Santa Claus on the Move at Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays 2025: Now Meeting at Communicore Hall. Santa jas packed his bags and sleigh and is on the move across World Celebration in Epcot. Moving from the Odyssey Pavilion, where he has been meeting guests for the past few years, he is now going to be at Communicore Hall.
This brings up some questions, like, is the Spaceship Earth Gingerbread moving to Odyssey Pavilion, or will it be located in Communicore Hall along with Santa? This will be the second major move for Santa Claus at Walt Disney World. Besides moving to Communicore Hall at Epcot, Santa will be moving from the now closed “It’s a Wonderful Shop” in the shuttered Muppets Courtyard to an unknown location at this time.
Meet Santa Claus
From Santa Claus himself to characters like Santa Goofy and the various international Holiday Storytellers, such as Père Noël (Father Christmas) in Epcot’s France Pavilion and the Barn Santa in Norway, families will have plenty of chances to see, meet, and greet Santa.
