    I had a great time at the event, low waits and I thought the food was spectacular, hope it is brought back.

    Thanks to you both. It seemed popular and had a bunch of sell outs after a questionable first year, so I just assumed it was coming back until I saw the post by Steve from December saying he wasn't sure. I found a page from Disney rewards that lists it as coming back this year, but it also has the wrong dates from OBB so I can't trust this as far as accuracy: https://disneyrewards.com/blog/travel-parks/disney-2025-special-events/ I basically have a cheap flight back from Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday that I'm willing to trade out for Orlando on Sunday. I better take my shot now while there is anything affordable from MCO.

    I am hopeful they bring it back this year. I was able to experience Disney World during the Holidays for the first time last December (I no longer work in retail after 30 long years) and this party was for sure a highlight!! The entertainment was great all around. I loved the “Jazz Club” outside of ToT and the Nightmare Before Christmas show especially. (And with that particular show winning awards I cant see why it wouldn’t return). Looking forward to actually “dressing up” this year.

    The return flights on that Sunday were super high last year. Jollywood debuted that Saturday, that’s why we stayed another night, but we end paying for it. Disney still has JN on its site and does mention that the entertainment/offerings could change from 2024. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/jollywood-nights/ I’d put it as a probable to return.

    Nothing new on this yet.

    Do you have any insight into whether this will be back this year, and if it's likely starting 11/8/25? We're coming back from a cruise that day and I was hoping to head to WDW for the first event this year. I know they don't usually announce the parties this early, but I'm looking for any intel I can get while purchasing flights. Most of the flight back from Orlando on Southwest have gone way up in price for Jersey week.

    Maybe I'll try it next year. I bought a ticket for it last year but mine get rained out. I mean REALLY rained out. I cancelled first but they ultimately cancelled the entire event for that night.

    I went this past Saturday. We were more focused on the rides and we all had a good time and very short wait times for every ride, even being sold out. We would have stuck around for the late Muppets show in the BatB theater but it was getting cold out and we were tired after flying in that morning. I still think they need to add some sort of "free" snacks, whether it's cookies and cocoa/cider like MVMCP or soda/water and ice cream bars like an After Hours event. For the cost, the awful marshmallow on the way out is just cheap, especially when MVMCP gives cookies, drinks, and a nice ornament.

    It will be interesting to see what happens. It was on the edge for this year, and it hasn't sold out many dates in comparison to Very Merry.

    Looks like it is selling out, maybe it will stick around for next year.

    December 14 is the next Jollywood Nights event date that has now sold out. December 18 is the last remaining date with tickets still available.

    DCBakerDec 06, 2024

    December 7 is the next Jollywood Nights event date that has now sold out. 3 dates currently remain available: December 11, 14 and 18.

    I rolled up to I think the 1025 one and the sitting enforcement in the front really makes it available all night as most people don’t want to sit and they enforce it so if you don’t mind sitting you have your pick of the shows

    December 21 is the next Jollywood Nights event date that is now sold out (as of the evening of November 22).
