However, she is still worried and has asked me to post here to see if anyone has ever been to Disneyland at Christmas time and to make sure that Santa has not forgotten them. We would appreciate any words of encouragement for Miss Kaitlyn. Thank you all! Jennifer

When Christmas morning came, Santa had indeed visited us at the hotel. He had left packages for us on the night stand next to the bed. Now as a mommy, I wanted to make sure that Santa was able to find my daughter for Christmas last year when we came to Disneyland. So my daughter and I sat down and wrote to Santa that if he needed any help finding our family, he would find us at the hotel in Anaheim. But you know what? I forgot to mail the letter. However, on Christmas morning there were presents from Santa in the hotel room. I had forgotten that Santa would know where to come because of his special radar. I will never forget that now and neither will my daughter. I hope this helps you to know that Santa always knows where to find you, as he does for all the children in the world.

We have an Elf on the Shelf, and we usually head to my parent's house out of town for Christmas. My kids tell our Elf, that they will be at Grandma's house and to let Santa know so he can bring their presents there. If Kaitlyn has an Elf, she could let Santa know that way too. Have a great time!

He hangs out at Disneyland before Christmas (you can even visit him and his reindeer there), so he will know that you are there too. Since you can't bring a bunch of stuff on the plane, he will probably bring your presents to your house instead of your hotel, but he will make sure you get them.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Dear Kaitlyn, Santa has lots of helpers who keep him informed, because at this time of year, lots of kids aren't home at the holidays. They visit relatives far from home, so you just know that the Big Guy has his elves keeping track of who is where on Christmas, checking airline reservations and hotels and bus schedules and more. So you don't have to worry about that. But it's also good to remember that you'll be at the Happiest Pace on Earth on the Happiest Day on Earth. And you'll be there with the people who love you most of all. That's the best gift of all! Have a wonderful trip and a very Merry Christmas!
Originally Posted By EmmaJayne Dear Kaitlyn, I live all the way in Australia and I was so worried Santa wouldn't know where to find me far away from home in America one Christmas. But Santa knows everything. He is so clever he knew if he gave me all my presents over there I couldn't bring them home on the plane! So Santa made a special trip and came to see me the night before we left! But because I'd been really good that year he still left me some small presents in my hotel at Disneyland! Santa is very special and he'd never forget anyone at Christmas!!
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Yeah, Santa is awesome with knowing where you are.

I'm sure he'll manage for you too, because I'm betting you tried to be very good this year.
