Solution

The location with the longest length of daylight during the Winter solstice would be George’s tree house in the jungles of Africa, along Earth’s equator.

Here's why:

The Winter solstice, which usually occurs on December 21st or 22nd, is the day with the shortest period of daylight for locations in the Northern Hemisphere. The further north you go from the equator, the shorter the period of daylight.

So, if we look at the latitudes given for each location:

  • Santa’s Village at the North Pole is at the extreme North, so it would have almost no daylight during the Winter solstice.
  • Big Foot’s Tree house in the Pacific Northwest (latitude of 45 N) and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland, CA (latitude 34 N) are both in the Northern Hemisphere, so they would have shorter periods of daylight.
  • Yeti’s Cave in the Himalayas (latitude 28 N) is also in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's closer to the equator than the previous two locations, so it would have a longer period of daylight, but still not the longest.
  • George’s tree house in the jungles of Africa is along Earth’s equator. The equator generally has the most consistent lengths of day and night throughout the year. During the Winter solstice, it would have a longer period of daylight than any of the other locations listed.
