In 2023, the Christmas season became twice as magical at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida with the arrival of a brand-new nighttime event; Disney Jollywood Nights. And this year the glamour continues as the event returns for a third time, and tickets are on sale from July 22nd, 2025!
This festive party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a celebration filled with merriment, music and spirited good times, running on select nights from November 8th through to December 22nd. But what should you expect when you buy a ticket to Disney Jollywood Nights? We’re here to answer all your questions.
Is Disney Jollywood Nights a separately-ticketed event?
Yes, Disney Jollywood Nights is not included in your regular park admission and requires a separate ticket. Included in the event ticket will be entry to Disney’s Hollywood Studios from 5:30pm to 12:30am (with the event officially starting at 7:30pm), exclusive entertainment and Character meets, access to some of the park’s most popular rides, and digital downloads of all your photos taken by PhotoPass photographers around the park.
What dates will Disney Jollywood Nights be taking place in 2025?
Disney Jollywood Nights 2025 will run on the following dates:
- November. 8, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29
- December. 1, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 22
Is Disney Jollywood Nights replacing Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?
Don’t worry! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party still takes place at Magic Kingdom Park (and tickets are also on sale from July 22nd), in addition to Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! While these nighttime events both take place during the Christmas season, they will be taking place on different dates, making it easy for you to experience both in one holiday!
