Northpark Santa how to help please...

*littlered*

.... I was there today and asked the completely unhelpful assistant guy about how to get tickets for a night spot on Wednesday.  Do I go at 9 a.m. and sign up or how does it work?  I love that Santa - this is our first year though to do pictures so I'm clueless on how to do it the best way.  tia!

You can get a coupon anytime on Wednesday. Once your number has passed you can go at any time... so if you get a coupon Wednesday morning then you will be fine to go back anytime Wednesday night

There whole system is lame if you ask me. If you get tickets at 9am you can return anytime throughout the day up until 7pm. Except his scheduled break from 2-2:30pm. But when you return you are placed at the back of the line. When I showed up one night at 6:30 it took me about 20 minutes to make it through the line. But people who came in at 6:30 (without tickets) were also placed at the back of the line even though they didn't come in at 9am to get tickets.

OK, thanks so much. It does seem they could find a better way.  Do they even get to tell him what they want for Christmas anymore like when we were kids?

Just my .02, there are a ton of kickass Santas in the DFW area that you don't have to sell your firstborn to see.  We go to "The Big Guy" in Allen who is amazing (and personally I think he looks more jolly than the NP guy). He also has a reindeer there Last year we went at a "busy" time and waited 20 minutes. This year we went on a weekday and there was no line.

Where in Allen?

It's at Stacy/75 in the new shopping center on the south east corner.  You'll see Target, BRU, etc.

The Santa in Allen is the REAL Santa.  He's been in Coke commercials.  And he's wonderful.  Stacy Rd exit off of 75. 

 But to answer your question, yes, they get to tell him what they want.  My sister took my niece to Northpark where she told Santa she wanted "purple and a drum".....she's 2.
