Disney World is bringing back Jollywood Nights, the after-hours holiday party that started last year in Hollywood Studios!

You can dance the night away with live bands, see festive stage shows, and cap the night off with the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! nighttime spectacular. In addition, enjoy lower wait times for your favorite attractions, meet beloved characters dressed in their holiday finest, enjoy unique entertainment, and feast on new holiday treats.

This event will take place on select nights from November 9 to December 21, 2024.

Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can purchase tickets starting today, July 2, 2024, for event dates during their stay. If you’re not staying at a Disney Resort, you can buy tickets starting July 10, 2024.

This is a separate party from the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party that I talked about yesterday, but tickets to both events are on sale at the same time.

2024 Event Dates

Celebrate in Pixar Plaza at a dance party with the incomparable Edna Mode.

After all that excitement, join a Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club, a swingin’ celebration in the courtyard of The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Purchase your cocktails and unwind in style while a live band swoons and croons holiday tunes.

Cap off the night with Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, a nighttime spectacular of fireworks, lasers, lights, music, and projections of holiday moments from favorite Disney films against the iconic Chinese Theater.

Pose for pics all night since PhotoPass digital photos and videos from the event are included with your ticket! Be on the lookout for magic shots and specialty image captures.

Commemorate your exciting evening with Disney Jollywood Nights themed apparel, accessories, collectibles, and more.

For an extra indulgence, reserve Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby. On event evenings, guests can sip craft cocktails and enjoy an event-exclusive menu of light bites while a pianist plays smooth holiday tunes at The Hollywood Brown Derby. This restaurant fills up very quickly so reserve this ASAP if you’re interested.

As always, feel free to contact me if you want me to book these events for your next Disney trip.

As crazy as it seems, we’re halfway to Christmas already! This year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park in Disney World will take place on select nights from November 8, 2024 to December 20, 2024. It goes from 7pm – midnight ET, though you can get into the park after 4pm with the party ticket. No park reservations are necessary for the party.

Throughout the evening, you can:

• Delight in the amazingly festive Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks show!
• Gather to watch Disney Characters give a yuletide nod to the season during Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.
• Head over to Cinderella Castle for a yuletide stage show, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration!

For an extra indulgence, enjoy a sweet treats buffet and priority viewing for Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks with a Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace or with a Plaza Garden viewing. Tickets for this additional add-on will go on sale in September.

Tickets range from $169 – $219. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket on select nights before Dec 5th.

Tickets are limited and will go on sale July 2, 2024 if you’re staying at a select Disney resort during your party day and July 10, 2024 if you’re not.

This is a very popular event and certain days will sell out fast. If this is a must-do and you’re limited to certain days, you may want to buy your tickets as soon as you can.

If you’re not going to the party and you only have one Magic Kingdom day, you may want to go to a different park on a party day since Magic Kingdom will close early to non-party guests. If you do have multiple Magic Kingdom days, then you may actually want to go to Magic Kingdom on a party day since crowds may be lower from other non-party-goers avoiding a short day there.

We’ve been to this party in the past and it was really fun. Please contact me if you want to chat more about this or to help book your party tickets.
