The Disney Jollywood Nights holiday party is returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the 2025 season. This separately ticketed, limited-capacity event brings a glamorous, vintage Hollywood style to the holiday season. The 2025 event is enhancing the experience with two new musical stage shows and a new perk: an earlier entry time for all guests.
Dates, Times, and Tickets
The party runs on select nights from November 8 through December 22. It officially takes place from 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM. A major new benefit this year is the earlier entry time. Guests can now enter Hollywood Studios as early as 5:30 PM on their ticketed date, which gives them two hours before the party starts. This extra time is perfect for riding attractions before the specialty entertainment begins. Ticket prices for the 13-night run range from $159 to $199 per person, depending on the date you choose.
If you are an Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member, you can save $10 per ticket for all event nights. The first night, November 8, is already sold out, so it’s highly recommended you purchase your tickets early, as this is a limited-capacity event and other dates will sell quickly.
Entertainment Enhancements
The event is bolstering its entertainment lineup this year with significant additions. The two brand-new stage shows are “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” and “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” These complement the returning favorites, including the high-energy Glisten! skating spectacular on Hollywood Boulevard and the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! fireworks and projection show at the Chinese Theater.
A major highlight is the character experience. This year introduces a new character to the party: Chewbacca celebrating Life Day in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The Latin-inspired Holiday Fiesta en la Calle street party is moving to the Coaster Courtyard and will prominently feature Miguel from Coco. Other rare characters joining the fun include Partysaurus Rex and Bing Bong from Inside Out.
The extended entry time gives you a better chance to enjoy rides with typically low wait times. Prioritize popular attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Slinky Dog Dash before the event officially kicks off at 7:30 PM.
