All About the Beats and the Eats
Welcome to Disney Jollywood Nights
During Jollywood Nights, you will feel the holiday vibes as soon as you enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with a DJ posted up on the corner of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard.
Then, throughout the evening, you can dance the night away with several themed experiences throughout the Park.
Holiday Fiesta en la Calle
The party continues as you make your way down Commissary Lane with festive Latin music. Make sure to check out the sips and snacks inspired by Latin traditions.
Twlight Soiree at the Tip Top Club
Looking for some good live music and some great cocktails? Head over to the Tower of Terror for a swingin’ soiree, complete with a live band!
Jazz Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby
For an even more sophisticated experience, check out Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby. Get on the guest list for this experience by joining a mobile walk-up list and enjoy some smooth jazz served up alongside light bites and fancy cocktails.
All of the above events are offered periodically throughout the evening.
