Can you believe we’re almost to the end of October?! Yep, before you know it there will be Christmas Trees up and gingerbread will replace pumpkin in almost all of the kitchens around Disney World.
We’ve been finding out more and more details about the holiday season in the parks, including for Jollywood Nights, the new after hours event happening at Hollywood Studios. And, we just learned about the two new shows coming to the event!
Jollywood Nights Entertainment
There are two entirely new shows coming to Jollywood Nights! We’ve known about the theming for these shows, but Disney has finally announced their official names and is sharing more details on what we can expect.
Disney Holidays in Hollywood
Disney Holidays in Hollywood will be the variety show starring The Muppets! This will take place over at Theater of the Stars.
The variety show will follow the tradition of “Tinseltown holiday specials” according to Disney, but with “a twist of today’s Hollywood magic.”
You can expect to see guest stars like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Tiana, Belle, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse. There will also be a bunch of surprises, like a new original song by Princess Tiana!
There will be singers, dancers, and even live jazz musicians during this festive performance. Disney says that “jolly vignettes” will help to share the message that the holidays mean something special to everyone!
What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
Also coming to this year’s event is What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along! The show will take place at The Hyperion Theater.
You get to join Jack Skellington on an “ethereal exploration” of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. This sounds like it’s going to be frightfully fun!
The audience will be able to sing along to songs from the movie while taking in some peculiar magic. You also might have to take on Oogie Boogie on your journey!
We’re so excited to see these shows come to life. Stay tuned for more Disney World holiday news and updates!
