Tonight's Disney Jollywood Nights event at Disney's Hollywood has been canceled due to poor weather moving across Florida this weekend.

Disney Holidays in Hollywood

The cancellation is slightly unusual, as Disney typically hosts events regardless of weather. However, Jollywood Nights is primarily an outdoor event, and the forecast offers little hope of conditions improving overnight.

Tickets remain available for the final two Disney Jollywood Nights events on December 18 and 20, 2023.

Disney has communicated to guests that a refund will automatically be issued.

Here is the full notice from Disney:

While we were looking forward to seeing you at Disney Jollywood Nights this evening, forecasted thunderstorms have caused us to cancel the event. We know this is a disappointment and appreciate your understanding.
With this change, your tickets for the event will automatically be refunded to the payment type you used for purchase, applied in approximately 7-10 business days. Should you have any additional questions or need assistance, please contact us at 407-939-5277.
We look forward to seeing you in the future and wish you a happy holiday season!

I got a gift card. Either way, they still have our money.

I helped out availability for tonight. I cancelled 12/18 for multiple reasons. I'm so much happier closing out the night at AK. In Nomad Lounge now if that gives you any indication.

Disney Jollywood Nights on December 20 (the final date) has sold out. Tickets are still available for the event tonight.

I checked with Disney, and they ended up giving me a 2-Day Magic Your Way Park Hopper in exchange for each of the tickets.

In a weird way I’m happy the event was canceled I knew it wasn’t going to be worth it but I purchased these tickets awhile ago hoping to make the most of it. I had a truly wonderful Christmas experience on the Disney fantasy

You'd likely have to seek a refund from that merchant. Or from that random dude on ebay.

Well unlike runaway rail, it was the weather that stopped jollywood.

Does anyone know what Disney will do for tickets bought from places outside of Disney?

JohnDDec 16, 2023

Will be under a Tornado watch for sure. Hopefully no warnings issued but will probably be the case.

Tornado warnings expected tonight.

Apparently Disney cancelled tonight's party outright. Probably too many cancellations already that no longer justified the cost of holding it. Someone else's screen capture shown. I already rescheduled to Monday.

They really should've had something for Home Alone & Die Hard during this event. Disney owns two of the most popular holiday movies, why wouldn't they use them? & yes, I know Die Hard's a R rated movie but this event is geared towards adults anyway. I think just a photo op &/or meet & greets with the Wet Bandits & John McClane would've been cool. I'd love for a Holiday Overlay of Tower with either movie. But that seems like a longshot, I imagine there might be backlash too like with Haunted over at DL.
