Santa is making his list and checking it twice, and he’s added some Santa breakfast stops in Orlando this holiday season. Join the jolly ol’ elf himself for a breakfast with Santa (or dinner...or tea time!) in Orlando. At these Santa breakfast events, guests will enjoy delicious foods, and kids can share their wish lists with Santa and snap some photos with the big guy as well.

Read on for a collection of local Santa breakfast events around Central Florida. We've also included holiday character dining options at the theme parks, including seasonal meals with the Grinch, Minnie Mouse, and Elmo!

For more quality Christmas time, get tickets for a holiday show by using our The Nutcracker Ballet and Other Holiday Shows in Orlando, and be sure to check out our list of Must-Do Orlando Christmas and Holiday Events this season. We're always adding to our Orlando Christmas and Holiday Guide so check back often!
