Disney’s Jollywood Nights (DJN) 2024
Updated: Nov 11
***updated 11/11/24
2023 brought a brand new after hours party at Hollywood Studios where the spirit of old Hollywood blends with Christmas and Disney Magic. The party had a rocky start last year, with long lines and less than magical offerings. Disney adjusted and made changes along the way, and by the end of the holiday season last year there had been a lot of improvements. We won't be experiencing it ourselves until December, but opening night reviews were very positive for 2024! The party is different from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, focusing more on live shows and entertainment. While there is still plenty to entertain young guests, Jollywood has more of an adult vibe, themed around the glam of vintage Hollywood. Guests often choose to embrace the theming and dress up in vintage Hollywood holiday attire. Tickets are on sale now, so make sure you do not miss out!
