Updated: We Met Santa Goofy at Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays 2025. Walt Disney World has announced today all the entertainment happening during Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays 2025. In the announcement, it was mentioned that Santa Claus will be moving to Communicore Hall, joining the Gingerbread Spaceship Earth, which left the Odyssey Pavilion open. Now we know that Santa Goofy will be meeting guests during the holiday time at the retheme space.
Updated 11/28/2025 – The Odyssey is decked with festive delights that make every visit feel like a celebration. Step into Glittering Grove, presented by Balsam Hill, where a breathtaking display of faux trees creates a winter wonderland of shimmering lights and elegant ornaments, perfect for your holiday photos. Balsam Hill trees now line the queue leading to Santa Goofy, making for a great photo op for the whole family.
Nearby, you can spot Santa Goofy ready to spread laughter and cheer in his holiday best. Santa Goofy is using the same backdrop that Santa Claus had been using for the past few years during Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays. Once through the queue, Santa Goofy will come up and meet you and the family, and bring you over to the photo spot. At the photo spot, you have the choice to have Goofy stand with you, if solo, or if you have a whole family, Santa Goofy will stand directly behind the prop seat.
Disney Photo Pass is available, and Cast Members are on hand if you would like a photo done with your phone.
