Hey Howdy HAA Everyone!

Welcome back to Happily Adventures After. It’s London and I’m so glad that you are here!

Today we’re taking a festive stroll through Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — Disney’s holiday event filled with lights, music, and seasonal cheer.

Now, I love Christmas — the songs, the snacks, the sparkle — so I couldn’t wait to see Hollywood Studios’ take on it. But honestly? It landed somewhere in the middle for me.

🎟️ What Is Jollywood Nights?

A special after-hours (7:30pm- 12:30am, with the ability to enter HS at 5:30pm that evening) Hollywood Studios Christmas celebration that transforms the park into a glitzy, holiday wonderland with:

• Festive projections and decorations
• Seasonal shows and character appearances
• Holiday food, drinks, and merch

✨ Atmosphere

The park shines beautifully at night. Hollywood Boulevard twinkles, the Chinese Theatre glows, and the music sets the mood. There’s a nostalgic, old-Hollywood charm that warms your heart — but the magic didn’t fully stick. Some shows felt repetitive, and that signature Disney “wow” was a bit toned down.

🎭 Entertainment & Extras

The character moments were fun and the snacks were cute, but overall, it felt safe compared to other Disney holiday events. I missed those extra surprises that usually make Disney’s Christmas offerings unforgettable.

💵 Ticket Info

Tickets for 2025 range from $159–$199 USD, plus tax, with discounts for Annual Passholders and DVC Members. If trends continue, expect a small price bump for 2026.

✅ Pros & ❌ Cons

✅ Pros: Beautiful lights, festive character interactions, nostalgic touches, and fun merch.
❌ Cons: Some shows fall flat, lacks the immersive magic of other holiday events, and the price-to-value depends on your expectations.

🎯 Final Take

3 out of 5 stars!

Jollywood Nights is charming and cozy, perfect for first-timers or those who simply love strolling through a decorated park. For me — a lifelong Christmas lover — it was enjoyable but not extraordinary. A solid 3.5 out of 5.

So, while it gave us some sparkle but left a bit to be desired, let’s dive into my Top 10 Highlights of Jollywood Nights— the moments, sights, and treats that made this holiday celebration shine!
