Jollywood Nights is a fun event that happens during the Christmas season at Hollywood Studios. This event is not included with the price of the park ticket so a separate ticket is required for the event.
Jollywood Nights happens on select nights from November 7 to January 5. This will be the first time the event is extended into January, so that’s good news for those visiting after the holidays. Guests with Jollywood Nights tickets can enter the park as early as 5:30pm. The party officially starts at 7:30 pm and runs until 12:30 am.

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
