Tips for Disney Jollywood Nights

To make the most of your time at Disney Jollywood Nights, follow these few tips and tricks I’ve learned while experiencing the event:

Don’t Overpack Your Day: Consider purchasing party tickets for a day you don’t plan to hit the parks. If you are planning to visit a park during the day, be sure to head back in the afternoon for some down time so you are able to enjoy the whole party.

Reserve Dining Prior to the Party: With limited amount of time in the park during the party, you don’t want to spend it eating a table service dinner. Instead, reserve dining around 6 PM so you can have plenty of time to eat and won’t miss out on any of the party when it kicks off at 7:30 PM! If you want a holiday experience, I recommend booking Hollywood & Vine, as the characters will be decked out in holiday attire!

Prioritize: Before experiencing Jollywood Nights, take some time to review the party offerings and figure out what’s on your must do list. While we’d all love to do everything and eat ALL the food it’s not possible. Instead of running from spot to spot without a plan, rank your top 3 experiences and determine the best way to hit those within the party time. Whatever else you get to do will be extra!

Dress to Impress: Transport yourself back to the heyday of Hollywood and dress the part! You’ll see lots of people dressed in seasonal attire, including non-costumed Cast Members! This was such a fun aspect of the party that you won’t want to miss out on!

Leave Shows Until the End: If you’d like to check out the party exclusive shows and skip waiting in line, leave them until the end of the night. We saw the second to last show of Disney Holidays in Hollywood and last show of What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along and didn’t wait in line for either! In the first two hours of the evening, see some characters, grab some special treats, and take in other experiences like the Twilight Soiree at The Tip Top Club, Holiday Fiesta En La Calle, and Sunset Seasons Greetings.
