A dressed-up Christmas night with the Muppets, skating, swing music and a late ride or two. Here’s how to make time for Jollywood’s shows, characters, food and holiday atmosphere without spending the whole evening racing between queues.

The November 7, 14, 16, and 28 and December 5 Disney Jollywood Nights parties are sold out. November 21 is next available.
Disney’s full 2026 Jollywood Nights menu adds a TWIX pie, Yuletide Ham Popover and Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae.
Jodie Sweetin and John Stamos sample festive dishes headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Jollywood Nights.
Checkin’ It Twice Lounge adds drinks, music and entertainment, while George Sanderson and Needleman join the party for the first time.
The event-only collection includes a Gertie Loungefly bag, pullover and ornament, character ears and a Duffy mug.
General sales opened with all 40 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights dates available.
Collect your wristband, check showtimes and take entrance photos. If a nearby regular-hours ride has a short posted wait, it can fit here.
Allow about an hour for a quick-service meal and restrooms. If you have a Jazzy Holidays reservation later, have a smaller snack now and remove the equivalent meal block from the evening.
Choose Tower of Terror or Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster only if the posted wait fits before your selected Disney Holidays in Hollywood performance. Otherwise, start with the show and keep the ride for later.
Enjoy the Tip Top Club, then walk toward the Chinese Theater. This gives the evening some breathing room rather than filling every gap with another queue.
Use the actual performance schedule to select Glisten! and the sing-along. Allow a snack or character stop between them only when the timing works.
Settle into your viewing spot before the show. Do not make this the same block as a ride in Galaxy’s Edge.
Choose Slinky Dog Dash, Rise of the Resistance or a missed character according to the posted queue and time left. A final ride is an option, not a promise that everything will be operating until close.
All nine rides announced for Jollywood Nights. Availability can change during the event.
Averages cover complete hourly readings from 8 p.m. to midnight on event nights.
No matching rides.

Kermit and Miss Piggy host the holiday stage show at Theater of the Stars. Make this a fixed point in your evening, then fit nearby Sunset Boulevard rides around it. We would choose a performance before joining either coaster or Tower of Terror.

Skaters perform in front of the Chinese Theater, with Donald, Daisy and Genie joining the 2026 production. Keep your viewing window free of ride queues. The nearby Runaway Railway is convenient, but a nearby entrance does not guarantee you will finish in time for the show.

Jack Skellington’s sing-along takes place at Hyperion Theater. Pair it with Echo Lake food and photos instead of returning across the park later. If this is your must-see show, choose its performance first and make the rest of the route follow that choice.

The Chinese Theater becomes the backdrop for projections, lasers and fireworks. Choose a view of the theater rather than relying only on a clear patch of sky. Avoid starting a long queue just before the scheduled performance.

The new Checkin’ It Twice Lounge brings a DJ to Animation Courtyard. The Tip Top Club offers live holiday music by Tower of Terror, while Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby provides a seated dining option. Choose one longer lounge stop rather than expecting to experience every venue in full.

George Sanderson and Needleman join the Monsters, Inc. lineup this year. Other appearances include Duffy, Santa Stitch and Max as Powerline. Pick your priority character before arrival; character queues are separate from ride waits and can change the pace of your whole evening.
Food and drinks cost extra. Prices shown are before tax and may change.
Group snack stops with nearby shows and rides. Fairfax Fare and Hollywood Scoops fit a Sunset Boulevard stop; Backlot Express and Gertie's cookie fit Echo Lake. Salted Caramel Mini Churros are at Ice Cold Hydraulics on Grand Avenue.
Book The Hollywood Brown Derby deliberately and leave time to enjoy the meal and music. Replace another lounge visit or ride with this stop instead of adding a sit-down meal to an already full schedule.
Party merchandise requires an event wristband. Stock and purchase limits may change.

The event collection includes a Gertie Loungefly bag and ornament. Find the Jollywood merchandise shop near Frozen Fractal Gifts during the party. A valid event wristband is required to buy the event collection.

A pullover, reversible-look headband with a detachable bow, and Duffy-as-Santa mug round out the collection. Shop before your photos if the headband is part of your outfit. Protect the mug before boarding a ride.

Pick two must-see performances and one ride priority before you arrive. Add more only when your actual pace allows it; a full lounge meal needs its own generous block.
The season crosses into January 2027. Make sure the selected evening and hotel arrangements match, particularly if you are visiting after New Year’s Day.
No. Jollywood is a separately ticketed evening. Your event ticket permits entry from 5:30 p.m. on its valid date.
Menu items are available for purchase. Budget separately for food, cocktails, merchandise and bookable dining.
We would not plan on it. Choose your favorite performances first, fit one or two rides around them, and leave room for walking, food and queues.
