Walt Disney World is truly magical at Christmas. From elaborate decorations at Disney Resorts to festive decorations at each theme park, there is something extra special during the Christmas season.

We were so excited to announce that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is back! Not only that, but Disney just released details on many returning events, characters, treats, and parades. Take a look at all of the just released exciting offerings here.

Guests can enjoy a special meal with the big guy himself this Christmas season. Check out full details HERE.

Virtual Queue Needed

You can meet Santa at Walt Disney World without even needing a park ticket. Over at Disney Springs, you can meet Santa Claus at Once Upon a Toy from November 11th through December 24, 2022. A virtual queue is in place for this meet and greet and is subject to availability. A traditional stand-by line is not available again this year.

Guests can join the Virtual Queue to meet Santa on the My Disney Experience app at 9:00 am, 12:00 pm, 3:00 pm, and at 6:00 pm. It is important to note that you must be at Disney Springs to join the Virtual Queue.

There is a maximum of 10 guests per party to meet Santa. This is a great way to add a bit of holiday magic during a non-park day.

Guests can join the Virtual Queue to meet Santa on the My Disney Experience app at 9:00 am, 12:00 pm, 3:00 pm, and at 6:00 pm
