Annual Passholders, the party has a sparkle just for you. Disney has shared details on the 2026 Jollywood Nights Passholder drinks: the Golden Gimlet cocktail and the alcohol-free Golden Cheer. Both are mixed with edible glitter, and both are sold only to Annual Passholders at a special snack cart at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney Jollywood Nights opens Saturday, November 7, so the first toast is just around the corner. Disney calls the pair “specialty sips just for Passholders,” and they fit the old Hollywood glamour that defines the party.
Here’s what’s in each drink, where to find the Passholder cart, and exactly what you need to bring to order one.
Quick Summary
- Annual Passholders can order two exclusive drinks at Disney Jollywood Nights 2026
- The Golden Gimlet mixes Hendrick’s Gin, cranberry juice, Minute Maid Limeade, edible glitter, and a Sprite topper
- The Golden Cheer is the alcohol-free version with the same ingredients minus the gin
- Both are sold at the Passholder snack cart across from Beverly Sunset Boutique, on event nights only
- You’ll need your Annual Pass in the My Disney Experience app and a government-issued photo ID
- Passholders still need a party ticket, but save $10 per ticket on every event night
- Disney hasn’t released drink prices yet
The Golden Gimlet
The Golden Gimlet is the cocktail of the pair. It’s made with:
- Hendrick’s Gin
- Cranberry juice
- Minute Maid Limeade
- Edible glitter
- Sprite topper
Disney’s first look shows the drinks served in stemless flutes, with the glitter swirling through a bright cranberry-pink pour. It’s a festive, photo-ready drink that looks right at home under the lights of Sunset Boulevard.
You must be 21 or older to buy or drink the Golden Gimlet.
The Golden Cheer
The Golden Cheer drops the gin but keeps everything else:
- Cranberry juice
- Minute Maid Limeade
- Edible glitter
- Sprite topper
That makes it a great option for guests under 21 and anyone skipping alcohol. Everyone in your group can raise a sparkling glass together, which is a thoughtful touch for families and friends who don’t all drink.
Where to Find the Jollywood Nights Passholder Drinks
The Passholder snack cart sits across from Beverly Sunset Boutique at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Both drinks are available only on event nights.
Here’s the party timing to keep in mind:
- Party hours: 7:30pm to 12:30am
- Early entry: Ticket holders can enter Hollywood Studios as early as 5:30pm
- Dates: Select nights from November 7 through January 5
Since the cart is near the Sunset Boulevard end of the park, it’s easy to grab a drink on your way to or from the Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster area.
What You Need at the Passholder Cart
Disney says Passholders need their pass and a photo ID at the cart, no matter which drink they order. Have these ready:
- A valid Annual Pass ID in the “Tickets and Passes” section of the My Disney Experience app
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- Proof of age 21 or older for the Golden Gimlet
If you haven’t linked your Annual Pass to your MyDisney account, do it before the party. Cast Members ask to see the pass in the app at the time of purchase, and troubleshooting at the cart is the last thing you want to do on a party night.
Disney also notes that offerings, dates, and locations can change or close without notice.
Passholders Still Need a Party Ticket
These drinks are a Passholder perk, but they aren’t a free pass into the party. Annual Passholders still need a separate Jollywood Nights ticket. The good news: Passholders save $10 per ticket on every event night.
Don’t wait too long to buy. Disney says the event is selling out faster than last year, so pick your night and lock in tickets soon.
