It's a bit ridiculous that he was asked to change his appearance or leave the park, couldn't thay have just asked him to stop saying he was the real santa and to stop taking pictures with their guests.

I have to say that I find it creepy and rather disturbing when people go to the extreme to grow a beard and look like santa. Taking it even further and saying 'yes, I am the real santa" is even more disturbing. I personally wouldn't have let my kids anywhere near that guy.
