Meet Santa at the Enchanted Glade Gazebo During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

This meet-and-greet will debut at a new location in 2024, Santa’s Christmas Carnival at Storybook Circus. This article has been moved to our character archives and is left for historical reference.

Merry Christmas! Did you know you could meet Santa at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party? This year, he meets at the Enchanted Glade Gazebo throughout the party. Below, we’ll walk through Santa’s meet-and-greet and look at a few photos.

This location offers a charming queue, and seeing Santa in his elegant attire is always fun. If you have extra time during the party, it’s an excellent place to have a photo taken. These photos were taken at last year’s party. We’ll provide an update to confirm this location after the first party.

Santa Claus at the Enchanted Glade Gazebo

Santa’s meet-and-greet is at the Enchanted Glade Gazebo in Liberty Square at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. From my experience, one of the best times to meet Santa Claus is immediately after the fireworks. We like to stand on the side of the castle nearest Liberty Square to watch the fireworks. Then, immediately after the performance, we cut behind Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe to get in line for Santa’s meet-and-greet.

Since the gazebo sits behind the Christmas Shoppe, it’s a little off the beaten path. So when what to my wondering eyes did appear–but a well-lit path beaming with holiday cheer. On a serious note, the entire queue for Santa’s meet was delightful. It was decked out with twinkling lights and felt kind of dreamy.

We joined the line for Santa’s meet-and-greet at 10:17 p.m. and met him at 10:30 p.m. A PhotoPass photographer was present at this location.

Santa sits under the gazebo in a beautifully decorated setting. The SC initials on the flooring were a nice touch.

Of course, Santa will ask if you’ve been bad or good. Then, you might discuss a few items on your Christmas wish list.

He won’t make any promises. But he’ll see what he can do.

If you don’t have the Memory Maker add-on, you can ask the cast member attending the meet if they’ll take a few photos with your device. From my experience, they’ll be more than happy to help. Getting to meet Santa Claus during the party is a wonderful experience. We wouldn’t miss it!
