We’re having a holiday-joy-fueled night in Magic Kingdom!
That’s right, it’s night one of Disney Very Merriest After Hours and we’re covering ALL of the festivities LIVE. There’s a LOT of entertainment to see and treats to eat, but we’re starting the night with a certain familiar face that we are SO happy to see.
Santa Claus has arrived in Magic Kingdom! When we first got to the event tonight, we spotted Santa’s chair getting set for him in a beautiful gazebo.
And then Father Christmas himself came strolling out to see us!

He’s also ready to hear those Christmas wishes, so make sure you come prepared to let Santa know what you’re hoping for this Christmas.
It CERTAINLY feels like the holiday season when you’re talking to Santa, so we were very happy to see him.
SANTAAAA! 🎅 #verymerriest pic.twitter.com/TzZDmpsRDT
