Disney Jollywood Nights- NEW Christmas Party at Disney World Hollywood Studios

Walt Disney World has announced a BRAND NEW ticketed holiday party coming to Hollywood Studios for Christmas! Disney Jollywood Nights will take place after Hollywood Studios closing time on select nights in November and December.

This new event features the return of “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” which hasn't returned to Disney World since 2019! We continue to receive new information on this special-ticket event and have added the additional information shared by Disney below.

Keep reading for event dates, entertainment, and details on tickets. Read our review of Jollywood Nights and whether it's worth it.

Disney Jollywood Nights Dates

Disney Jollywood Nights takes place from 8:30PM to 12:30AM making this event similar to the After Hours events at Walt Disney World. Guests can enter Hollywood Studios at 6PM to get a headstart in the park before the event begins.

This is great news because this new ticketed party will NOT result in Hollywood Studios closing early, like we see for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. That makes it a win, win situation for everyone!

Here are the 2024 Jollywood Nights dates:

• November 9, 13, 16, 18, 23, 25 and 30
• December 2, 7, 11, 14, 18 and 21

These date-specific event tickets do not require an additional day theme park ticket or theme park reservation.

Disney Jollywood Prices

Event tickets are $159 to $179 per ticket and prices will vary depending on the night you select. Dates in December will likely fall on that higher spectrum of $179 per ticket as it gets closer to the busy holiday season at Walt Disney World.

Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, and Shades of Green can buy tickets starting July 2nd. Tickets may be purchased by all guests starting July 10th on the Walt Disney World website.

Disney Jollywood Nights Entertainment

We just got new information from Disney on what will be offered at the Jollywood nights event. Keep reading for the latest on the party.

This year, a new skating show called “Glisten!” will be featured on Hollywood Boulevard. Several times each night, international champion skaters will perform routines to a holiday soundtrack including original songs and Disney songs like “Be Our Guest” and “When You Wish Upon A Star.”

In a new Pixar-themed dance party, you can dance alongside Pixar characters including Joy, Frozone, Edna Mode, and more.

The main showstopper of entertainment at Disney Jollywood Nights is the return of “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” which hadn't been a part of Christmas at Walt Disney World since 2019 before Disney Jollywood Nights debuted. Here is the full list of holiday entertainment unique to Disney Jollywood Nights

“Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!”

This new stage show will also include a brand-new original song by Tiana!

Disney characters will also be joined by singers, dancers, and live jazz musicians. Originally, Disney shared this new show would be hosted by Kermit the Frog and Piggy, we love to see this extra love for the Muppets in Walt Disney World.

Mickey & Friends Holiday Greetings

The new promo image shared above gives us a look at brand new character costumes for the Jollywood Nights party at Hollywood Studios. The new outfits are inspired by the vintage atmosphere of the party which aims to celebrate the glitz and glam of Hollywood. Pastels were a common trend in ornaments from the ‘30s, ‘40s or ‘50s which inspired the mint green and soft reds.

You can meet the characters in their new outfits in the Animation Courtyard during the event.
