Duration
A booking of 11-15 kids will be about 10-15 minutes long depending on the ages, number of kids and/or how the visit is going. Sometimes longer, sometimes less, but plenty of time for wishes to be heard.
Booking Tip
Those that are attending (ex. Mom, Dad, teenager that is too cool, Grandpa, Grandma, cousin Eddie), but not sitting to visit with Santa do not need to be included in the Number of "Kids" count. Just those "kids" (ages 0-99) interacting with Santa before photos.
