Disney Jollywood Nights is Hollywood Studios' after-hours holiday party, and in 2026 it's selling out faster than last year: two of its 15 nights were gone by Oct 31, three weeks ahead of 2025's pace. Here's what's left and what each night costs, how the early park closure affects a regular day ticket, the full show schedule and a plan for families with little kids. Every source is linked.

- Want November? Nov 16 (a Monday) is both the next night and the cheapest at $169. WDWMAGIC notes Saturdays have sold out first this year, so Nov 21 and Nov 28 are the ones to grab now if you need a weekend.
- Only have a day ticket? On all 15 nights Hollywood Studios closes at 7 PM for everyone else. Pick a different day for your full Hollywood Studios evening, or plan to be out by 7. The countdown bar on ParkScoop now flags these early closures on your trip dates once you set them.
- DVC Members: on the five Monday nights (Nov 16 and 23, Dec 7, 14 and 21), there's a free holiday keepsake and hot cocoa from 8 PM at Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After on Sunset Boulevard. You still need an event ticket (WDWMAGIC ↗).
Show times
Disney's posted entertainment schedule (WDWMAGIC ↗). Show times can change, so check the My Disney Experience app on the night.
- Fantasmic!: 6:30 PM, before the event starts.
- What's This? Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along (Hyperion Theater): 6:30, 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 and 11:30 PM.
- Disney Holidays in Hollywood (Theater of the Stars): 7, 8:15, 9:15 and 11 PM, and midnight.
- Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! fireworks (Chinese Theater): 10 PM, one show only.
- Glisten!, the skating show in front of the Chinese Theater, has no posted times yet. This year Donald, Daisy and Genie join it, the first Disney characters in the show (WDWMAGIC ↗).
Both stage shows pause from 9:30 to 11 PM, so the fireworks don't cost you a show. The catch is 6:30 PM: Fantasmic! and the first Sing-Along start at the same time, so pick one.
A night plan for families with little kids
- 5:30 PM: enter as soon as event ticket holders are let in, which gives you two hours of park time before the party officially starts at 7:30.
- 6:30 PM: Fantasmic! if your kids are fine with villains and loud effects. One family on r/WaltDisneyWorld ↗ found out this week that the empty front rows are the splash zone, so sit a few rows back. Prefer something gentler? Do the 6:30 or 7:30 PM Sing-Along instead.
- 7 to 9:15 PM: eat, then catch Disney Holidays in Hollywood at 7, 8:15 or 9:15 PM.
- Before 10 PM: be on Hollywood Boulevard or near the Chinese Theater for Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!
- After the fireworks: many guests head for rides or leave. If the kids are still going, the 11 PM Holidays in Hollywood and 11:30 PM Sing-Along are the late shows.
Food: what's new and what kids like
Food and drinks are extra, and Disney hasn't released prices. The 2026 menu has more than 20 new items across 18 locations (WDWMAGIC ↗). Disney's kids' picks:
- Yuletide Ham Popover (Fairfax Fare)
- Miss Piggy Strawberry Sundae (Hollywood Scoops), in a souvenir cup while supplies last
- Partysaurus Rex Brookie and Bing Bong Candy Lemonade (Market)
- Hickory Holiday Mac (Backlot Express)
- Christmas Gertie Cookie (Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream of Extinction)
New this year: the Checkin' It Twice Lounge in Animation Courtyard, with a live DJ and holiday drinks, and an Annual Passholder snack cart across from Beverly Sunset Boutique. Plant-based picks include the Gingerbread Bites, Cauliflower Taco and Sleigh Bell Brussels Sprouts.
