According to WDWMAGIC sources, Disney's Hollywood Studios will debut an all-new ticketed holiday event at Walt Disney World this year.

Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!

As an alternative option alongside Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom, the Disney's Hollywood Studios event will feature special entertainment and access to the park's attractions.

A version of the Christmas holiday nighttime show Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! is expected to return as part of the event, the first time the holiday fireworks show has been offered since the pandemic closure. Originally debuting in 2016 and led by elves Wayne and Lanny, the duo from ABC/Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animated special "Prep & Landing," the yuletide adventure to the North Pole features memorable holiday moments from Disney films including "Mickey’s Christmas Carol," "Beauty and the Beast," "Pluto's Christmas Tree," "Bambi," Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and more.

Disney has seen robust sales of the Disney After Hours event at Disney's Hollywood Studios, with every night selling out through June. Adding a holiday event at the park makes a lot of sense and will likely follow the After Hours success.

Disney will announce its plans for the 2023 Walt Disney World Christmas Holiday season on June 15.

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.
