Santa Goofy Is Now Greeting Guests Inside the Odyssey Pavilion for EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Santa Goofy has officially touched down at EPCOT, sleigh, gifts, giggles, and all. As part of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, guests can now meet the goofiest Santa in the galaxy inside the Odyssey pavilion, and this festive setup is one of the cutest character spots of the season.

The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a storybook-style winter scene, complete with snowy trees, swirls of icy-blue flooring, and Goofy’s sleigh overflowing with presents. It feels like you’ve wandered into a whimsical holiday pop-up straight from a classic Disney Christmas special. The sleigh itself is beautifully designed with velvet seating, curling silver details, and stacks of oversized packages — the perfect backdrop for a holiday photo.
And then… in struts Santa Goofy. Decked out in his red suit, fluffy trim, and signature Santa hat, he brings the holiday cheer with that big Goofy energy only he can pull off. Whether he’s posing proudly beside his sleigh, waving guests over with a jolly smile, or goofing around to make little ones laugh, this meet-and-greet is pure holiday joy.

The Odyssey pavilion has been quietly leveling up its seasonal offerings in recent years, and Santa Goofy’s arrival adds even more holiday magic to the festival. It’s easy to swing by between Holiday Kitchens, grab a warm treat, and step into this charming photo spot before you continue around World Showcase.
If meeting characters is part of your Festival of the Holidays traditions, don’t skip this one. It’s festive, fun, indoors (a huge win on chilly or rainy days), and a perfect place to snag a family holiday photo that feels uniquely EPCOT.
