The Internet Has Fallen in Love With Disney World's Tally the Elf

We all know and love Will Ferrell's famous Buddy the Elf. He's just so wholesome and kind and full of Christmas spirit. However, there is another elf that has taken the world by storm this holiday season.

If you aren't on TikTok or an avid Disney fan, you may not know about him. Please let me introduce you to Tally the Elf. This character performs in the "Once Upon a Christmas Time" parade at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Videos of him interacting with guests at Disney World have gone viral as folks from all over fall in love with his sassy attitude.

I think we picture Santa's elves as all being cheerful and happy, but just like humans, they come in all shapes and sizes AND attitudes. During the parade, if you happen to catch Tally's attention, he is going to come over, ask for your name, probably make fun of you in some way, and then check his handy clipboard to see if you're on the nice or the naughty list.

Using his gigantic pencil and thick Southern accent, he will most likely announce to the whole crowd that you are N A U G H T Y. Sometimes he makes an exception and puts you on the nice list, but don't tell Santa! Other elves interact with him too and it is just hilarious. See for yourself.
