Disney has confirmed the 2026 dates for Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with the event running select nights from November 7 through January 5, extending into January for the first time in the event’s history.
This confirms what Disney teased yesterday as part of Halfway to the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights is the first major piece of that rollout to land with full details.
November dates fall on select Saturdays and Mondays, December dates expand to select Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays, and the new January dates land on select Sundays and Tuesdays. The full 2026 calendar includes November 7, 14, 16, 21, 23, and 28; December 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, and 23; and January 3 and 5.
Entry opens at 5:30 p.m. with festivities beginning at 7:30 p.m., and guests have until 12:30 a.m. to enjoy the event, giving attendees up to five hours inside the party once it kicks off.
Tickets go on sale July 9 for guests staying at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green. General public sale opens July 16. Discounts are available across all event nights for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.
This is a separately ticketed, limited-capacity event, meaning early purchase matters more than usual given how quickly select nights tend to sell out.
Entertainment returning for 2026 includes “Disney Holidays in Hollywood,” the musical stage show at Theater of the Stars hosted by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy with appearances from Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Belle, and Tiana. The Hyperion Theater will once again host “What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along,” blending Halloween Town and Christmas Town with sing-along favorites including “What’s This?” and “Sally’s Song.” The “Glisten!” ice skating show is also confirmed to return for 2026.
