The holiday season brings its own sense of wonder, and one of the most cherished traditions of all is meeting Santa. Whether you are visiting for the day or staying steps away at Renaissance Orlando Resort at Disney Springs, you will find festive opportunities to connect with the joy of the season throughout your stay.
From classic Santa moments in Disney Springs to a special evening with Kris Kringle right here at the resort, this is a time to create memories that linger long after the lights fade.
Santa at Disney Springs
Guests can visit Santa in his workshop near Disney’s Pin Traders, one of the most beloved holiday photo moments in Disney Springs. Through December 24, the open air promenade is filled with twinkling lights, cheerful décor, and a warm sense of celebration that makes every visit feel magical.
A stop to see Santa pairs perfectly with holiday shopping, a seasonal treat, or a leisurely stroll through the lively atmosphere of Disney Springs.
Meet Kris Kringle
The celebration continues at Renaissance. On Thursday, December 11th, American Kitchen Bar and Grill will welcome Kris Kringle for a festive evening designed to capture the spirit of the season.
Cocktails with Kris Kringle invites guests and locals to enjoy seasonal cocktails, explore local pop up shops, decorate cookies, listen to live entertainment, and capture memorable moments with Kris Kringle himself. It is a night crafted with intention and creativity, offering a joyful way to celebrate while supporting Give Kids the World Village. A portion of proceeds will help bring comfort and happiness to children and families during the holidays.
The event is free to attend. Please RSVP to let us know you are coming!
