Is a Santa Claus Meet & Greet Coming to a Closed Store in Hollywood Studios?
Happy Holidays from Hollywood Studios, everyone! The park is getting ready for the season with decorations out front, in Toy Story Land, over at Echo Lake, and more.
We’ve been keeping an eye on the updates being made for the holiday season in the park. And today, we noticed something very exciting — Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa in Hollywood Studios
We think we found where you can meet Santa Claus in Hollywood Studios this holiday season! Over in the Grand Avenue section of the park, we noticed today that one of the old stores has been transformed.
This is the “It’s A Wonderful Shop” holiday store located between Mama Melrose’s and PizzeRizzo. This store has been closed for several years, but it looks like things are about to open back up.
As you can see the windows now say “Meet Santa” in addition to the store name.
The theming was already halfway there with the snowman out front! But, these updates make us think that the space is going to open up soon.
Santa Claus was also added to the fire escape above the store, and he’s carrying presents!
Here’s another look:
The addition of “Meet Santa” to the window makes us think that this is where a Santa meet and greet is going to happen. It could be during regular hours or just during the Jollywood Nights after hours event (or maybe even both!).
We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more activity over here.
Stay tuned for more Disney World holiday news and updates!
