Ready to start thinking about holiday fun around Walt Disney World? Disney has released their full schedule for Christmas activities around the theme parks, including the return of Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This season Jollywood Nights will stretch into January for the very first time.
Here’s the full schedule for Jollywood Nights to end 2026 and begin 2027:
November: 7, 14, 16, 21, 23, 28
December: 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 23
January: 3, 5
Walt Disney World has traditionally wrapped up their paid holiday events before Christmas. Jollywood Nights has ended a few days before Christmas in each of the past two years. Over at the Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party also ends a few days before Christmas.
Now, normally we’d roll our eyes a bit at Disney expanding their holidays. Don’t get us started on the Magic Kingdom’s Halloween parties beginning in early August. But, we’re actually fans of Jollywood Nights lasting into early January! Many guests celebrate the holidays into the new year, so why not at Walt Disney World?
Jollywood Nights is widely considered a very good holiday event at Walt Disney World, though not a perfect one. There has been some growing pains. The reduced waits for attractions aren’t quite as reduced as some would like. But, the entertainment (Muppets! Nightmare Before Christmas!) are excellent.
While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom remains the gold standard, Jollywood Nights is a strong second offering for holiday fun at Walt Disney World.
