set to go extinct soon, this will truly be your last chance to see Santa in this setting before the area evolves into something brand new. So grab your cocoa, dust off your best Santa hat, and make sure to snap one last photo in front of those dino-sized decorations before they become a piece of Disney history.

Disney+ Drops Official Trailer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2

Disney+ has made a major announcement with the debut of the official trailer for season two of the Disney+ Original series, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Teasing a heroic new adventure into uncharted and dangerous waters, the new season is based on The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Rick Riordan’s beloved best-selling series.

The trailer promises thrilling new monsters, action-packed mayhem, and higher stakes than ever as the young demigods embark on a perilous quest to save Camp Half-Blood and their friend Grover.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” will premiere on December 10 with a two-episode debut on Disney+ and Hulu, followed by new episodes rolling out every Wednesday.

The Quest for the Golden Fleece

Following a breach in Camp Half-Blood’s protective border, Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) embarks on an epic odyssey into the titular Sea of Monsters. His mission is twofold: find his best friend Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and secure the one artifact that can save the camp—the legendary Golden Fleece.

Percy is joined by Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn), and his newfound Cyclops half-brother Tyson (Charlie Bushnell). The success of their quest is essential to stopping Luke (Daniel Diemer), the Titan Kronos, and their impending plan to bring down Camp Half-Blood and, ultimately, Olympus.

The returning core cast is joined by a star-studded roster of recurring and guest stars, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jason Mantzoukas, Glynn Turman, Timothy Simons, Virginia Kull, Courtney B. Vance, Andra Day, Adam Copeland, Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho, Kristen Schaal, Tamara Smart, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Toby Stephens.

Production and Companion Content

The series was created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg. Season 2 is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Riordan and a host of other producers.

Fans seeking more behind-the-scenes content can look forward to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, an unscripted companion series that will offer exclusive access starting December 10. Podcast episodes will be available to watch on Disney+, Hulu, and YouTube, or to listen to on various podcast platforms, with a new episode dropping after each series episode premieres.

Meanwhile, season three of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is currently in production in Vancouver. Fans can catch up on the first season, now streaming on Disney+ and coming to Hulu starting Monday, November 10.
