    When will Santa arrive to the Disney this year? We will be traveling to Orlando in mid-November and we are hoping for a visit during one of our park days!

    Season's greetings, Victoria. Welcome to planDisney. 

    Victoria, what an oh-so-jolly question! Nothing makes The Most Magical Place on Earth more magical than Santa Claus coming to town. As it snow happens, it looks like there is no time like the present to visit with old St. Nick at Walt Disney World. Currently, you can find Santa meeting with good little Mouseketeers in EPCOT at the CommuniCore Hall daily through December 24th. 

    If you have plans to visit Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, then you'll be happy to know that you can also meet with Santa at Storybook Circus! 

    I'm not sure when your holiday vacation will begin in November, but I'm excited to share that starting on November 13, Santa Claus will also be at Disney Springs near Disney's Pin Traders. To visit Santa at this location, you can enter a virtual queue using your My Disney Experience app. I'm adding the link HERE for all the festive details. Also, be sure to stop by Once Upon a Toy to send a magical letter directly to the North Pole!

    When it comes to visiting Walt Disney World during the holidays, the Christmas carol I enjoy singing is, "All I want for Christmas is...FOOD." Oh my goodness, the food this year looks AMAZING! The Disney Parks Blog has just published several new articles about this year's delightful offerings. I hope you'll have the chance to sample some of these festive treats while you're in town. Personally, I do not have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. It's all about the Candy Cane Cheesecake Brownie found at the BoardWalk Deli for me! YUM! 

    Victoria, I ho-ho-hope you'll have a perfect start to your holiday season. Here at planDisney, we LOVE Christmastime magic, so please stop back by if we can help unwrap a little pixie-dusted advice or help. I'm wishing you magical moments with Santa and that you'll have yourself a magical little Christmas! 

    Yuletide cheers, 
    Shonette

Meet the Panelist: Shonette, Ohio

Hi! I'm Shonette from Ohio, and I wear the ears of wife, mom, and proud Gigi to two preschool granddaughters.

I'm more excited than Ariel, with a treasure chest of thingamabobs, to be a planDisney panelist.
