“Who’s Your Friend?” Bing Bong Debuts Exclusive Holiday Look at Walt Disney World’s Jollywood Nights! The memories were made last night as guests attending the first Disney Jollywood Nights of the season were treated to a magical and exclusive first-time character meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World: Bing Bong from Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out!
The imaginary friend made his grand, holiday-ready entrance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ extra-ticketed seasonal party. Guests were treated to the grand entrance, and when meeting Bing Bong received an autograph card. Bing Bong from the movie Inside Out is made of cotton candy, with a nougat-filled center. His physical form is a hybrid of a cat, elephant, and dolphin, and he cries tears of candy. He is meeting guests on Grand Ave in Hollywood Studios during Jollywood Nights.
Bing Bong’s East Coast Debut in a Brand New Ensemble at Jollywood Nights 2025
While the character’s global debut for meet & greets was a highly celebrated event on January 30, 2024, at the Pixar Place Hotel in Disneyland Resort, marking the first time the character would ever meet and greet guests, Bing Bong’s arrival in Florida comes with a stylish new wardrobe, making this experience for Walt Disney World visitors unique.
Bing Bong’s new look for Jollywood Nights is distinctly different from his Disneyland counterpart, featuring several holiday-themed updates:
- New Bowler Hat: He is sporting a charming new bowler-style hat adorned with a red ribbon that features festive green polka dots. The hat is perfectly accented with a small, cheerful piece of Holly.
- Festive Lapel Pin: The other major difference is his signature flower lapel pin, which has been swapped out for a holiday-ready version that is now green with a bright red center.
Exclusive to Jollywood Nights
The buzz among attendees last night, November 8, 2025, was palpable. This was the very first time Bing Bong has ever met guests at Walt Disney World, and his appearance is an exclusive offering for the Disney Jollywood Nights event. Located on Grand Avenue, the pink, cotton candy-scented friend’s line was one of the most popular of the evening, with fans eager to create core memories with the beloved character.
This rare character experience joins a fantastic lineup of unique entertainment, specialty food, and exclusive holiday offerings available only during Disney Jollywood Nights on select evenings through December 22, 2025.
