Disney Jollywood Nights
Hollywood Studios · Walt Disney World
Disney Jollywood Nights is Hollywood Studios' after-hours holiday party — and the most adult-leaning of Disney World's hard-ticket events, built around old-Hollywood glamour: a jazz lounge at the Tip Top Club, an ice-skating show at the Chinese Theatre, Kermit and Miss Piggy hosting a stage show, and craft cocktails alongside the rides. In 2026 it runs 15 select nights from November 7 through January 5, 2027 — the first year the party runs past New Year's.

Who this party is for
Jollywood is deliberately pitched differently than the Magic Kingdom parties: later hours (until 12:30 AM), a cocktail-and-jazz thread through the whole event, and headliner thrill rides with short waits. It's the pick for couples and adult groups; families with young kids usually get more from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party's earlier hours and Main Street snow. At $169–$199 it also undercuts MVMCP's $189–$229 range on most dates — and the new January 3 and 5 dates are a rare chance at a Disney holiday party after the peak-price weeks.
Pick your party date with measured crowd data
Party nights change a park's whole rhythm — day guests leave early, and our measurements at Magic Kingdom's party days show daytime waits running about 30% lighter than non-party days. When Jollywood's November season starts, our Hollywood Studios crowd calendar will show each date's measured crowd level, updated daily from wait-time observations we collect every 1–5 minutes — useful both for picking a party night and for planning the daytime half of a party day.
We watch Jollywood's dining events too
Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby — the party-season dining event the Jollywood lineup is built around — is exactly the kind of reservation that vanishes early. Mickey Alerts monitors it directly, along with Hollywood Studios tables like Sci-Fi Dine-In and Oga's Cantina and holiday-week hotel rooms, and texts you the moment availability opens.
FAQ: Disney Jollywood Nights
When is Disney Jollywood Nights in 2026?
15 select nights from November 7, 2026 through January 5, 2027 — the first season to run past New Year's — from 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM, with party entry to Hollywood Studios starting at 5:30 PM.
How much are Jollywood Nights tickets?
$169–$199 for adults and $159–$189 for children depending on the date, with $10 Annual Passholder and DVC discounts on all nights. Tickets went on general sale July 16, 2026.
Is Jollywood Nights good for kids?
It's the most adult-oriented of Disney World's holiday parties — jazz lounge, cocktails, and hours running to 12:30 AM. Kids are welcome and there are character meets, but families with young children usually fit Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party better.
Jollywood Nights or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party?
MVMCP for classic Christmas (parade, snow, fireworks, earlier hours, more family-oriented); Jollywood for a later, cocktail-forward night with headliner thrill rides at short waits. Jollywood is also $20–$30 cheaper on most comparable dates, and its January dates dodge the peak holiday weeks entirely.
