Don your holiday best and celebrate the season in style at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Jollywood Nights, taking place on select nights from November 9th through December 21st. This dazzling event is where Hollywood glamour meets holiday cheer, featuring exclusive entertainment, treats, characters, and much more. This limited-capacity holiday party runs from 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM, with guests able to enter the park starting at 6 PM without needing a daytime park ticket. We highly recommend using this time to enjoy some rides and take in the festive holiday décor, including Ollie, the festive gingerbread man.
Guests attending this event will receive complimentary Disney PhotoPass for the night, meaning you can pose for unlimited pictures and videos with all digital downloads included in the price of your ticket. Every guest will also receive a complimentary sweet treat upon leaving the event.
Shows
Two fan favorites from last year's inaugural season of Jollywood Nights are returning. Disney Holidays in Hollywood, hosted by Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, takes place at the Theater of the Stars. This holiday extravaganza features guest appearances by Tiana, Belle, and everyone's favorite mouse, Mickey. They are joined by a talented cast of jazz musicians, singers, and dancers. Guests tend to line up early for this show, but no need to worry—there are four performances each night at 8:15 PM, 9:15 PM, 11:15 PM, and 12:15 AM. Another crowd favorite is What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along at the Hyperion Theater (where the Frozen Sing-Along takes place during the day). This immersive experience encourages guests to sing along to the songs of the Pumpkin King while following the story of two friends. The sing-along has five performances each night at 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM, 9:30 PM, 11:30 PM, and 12:30 AM—so good, you might want to see it more than once!
The newest addition to the Jollywood Nights lineup is Glisten!, which will take place on Hollywood Boulevard and feature international skating champions performing routines to a holiday soundtrack alongside Disney favorites like "Be Our Guest" and "When You Wish Upon a Star." Shows will occur each night at 8:15 PM, 9:15 PM, 10:30 PM, 11:15 PM, and 12:15 AM.
No party is complete without a nighttime spectacular. Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! will light up the night sky with fireworks, lasers, and projections on the Chinese Theater. This year, the show takes place earlier in the evening, allowing guests to enjoy it without waiting until the end of the party. The show begins at 10 PM each night.
Music and Dancing
It wouldn’t be a holiday party without some dancing, and there’s no shortage of music during Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios.
Holiday Fiesta en la Calle is a lively street fair in Animation Courtyard that lasts the entire length of the party. Guests can enjoy Latin holiday tunes and special appearances by some of the Three Caballeros.
Fans of the ’90s and 2000s will love the throwback bash by Echo Lake, where you can meet characters from that era. Phineas and Ferb, Powerline Max, Baloo, and King Louie are known to make appearances throughout the night.
The Twilight Soirée at the Tippy Top Club will be full of glitz and glam. Guests can enjoy cocktails in the Courtyard of the Hollywood Tower Hotel while enjoying live band performances at 7:30 PM, 8:10 PM, 8:50 PM, 9:30 PM, 10:30 PM, 11:10 PM, and 11:50 PM.
At Pixar Plaza, you’ll find more than just meet-and-greets! Pixar Place will host a rockin’ dance party with Joy, Frozone, Edna Mode, and other popular Pixar friends. This is a great spot for kids to burn off some energy on the dance floor.
For those who want a more relaxed, table-service experience, Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby offers an exclusive event menu with cocktails and small bites, accompanied by a pianist performing throughout the evening. This is a limited-capacity experience, so reservations are highly encouraged.
Character Meet and Greets
Jollywood Nights is the perfect opportunity to meet characters you don’t often see on a regular park day. New additions this year include Baloo, King Louie, José Carioca, Panchito, Bo Peep, Lotso, The Mandalorian, and Joy. Returning favorites include Phineas and Ferb, Powerline Max, Rescue Rangers Chip ‘n’ Dale, Santa Stitch, Santa Duffy, Edna Mode, Frozone, and of course, Mickey and his pals in their holiday best.
