The holidays have arrived at Disney World, and our team is ready to get JOLLY!
We’re here!
We are here on the first night of Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2025. Come along with us as we eat and see EVERYTHING at this year’s party so you can be in the know. Let’s go!
This post will be updated throughout the evening as we experience more of Jollywood Nights, so make sure to keep checking back for the latest updates!
Crowds
The event runs from 7:30PM until 12:30AM, but with a party ticket, you can get into Disney’s Hollywood Studios beginning at 6PM. So, we made sure we were at the entrance and were ready to go by 6PM.
The lines were LONG when we arrived!
The line to get in was ridiculously long for the first night, with several switchbacks and close quarters. They had to start letting people in a little early because we were LITERALLY running out of space. We’ll be interested to see how these crowds translate once we’re inside the park.
WOAH
Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event that happens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select nights from November 8th and December 22nd, 2025.
Party Map
You will also be able to pick up your party map once you are inside Hollywood Studios. It will have all the information you need, including details about entertainment, which attractions are open, dining locations, and other event activities!
It’s the map!
The map inside will give you a detailed look of all the locations of interest during the party! You will be able to take a look at Entertainment Highlights and see where you can meet characters, find PhotoPass photographers, and more.
A look at this year’s map
The map this year is jam-packed with information, and it is a hefty guide! Cast Members were handing out maps as we walked in, so it should be easy to find one when you arrive.
All the info!
It’s also a pretty nice souvenir from your party visit! This year’s version feels high quality and has pretty much anything you’d want to know about the event inside.
Character info
Seriously, this will make your evening so much smoother!
