Disney Jollywood Nights returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with select event nights running through Tuesday, January 5, 2027.
That means Walt Disney World’s separately ticketed holiday party at Hollywood Studios is stretching into January for the first time, with tickets going on sale in July.
Event dates
Disney says the separately ticketed event will run on select nights from November 7 through January 5. The 2026 dates are November 7, 14, 16, 21, 23, and 28; December 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, and 23; and January 3 and 5.

Ticket prices vary by date, according to Disney. Sales begin July 9 for guests staying at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, and Shades of Green.
General ticket sales begin July 16. Disney also says Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club Member discounts will be available for all event nights.
Shows and characters
The 2026 lineup includes Disney Holidays in Hollywood at Theater of the Stars, hosted by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy with appearances from Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Belle, and Tiana. What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along returns to Hyperion Theater with Jack Skellington.
Glisten also returns in front of the Chinese Theater, with skaters performing on a synthetic rink. Disney also lists Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club, Pixar Disco, and Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby.

Disney’s announced ride list includes Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Star Tours, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Toy Story Mania.
The planning move is simple: pick a date first, then wait for Disney’s food, merchandise, and final entertainment details before building the whole night around one offering. Disney says available attractions are subject to change, and event admission does not guarantee access to every attraction or experience.
