Santa Claus is visiting Titanic The Experience on International Drive to meet with children and gather their letters to Santa. As Titanic was the Royal Mail Ship (R.M.S.), letters to Santa will easily find their way to the North Pole. Santa and R.M.S. Titanic captain E. J. Smith will be available for photos with children and families on the Grand Staircase.
Guests who bring their personal cameras will be allowed to take a photo with Santa on the Grand Staircase; there will also be an opportunity to purchase photos. Please note that photos will not be allowed in any other gallery.
If unable to meet Santa in person, kids can drop their letters into designated RMS Titanic Letter Boxes located at The Exhibition and at all central Florida Jersey Mike locations now through Christmas Eve. Children expecting a jovial reply from Santa should be sure to include an email address with their letter.
