Disney has announced a new holiday party at Walt Disney World for 2023, and it’s full of Hollywood glamour and glitz. Jollywood Nights is holiday party in Disney’s Hollywood Studios with new holiday shows, a DJ, holiday snacks, and characters. Tickets go on sale at the end of June and beginning of July. Find the details below.
New Holiday Party at Disney World – Jollywood Nights
Disney Jollywood Nights is a separate ticketed event from 8:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. on 10 different nights during the holiday season. Jollywood Nights will happen between Nov. 11, 2023 to Dec. 20, 2023.
Hollywood Studios has been my favorite park during the holidays, because of its retro decor. Trust me, I still miss those Osborne lights, but I do appreciate some of that Hollywood glam.
The Disney Parks Blog announced, “Get ready to dress in your holiday glam best or festive flair, dance the night away to merry mashups, indulge in divine treats and bubbling spirits, and snap selfies with iconic characters during this new festive event. For an extra dose of cheer, the party wraps with the return of the nighttime spectacular, “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!”

Is Jollywood Nights Worth It?
Jollywood Nights is new this year and if you’re looking for shorter lines on rides at Hollywood Studios and holiday extras, then it can be worth it. But if you’re on a budget and only want rides, then I’d skip the party and buy Genie+ and Lightning Lane for your Hollywood Studios park day.
I’m intrigued by the jazz lounge and soiree at the The Terror of Terror, but $180 per person is expensive for 4 hours of entertainment. It all depends on what you value out of your Disney vacation.
