Debuting in 2023 at Hollywood Studios, Disney Jollywood Nights quickly became a guest favorite with its immersive old Hollywood glamour extravaganza.
In contrast to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, Jollywood Nights caters slightly more to adults with its unique holiday theme, streetmosphere, live music, and a wide selection of festive alcoholic beverages for purchase.
Dates and Times:
In 2024, Jollywood Nights ran on select nights from November 9 through December 21, 2024:
November – 9, 13, 16, 18, 23, 25, 30
December – 2, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21
The red carpet festivities officially kick off at 7:30 PM and continue until 12:30 AM. However, party guests can enter Hollywood Studios as early as 6:00 PM on event nights. Please note that a day ticket to Hollywood Studios does not grant you admission to this separately ticketed experience.
