We don't yet have event dates, pricing, or details of any changes that may be made to this year's event following its debut last year. Disney Jollywood Nights review from 2023

Here is some of what was on offer in 2023.

Disney Jollywood Nights overview

"Disney Holidays in Hollywood," is a star-studded variety show in the grand tradition of Tinseltown holiday specials – all with a twist of today's Hollywood magic.

"What's This? Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along" in The Hyperion Theater sees Jack Skellington take us on an ethereal exploration of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas." Sing along to beloved songs from the iconic film and discover peculiar magic in unexpected places. Along the way, you'll conquer Oogie Boogie and be encouraged to follow your curiosity.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends are wearing new outfits exclusively for this glitzy celebration – and they invite you to do the same. The new outfits are inspired by the party's vintage vibe, which celebrates the glitz and glam of Hollywood. At the Animation Courtyard, the gang has just wrapped on the set of their new holiday film, and you're invited to catch a glimpse of the magic with Mickey & Friends Holiday Greetings.

Elsewhere a DJ will play the merriest of mash-ups, featuring a mix of smooth classics layered with modern beats. While tunes at the entrance set the tone for the evening, stroll around Echo Lake for a trip down a more recent memory lane featuring holiday music and characters from classic Disney Channel favorites, including Powerline Max, Rescue Rangers Chip' n' Dale and Phineas and Ferb.

At Welcome to Disney Jollywood Nights, strike your best pose for "The Gram" in front of a stunning new neon sign before joining the dance party. Disney PhotoPass photographers will be there to capture the moment, and complimentary digital downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos captured during the event are included with the price of your ticket.

A Robotic Arm Magic Shot will capture your red carpet moment with a glamorous, show-stopping video. There's also a Camera Array Magic shot – seven cameras that will shoot a boomerang-style photo of your group in front of a Disney Jollywood Nights backdrop.

I got my tickets, excited to see this event on the first night. Hope the holiday food is better than last year, the event also being extended is a nice change.

Yes, mine have been extremely low since they said it will be outdoors…but if they somehow get Nathan Chen to show up and do a meet and greet I will be buying tickets.

I think everyone should temper expectations on the skating show.

C33Mom8 days ago

I think it’s because I said I don’t think elite skaters will want to perform on plastic ice (and if they do it won’t be very good), and then someone else said money solves everything and then you replied that Sea World did it— so I can’t speak for the poster you’re responding to, but I did read your comment as “Sea World got elite skaters to perform on plastic ice.” Anyway, it sounds like we are about 2m out and there’s been no further info on the skating event they teased?

I am confused. There is nothing in the post you quoted that would indicate that I said it was fake ice. Although I considered as a possibility that they would do fake ice and rollerblades. I wouldn't put it past them.

I was really considering doing this but the higher price (only $10 more) when compared to the MK event really hurts it. I know it's more of a "short lines plus some holiday stuff on top" but it is just hard to convince myself to spend that kind of money in a park that's already short on things to do. But...if the Citizens of Hollywood returned then that might be enough to make it worth it for me.

Quick question that might be a little far out - do we know if Jiminy Cricket is gonna be a part of the character offerings this year? My girlfriend and I are weighing Jollywood against MVMCP and to be honest that is a factor 😂

That’s not fake ice, it’s very much real, I saw the Zamboni and everything.

I didn't go to Jollywood last year so I have no idea how the event was and I'm not going this year but I feel like this event just needs more. Like a parade or dare I say the Osborn lights? They're charging an insane amount for this, I guess it must have done enough last year that they decided to bring it back.
