Tis’ the Season to See Old Saint Nick at Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort

One of my fondest holiday traditions at Downtown Disney Marketplace is taking my girls to see Santa at his chalet. We have always avoided the chaos of the traditional malls and instead made a more enjoyable visit to Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort. I think it’s one of the best kept secrets because the lines are never very long and it is so much more relaxing. My daughters are getting older, one a teenager already. I hope I can coerce them to make our trek to see Santa – even if it’s just for mom. The years are fleeting, but I am hoping to restore the childlike faith of the season during our outing and ultimate shopping spree. Santa’s Chalet is open now through Dec. 24, from noon to 10 p.m. Santa Goofy will do meet and greets Dec. 25 to Jan. 1 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

  • Dear Santa, I would like a Colonel Crithlow, an Arnie and Claude, a Yakoose and a Babalonia. Oh, and an Emil Bleehall action figure.

  • Dear Santa,

    I have been good this year. My Christmas Wish is to reopen the Adventurers Club.

    Thank you and Kungaloosh! ºoº

  • Dear Santa, while you in Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World, please reopen the Adventurers Club. Kungaloosh!

    Although he (and Mrs. C) have always been part of the Christmas celebrations, didn’t it always seem like this was the one place where Santa was a little, well, overlooked, with Mickey Mouse and Cinderella just around the corner? Talk about competition! 😉
