Bing Bong & Partysaurus Rex Coming to Jollywood Nights 2025 – Complete List of Characters. Jollywood Nights 2025 is almost here, and excitement is already building. This year, the holiday party is set to feature more than 28 characters. For the first time at Walt Disney World, Bing Bong from the Pixar Movie Inside Out will appear. Furthermore, PartySaurus Rex from the Pixar Toy Story movies was announced to meet guests in Toy Story Land.
Bing Bong has been meeting guests on the West Coast at Disneyland’s Pixar Hotel. Partysaurus Rex has shown up at Typhoon Lagoon previously. Check out the full character list below.
Santa Duffy moves to Walt Disney Presents, and Miguel from Coco will appear near Rock n’ Roller Coaster. Chewbacca has been announced at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, where he will be celebrating Life Day. Grand Ave near the old Muppets Courtyard will be home to Bing Bong and Goofy & Pluto.
The 2024 Jollywood Nights event saw a major upgrade to the extra-ticketed holiday party at Disney World. The long lines to get into the party were more controlled, plus more entertainment and characters were added. The party became the must-attend event, and our review reflected this last year.
This year’s party looks to be even bigger and better, with Holiday Fiesta en la Calle moving to the vibrant Coaster Courtyard on Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Plus, the two new shows at Hollywood Studios, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” and “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After,” have been added to the offerings.
Tickets are now on sale for guests to celebrate the season in style with a ticket to this 5-hour event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select nights from November 8 to December 22, 2025! Get swept up in festive fun and Disney nostalgia! Discover sparkling décor, delightful touches, and photo-worthy spots all around Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Disney Jollywood Nights!

Last year, lines formed early for many of the character meet and greets, and we found that waiting until later in the evening, we waited less than 10 minutes for the most popular characters like Phineas and Ferb.
