Jazzy Holidays at Hollywood Brown Derby: Booking Opens Sept 17

If Jollywood Nights is on your list this year, put a note on your calendar for September 17. That is when reservations open for Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby, and space is limited.

Here is the pitch. Jollywood Nights is a busy, high-energy party. Jazzy Holidays is the quiet corner of it — a more adult-oriented space where you can sit down, order a cocktail, and still be inside the event. If you have ever hit hour three of a hard-ticket party and wanted somewhere to stop moving, this is that.

One thing to understand before you book: this costs money on top of money. Here is exactly how the pricing works, the full menu released so far, and the dates.

Quick Summary

• Reservations open September 17, 2026
• Jazzy Holidays runs select nights from November 7 through January 5, 2027
• It takes place at The Hollywood Brown Derby as part of Disney Jollywood Nights
• A valid Jollywood Nights ticket is required and is not included with your reservation
• Food and drinks are purchased separately and are not included with the event ticket
• Jollywood Nights tickets run $169 to $199 per person plus tax depending on the date

How the Costs Actually Stack

This trips people up every year, so let me be direct about it.

You need three things, and they are billed separately:

1. A Jollywood Nights event ticket — $169 to $199 per person plus tax, depending on the date
2. A Jazzy Holidays dining reservation — this reserves your spot, but does not include food
3. The food and drinks themselves — purchased at the restaurant

Your dining reservation is not a package. It is a table. Everything you eat and drink is an additional purchase, and the event ticket is separate from both.

Budget accordingly. A couple attending one night is looking at $338 to $398 in tickets before anyone orders a slider.

The Menu

An event-exclusive menu of light bites and craft cocktails is on offer. Worth flagging clearly: the standard Hollywood Brown Derby menu will not be available during the event. If you were planning on the Cobb salad, that is not on the table.

Food

• Jazzy Sliders — Bison and Pork, Onion Jam, and Gorgonzola Cheese on a Brioche Roll
• Chorizo Arancini — Shaved Parmesan and Salmorejo Tomato Sauce
• Pork Belly Bao — Korean Barbecue, Cucumber Slaw, and Soy Vinaigrette
• Tofu Bao — Seared Tofu, Cucumber Slaw, and Soy Vinaigrette (plant-based)
• Char-grilled Chicken Yakitori — Crispy Rice, Passion Fruit-Soy Marinated Chicken, Cilantro Aïoli, and Watermelon Radish

That is a genuinely interesting lineup for a park event. Bison and pork sliders with gorgonzola is not standard theme park food, and having a plant-based bao built in rather than bolted on is a good sign.

Cocktails

• Cranberry-Jalapeño Margarita — Flecha Azul Reposado Tequila, Cointreau Liqueur, Lime Juice, and House-made Cranberry-Jalapeño Simple Syrup

Disney has also shown an Old Fashioned served over a branded logo ice cube with an orange slice and cherry garnish, plus a holiday hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, red and green sprinkles, and two chocolate brownie cookies.

Full menu details are still to be announced, so expect more items between now and November.

Why the Hot Chocolate Matters

Small point, but a useful one. A non-alcoholic showpiece drink on the menu means this space works for a group that is not all drinking.

Jazzy Holidays is described as more adult-oriented, and that reads as a bar experience. The hot chocolate suggests it is closer to a lounge — somewhere a mixed group can sit without half the table nursing a soda.

Dates and How to Book

Jazzy Holidays runs select nights from November 7, 2026 through January 5, 2027, aligned with the Jollywood Nights calendar.

Reservations open September 17, 2026. You can book online through the Walt Disney World dining reservation system, or by calling Disney Central at 407-WDW-DINE.

A few booking notes:

Check the Jollywood Nights calendar first. Your dining reservation is worthless without a matching event ticket for that same night. Buy the ticket, then book the table.

Target the cheaper dates. Event tickets swing $30 per person between the low and high end. Early November and early January nights are typically the cheaper ones.

Book on September 17. Space is limited, and a lounge inside a hard-ticket event has a small capacity by definition. This is not one to leave for October.

Who This Is Actually For

Book it if you are already committed to Jollywood Nights, you want a break from the crowds mid-event, and you are comfortable spending on food beyond the ticket price.

Skip it if the Jollywood Nights ticket is already stretching your budget. The event includes plenty without this add-on, and $169 to $199 per person is a real amount of money before you buy anything else.

Definitely skip it if you were counting on the regular Brown Derby menu. That is not available during the event.

The Bottom Line

Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby opens reservations September 17, 2026, and runs select nights from November 7 through January 5, 2027.

Understand the three-part cost before you commit: event ticket, reservation, then food and drinks on top. The reservation holds your table and nothing else.

If the numbers work for you, book on the 17th. A limited-capacity lounge inside a sold-out party is exactly the kind of thing that disappears in the first week.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
