@@@@@jollywood

Our Review of Jollywood Nights 2025

The tinsel is twinkling and the festive fun has officially begun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! With Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party already underway in Magic Kingdom, the focus has now shifted to Tinseltown for the inaugural night of Disney Jollywood Nights on November 7th. We were on the scene for the first event of the season, and let us tell you—it was a spectacular, character-filled affair!

The streets were immediately decked out in dazzling holiday decor, Gertie the Dinosaur sported her Santa hat with pride, and twinkling lights provided a magical, glamorous ambiance.

We explored everything this special ticketed event has to offer: thrilling entertainment, specialty food and drink, shorter waits for select attractions, and an undeniable abundance of exclusive character meet-and-greets!

This year, the stars of the show truly felt like the characters, making this event a genuine “Character Palooza”!

The Star-Studded Character Lineup

If collecting rare character photos is high on your wish list, Jollywood Nights is the place to be. We felt the sheer number and variety of unique characters were the true focus of the night. It was fantastic to see such a diverse cast, many in their holiday best or seldom-seen attire.

Here is a glimpse of the friends we were able to meet:

@@@@@jollywood
  • Santa Duffy Bear
@@@@@jollywood
  • Panchito (from The Three Caballeros)
  • Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong (from Inside Out)

  • The Muppets (Kermit and Miss Piggy, as part of their show)

The energy around these exclusive character locations was electric, truly setting the joyous tone for the party.

Top-Notch Entertainment

Beyond the character rush, Jollywood Nights delivers a packed itinerary of unique, high-quality entertainment offerings that lend a distinct “Hollywood” flair to the evening.

Details Revealed for Glisten! An All-New Skating Spectacular at Jollywood Nights 2
  • Glisten — A Skating Spectacular: We were mesmerized by the international champion skaters performing a dazzling holiday routine.
  • Holidays in Hollywood: Hosted by the inimitable Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, this variety show is pure, festive Muppet mayhem.
  • Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! fireworks spectacular: A dazzling end to the night with lasers, fireworks, and special effects.
  • The Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club: The courtyard of The Hollywood Tower Hotel was transformed into a sophisticated lounge with a great ambiance—and more characters to meet!
  • The party also features an Echo Lake Holiday Celebration, a high-energy Pixar Disco, and the lively Holiday Fiesta en la Calle.

Exclusive Treats & Keepsakes

No Disney party is complete without themed food and merchandise, and Jollywood Nights delivered on both!

We always look forward to sampling the unique, exclusive culinary items, and there are plenty of new themed food and drinks for purchase to satisfy every craving.

@@@@@jollywood

For those looking for a festive keepsake, the event-exclusive merchandise is available only to Jollywood Nights attendees.

@@@@@jolly

The official mascot, Ollie the Gingerbread Man, is featured prominently on a variety of items, including a Spirit Jersey, an ear headband, a Loungefly Bag, a mug, and an ornament. We think this merchandise makes a fantastic memento to remember this glitzy evening!

@@@@@jollywood

Is Jollywood Nights Worth the Price?

The biggest question remains: Is an event costing up to $199 worth the ticket price?

Jollywood Nights has seen significant improvements, especially over last year, and is now a major contender when considering Disney World’s holiday events. The atmosphere is unique, the entertainment is top-notch, and if you’re looking for a holiday celebration that feels a little more Hollywood and a lot more focused on rare characters, Jollywood Nights may be your ticket.

@@@@@jolly

However, the answer truly depends on what you prioritize. With so much to do, you probably won’t be able to get everything done. If unique, rare character encounters are a must-do for your family, combined with high-quality, exclusive stage shows, then the value is certainly there. For a glitzy, glamorous, and unforgettable holiday night, Disney Jollywood Nights is definitely a contender!

Through partnerships with local organizations, Disney Cruise Line will connect students with its entertainment professionals and provide resources to help them explore talents in theater, music, and the arts. 

“At Disney Cruise Line, we believe in the power of imagination and the importance of nurturing the next generation of storytellers,” said Beth Thibodaux, director, external affairs, Disney Signature Experiences. “Discover Your Destiny gives students the chance to dream big, learn from Disney experts, and see firsthand how creativity can shape their future.”

Disney Destiny Conveyance

For more than 25 years, Disney Cruise Line has invested in programs that inspire young people to dream boldly. Discover Your Destiny builds on that legacy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to empowering youth and creating pathways for future careers in entertainment.

The Disney Destiny is the newest ship to join Disney Cruise Line’s growing fleet, marking a significant milestone in the cruise line’s multi-year expansion plans to bring the magic of Disney cruises to new audiences around the world. This expansion will grow the fleet to 13 ships by 2031, and also includes the Disney Adventure, which will homeport in Singapore beginning in March 2026; a fourth ship in the Wish class expected in 2027; the introduction of a brand-new class of ships in 2029; and an agreement with Disney and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) to introduce Disney cruise vacations to Japan in 2029.  

The sister ship to the Disney Wish (2022) and the Disney Treasure (2024), the Disney Destiny draws on the legacies of larger-than-life heroes and villains from Disney, Pixar and Marvel to offer new and guest-favorite experiences steeped in legendary Disney lore. Highlights include an original Broadway-style adaptation of “Hercules;” entertaining dining experiences inspired by “The Lion King” and Marvel Super Heroes; immersive meet-and-play experiences with beloved characters; a Mickey Mouse-themed water attraction; one-of-a-kind lounges inspired by Cruella de Vil and Doctor Strange; imaginative kids’ clubs; and signature fireworks at sea.

This isn’t Waititi’s first foray into Disney holiday storytelling.

Fifth Guest Death in Recent Weeks Reported at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort

A somber update has come out of Walt Disney World today, as a person was confirmed deceased at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, the fifth reported death across Disney resorts in just the past several weeks.

Guest Dies at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort

According to public safety reports shared by @wdwactivecrime, emergency responders were dispatched to Saratoga Springs around 3:18 p.m. on Saturday, November 8, for a “Person Down” call. The call was later updated to a “Dead Person.” As of this evening, neither Disney nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has released an official statement.

The tragic news follows a string of recent fatalities at Walt Disney World properties. On November 2, a woman in her 40s was found unresponsive at Disney’s Pop Century Resort and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, with investigators ruling out foul play. Just days before, a man in his 60s was found deceased at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, which authorities classified as a suicide. Another man, also in his 60s, passed away at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground from a pre-existing medical condition.

The first in this recent cluster occurred late last month when 31-year-old Disney superfan Summer Equitz died at the Contemporary Resort in what officials described as an “apparent suicide.”
