Disney’s Hollywood Studios is gearing up to help you get started making those holiday plans. We are happy to share the 2025 Jollywood Nights dates and share a sneak preview of some of the entertainment, bites, merchandise, and experiences coming to this year’s event
Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event that takes place on select nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios from November 8th to December 22nd. November dates are set for select Saturdays and Mondays, while December dates fall on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
During Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios will come alive in holiday magic with performances, festive decor, specialty food and drinks, plus much more!
In 2025, Jollywood Nights is allowing entrance to the park at 5:30 p.m., even though the event does not kick off until 7:30 p.m. That means you will have up to five hours to party until 12:30 a.m.
Jollywood Nights is a limited-capacity event, so plan to purchase your tickets well in advance of your travel dates. Prices vary per date.
Guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green will be able to purchase tickets starting on July 16. All other guests can purchase Jollywood Night tickets beginning on July 22. Discounts are available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.
