Santa's Magical Kingdom

SANTA'S FAVORITE KNOCK KNOCK JOKES Knock, knock! Who’s there? Santa. Santa who? Santa Christmas card to you, did you get it Knock, knock! Who's there? Holly. Holly who? Holly-days are here again! Knock, knock! Who’s there? Anna. Anna who? Anna partridge in a pear tree. Knock, knock! Who's there? Donut. Donut who? DONUT WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKEND TO VISIT SANTA'S MAGICAL KINGDOM! For the best experience visit MON-THURS when there is a lot less traffic through the displ...ay and fewer guests shopping in Kringle's General Store. IMPORTANT: Please visit our website www.santasmagicalkingdom.com to see traffic alerts for the best and worst nights & times to visit. We expect this weekend to be very busy, especially Saturday night. Guests should expect lines and waits inside and outside of the Kingdom. It's possible that some cars may be turned away from entering if vehicles start to back up on the interstate ramp or intersection. This must be done for the safety of travelers on the highway.

Top FIVE REASONS to visit Santa's Magical Kingdom when it rains: #5 Mrs. Kringle's fresh baked chocolate chip cookies & hot chocolate are amazing anytime rain or shine! #4 Fewer visitors to Kringle's General Store & usually no lines to get your hand personalized ornament. ... #3 Santa's also here rain or shine to wave to the kiddos as you drive through. (Don't forget your letters to drop off to Santa.) #2 Historically, traffic is about 50% less on rainy nights so there's less chance of a wait in line to get into the Kingdom. #1 REASON TO VISIT ON A RAINY NIGHT: The lights are even more spectacular looking in a light rain due to the refraction of light in the atmosphere! PS: We expect Saturday, Dec 12 to be one of the busiest nights of the season. Expect long lines and double stacking of traffic in the lower section of the show as well as possibly being turned away from waiting in line to enter if traffic begins to back up in the intersection to prevent a highway traffic safety issue.

SANTA CAMS ARE BACK! Every parent knows the kiddos behave better if they think Santa is watching! And with that in mind, we just received several new styles of Santa Cam ornaments so stop by Kringle's General Store during your next visit to Santa's Magical Kingdom and pick up a Santa Cam Ornament. HINT: Avoid the crowds and visit the Kingdom Mon-Thurs!

We want everyone to get a chance to visit the Kingdom so we'll be sending out reminders for the next three weeks recommending that guests avoid Saturday nights if at all possible. If you must come on a Saturday, try to shoot for after 9 pm. So far Mon-Thurs nights have not been overly busy so those are great nights to visit. Fridays are our 2nd busiest nights and Sunday is our 3rd busiest. Sunday nights are usually an early crowd so if you can come after 8 pm on Sunday, that's recommended too. Thanks for your patience everyone! Please visit the homepage of our website for additional traffic alerts and recommendations. Happy Holidays! We look forward to helping you and your family celebrate the holidays! www.santasmagicalkingdom.com

Hello Friends We want to let you know that we expect weekends from now through Christmas to be very busy-ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHTS! We’re not sure what to expect this year due to covid, but if traffic begins to back up through the intersection on I-44, cars will be turned away for safety reasons. Please do not try to come early on Saturday to avoid the wait as almost everyone tries to do that and it doesn’t work. Historically, things slow down after 9 pm on every night. I...f any cars are already in line at closing time, they will be allowed to visit the show. In addition, on a few of the busiest nights, you may experience a wait not only outside of the park, but inside as well in one section of the park where we double stack traffic to prevent cars from backing up through the intersection. It’s possible that you may not be able to visit the store if occupancy exceeds the covid restrictions. This year Santa will be visible outside only while driving through the show and kids can drop off letters to Santa in his mailbox at the North Pole! Our goal is to provide a wonderful holiday event for families to enjoy together. We appreciate your understanding that this year will be different than in the past. To recap: for the best experience, we recommend visiting during the week if you can (except mon- wed before Christmas) and AVOID SATURDAY NIGHTS. More information is available at www.santasmagicalkingdom.com Happy Holidays - we look forward to seeing you here!
