See Inside the Jazz Club at Disney’s Jollywood Nights
Happy holidays from Hollywood Studios, everyone! We’re here tonight at the very first Jollywood Nights after hours event.

This is a separately ticketed event that happens once the park is closed to regular guests. It’s all about the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood combined with the holidays!

There is a lot of exclusive entertainment, merchandise, and food, but that’s not all. Some of the spaces in the park have been transformed for the party, and we’re taking you inside one of them right now!
Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby
The Hollywood Brown Derby has transformed into a jazz lounge for Jollywood Nights! We’re going inside to check out the holiday music, craft cocktails, and small plates.
Now, capacity is limited inside of the lounge, so you’re going to want to join the walk-up list by using your My Disney Experience app. You can check for availability using the app or you can scan the QR code in the restaurant’s lobby.

If there is availability, you can add your party to the walk-up list using the app. Once your table is ready, your app will notify you and tell you where to go.

However there was apparently some kind of glitch happening on opening night where the app was telling people there was a short wait than there actually was. Hopefully Disney can get this worked out!

It’s also important to note that it’s a full bar here, so you can order a cocktail that isn’t on the menu if you want!
Now, let’s go inside!
As you can see, the lobby of the restaurant was pretty busy. People were probably trying to work out the glitch issue we mentioned earlier!
There were a decent amount of people inside the dining area, but it wasn’t super full.
At the front of the room is a pianist here for the event!
He’s playing some jazzy tunes.
Overall, this is really just the restaurant with some music, small bites, and cocktails.
It’s a good place to chill out and have a drink and some food during the event, but it’s nothing incredibly unique.
Stay tuned for more Disney World holiday news and updates!
