Where Is Santa At Disneyland Paris In 2026?
Santa has swapped Discoveryland for Main Street, U.S.A. for 2026. In previous seasons he met guests at Arcade Beta, the video game arcade in Discoveryland. His new spot is inside Disney Clothiers, between Main Street Motors and Boardwalk Candy Palace, where the shop's Victorian woodwork and mouldings have been worked into a Christmas setting and decorative stained-glass panels have been added to the windows.
Disney Enchanted Christmas runs from 7th November 2026 to 6th January 2027, and we covered the full line-up, including World of Frozen joining the festive celebrations for the first time, in our Disney Enchanted Christmas 2026 announcement. Disney has also listed Santa's new home on its official Disneyland Paris holidays page.

How To Meet Santa At Disneyland Paris Using The Virtual Queue
Meeting Santa doesn't cost anything on top of your park ticket, but you can't just turn up at Disney Clothiers and wait. Santa is one of the character meets that uses the virtual queue, a free booking system in the Disneyland Paris app that gives you a time to come back.
- Download the Disneyland Paris app and link your park tickets or hotel booking to your account before you travel.
- Open the app, find Santa Claus in the list of character meets and join the virtual queue.
- Head to Disney Clothiers on Main Street, U.S.A. when the app tells you it's your turn.
Santa is popular, so join as early in the day as you can if you want to meet him. We explained how the system works when Disneyland Paris first brought in virtual queues for character meets in April 2025.

What's Inside Santa's New Disney Clothiers Workshop?
The waiting area is set up as part of Santa's workshop, giving you a look behind the scenes at the Christmas preparations while you wait. The elves are busy making 19th-century-style toys based on Disney characters, along with period dresses inspired by Cinderella and Aurora.
Rolls of colourful wrapping paper and ribbon sit among parcels of every size, and the fabrics and tools dotted around suggest the gift-making is carrying on next door, out of sight. Framed keepsakes and photographs show Santa with Mrs Claus. Around Santa himself, vintage-style toys hint at Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Kevin from Up, Maid Marian, Cogsworth, Abu, Alice's cat Dinah, Simba, Mickey and Minnie, without making it obvious which is which.
