About this adventure
The Grinch makes appearances at Lake Eola Park for photos during Downtown for the Holidays, downtown Orlando's free December celebration. Like the Santa visits, meetings are first-come, first-served through a virtual queue: guests must be at the park to scan a QR code, availability is limited and the queue may close before 9 PM. Children who find Santa lines overwhelming sometimes prefer this quicker, sillier photo stop. On the same evenings the park has the holiday train, the Merry Market and the hourly Christmas tree light-and-music show, and on Sunday, December 13 the Grinch line runs as part of a sensory-friendly evening with low music and a quiet space.
