Do We Know Where Santa Claus & Santa Duffy Will Meet Guests During the Holidays at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Walt Disney Presents will be the new home of Santa Duffy during Jollywood Nights, and we think we can say that Santa Claus will be meeting and greeting children and their families in the same spot during the Holiday Season at Hollywood Studios in 2025.
Why do we say Santa Claus will also be in Walt Disney Presents?
Disney Parks released an updated version of the characters and where you can meet them during Jollywood Nights 2025, which takes place on select nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In the new updated list, Santa Duffy is listed in Walt Disney Presents.
Recently, we wrote about The Little Mermaid live-action, Ariel, being moved from the Walt Disney Presents meet and greet location. She will be moving to Echo Lake for a short period. “Meet Ariel at Walt Disney Presents will be temporarily unavailable beginning October 28. Ariel will be greeting guests at Echo Lake, near 50’s Prime Time Cafe“
This means that since Disney is moving Ariel, replacing her with Santa Duffy during Jollywood Nights, the area will be decorated as in past years. In the past few years of Jollywood Nights and the Holidays at Hollywood Studios, Santa Duffy and Santa Claus would be at the same spot, although not at the same time, inside It’s a Wonderful Shoppe at the Muppets Courtyard.
So our educated analysis is that Santa Claus will be meeting guests during the day at Walt Disney Presents. Santa will meet families daily until starting at 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM, except on Jollywood Night party night, when he finishes at 7:00 PM. Santa will use Virtual Queue.
