Disney Jollywood Nights is becoming one of those holiday events you simply can’t ignore anymore. What started as a brand-new seasonal party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has turned into a full-on holiday blockbuster, and 2025 is already proving just how popular it has become. The first December date has officially sold out, which is impressive considering how early guests are buying tickets this year.
If you’ve never been, Jollywood Nights feels like stepping onto the set of a vintage holiday variety show blended with the fun of a modern nighttime festival. Hollywood Studios glows with bright colors, retro-inspired décor, live entertainment, and the type of upbeat holiday energy you don’t get during regular park hours. Disney designed this party to feel different—and it absolutely does.
One of the biggest reasons guests rave about the event is the character lineup. Jollywood Nights is packed with rare meet-and-greets, and 2025 adds even more to the mix. Miguel from Coco is finally meeting guests in person, and he’s already shaping up to be one of the most popular new appearances.
Partysaurus Rex is also making his debut, greeting guests with his wild, neon personality. Add in Bing Bong, Chewbacca, Scrooge McDuck, Max Goof as Powerline, and Santa Stitch, and you have one of the most stacked holiday character lists anywhere at Disney World.
Entertainment is another reason this party sells out year after year. A new musical production brings characters and dancers together for a glamorous seasonal show. Fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas will love the event-exclusive sing-along hosted by Jack Skellington.
Hollywood Studios also fills with themed lounges, music spots, and dance areas that help shape the event’s signature personality. And at the end of the night, a special holiday fireworks and projection show transforms the park into a festive backdrop.
Jollywood Nights also includes returning favorites like the elegant holiday lounge inside The Hollywood Brown Derby, limited-time food and drink menus, exclusive merchandise, and shorter wait times for many attractions. Guests often squeeze in rides they normally skip because the party spreads crowds across entertainment, characters, and food instead of bottlenecking lines.
With the first December date gone and November already seeing multiple sellouts, anyone planning to attend should look at the calendar sooner than later. Jollywood Nights is only getting bigger, brighter, and more popular every year, and 2025 might be the most competitive season yet.
