It’s the third year of Disney’s newest holiday event — Disney Jollywood Nights!
Jollywood Nights
Hosted by Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jollywood Nights is a ticketed holiday event like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, featuring exclusive foods and drinks, rare characters, special entertainment, and more. Let’s see what year two has in store!
We will be updating this post throughout the night, so please continue to check back in with us!

Jollywood Nights takes place on select nights between November 8 and December 22, 2025, from 7:30PM to 12:30AM. This year, ticketholders can enter the park as early as 5:30PM (a 30-minute improvement from last year!), with no park reservations necessary.

At the time of writing, only tonight’s Jollywood Nights event is sold out — but we still recommend getting your tickets sooner rather than later.
Crowds
We arrived at Hollywood Studios around 5:30PM and the crowds were HUGE.
