Meet Santa at Dinosaur Party & New Holiday Shows at Disney for 2024

Get ready for some holiday fun at Disney Parks! This year, Santa Claus is taking a break from his usual watery adventures to meet guests at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From November 12 through December 24, you can find him spreading cheer on the patio at Restaurantosaurus, surrounded by prehistoric decor. But that's not all! You can also spot Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in their festive outfits at Adventurers Outpost. And don’t forget to check out the Merry Menagerie merchandise and the holiday Foodie Guide, along with seasonal Tree of Life Awakenings after dark. Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, things are getting even merrier. Starting November 12, you'll see three new entertainment acts: the juggling and comical Juggling Elves, the festive Holiday Spirit Band, and the lively Seasons Jukebox with drummers and dancers. If that wasn't enough, the Hollywood Studios will also bring back old favorites like "For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration," Santa Claus greetings at It’s A Wonderful Shop, and the magical "Sunset Seasons Greetings" projections on The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Don’t miss the snowfall on Sunset Boulevard! And for more holiday excitement, catch the second year of Disney Jollywood Nights, featuring a new ice skating show called "Glisten!"
