Jollywood Nights is back for 2024, offering holiday cheer mixed with the glam of old Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Running on select nights from November 9 to December 21, this limited-capacity, ticketed event is packed with unique experiences you won’t find during regular park hours. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in 2024.

New for 2024: Advance Reservations for the Hollywood Brown Derby Event

A major change for this year is how you can experience the Jazzy Holidays at the Hollywood Brown Derby. In 2023, this exclusive event was available only on a day-of booking basis, making it a challenge to secure a spot. For 2024, Disney has introduced advance reservations, allowing guests to book their spot up to 30 days before their event night. Guests can book via the Walt Disney World website or app in the same way they book a typical dining reservation.  This is a welcome change, especially since seating is limited. The Brown Derby offers an intimate experience featuring craft cocktails, holiday-inspired light bites, and live piano performances of smooth holiday tunes—perfect for getting into the holiday spirit.

Exclusive Offerings and Entertainment

Jollywood Nights is designed to blend holiday magic with a retro Hollywood vibe. In addition to the Hollywood Brown Derby event, guests can enjoy:

• Character meet-and-greets with rare characters dressed in their holiday best.
• Exclusive stage shows, such as a holiday performance at the Theater of the Stars.
• Dance parties  featuring DJs and live bands and this year, characters.
• Special nighttime access to select Hollywood Studios attractions, which often means shorter wait times for rides like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and a standby line for Rise of the Resistance.

Unique Holiday Treats and Merchandise

On top of these experiences, Jollywood Nights offers event-specific treats and merchandise. Last year saw limited merchandise, but 2024 brings Spirit Jerseys, ears, pins, ornaments, and more. Each guest will also get exclusive champagne-marshmallows as an event gift.

Tips for Attending Jollywood Nights 2024

• Reserve early: Since the Jazzy Holidays event is now bookable in advance, it’s recommended to lock in your reservation as soon as possible, as these spots are likely to fill up fast.
• Arrive early: The event begins at 8:30 PM, but guests with Jollywood Nights tickets can enter Hollywood Studios as early as 7 PM to maximize their time in the park.
• Plan ahead for shows and character meets: With limited time and so many unique offerings, prioritize which experiences matter most to you.
