Disney Jollywood Nights is adding a new drinks-and-music stop in Animation Courtyard, along with first-time appearances by George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc.
Checkin’ It Twice Lounge will give partygoers a place to pause between shows and attractions, with specialty beverages, a live DJ and entertainment throughout the evening. Disney has not revealed the menu yet; those details are due with the event’s Foodie Guide.
George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc. will make their first Jollywood Nights appearances. Mike Wazowski returns to Pixar Plaza.
The returning “Glisten!” skating show will also add Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Genie for the first time. The show takes place in front of the Chinese Theater.
Disney Jollywood Nights runs on 15 select nights from November 7 through January 5 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The separately ticketed event begins at 7:30 p.m., with entry starting at 5:30 p.m.
Disney outlined the additions in its official Jollywood Nights 2026 preview.
