Disney Confirms Santa Meet-and-Greet Returns to DinoLand USA Nov. 14–Dec. 24

The Restaurantosaurus patio will host a Dino Institute–themed holiday party setting for the character experience.

Overview

  • Walt Disney World confirmed Santa will greet guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom on the Restaurantosaurus patio in DinoLand USA.
  • The meet-and-greet is scheduled to run from November 14 through December 24, 2025.
  • The space is staged as the Dino Institute Holiday Party with festive music, lights, stockings, vintage touches, and dinosaur décor.
  • BlogMickey reports this is expected to be Santa’s final season in DinoLand USA before the area “goes extinct,” which is characterization rather than an official Disney announcement.
  • The coverage includes planning resources and photo galleries from last year’s setup to help visitors preview the experience.
