Event Hours and Entry
Disney Jollywood Nights runs from 7:30pm to 12:30am — five full hours of Hollywood Studios all to yourself (well, with a limited-capacity crowd). Ticket holders can enter the park as early as 5:30pm on their event date, giving you a two-hour head start on the park before the main event begins. No theme park ticket or park reservation is required — just your Jollywood Nights ticket.
What’s Included with Your Ticket
Your Jollywood Nights ticket gets you a full lineup of exclusive entertainment and experiences. Here’s what’s included:
- 20+ unique character experiences — shorter lines in a limited-capacity setting
- Digital PhotoPass downloads — all your event photos and videos included
- Lower attraction wait times on select rides during the event
- Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! — the fireworks spectacular
- Glisten! — the skating show
- Disney Holidays in Hollywood — live stage entertainment
- The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
- Specialty food and drinks available for purchase (not included in ticket price)
The character experience count is one of the standout elements of Jollywood Nights. With 20+ meet-and-greet options at a limited-capacity after-hours event, wait times are dramatically shorter than a normal park day. If character photos are a priority for your family, this event is one of the best ways to accomplish that at Walt Disney World.
Tickets are available at DisneyWorld.com or by calling Disney Central at 407-934-7639. Book early — especially for December dates, which historically sell out weeks in advance.
