Disney Jollywood Nights Glisten Skating Rink
Posted: Tuesday November 5, 2024 11:36am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The setup for Disney Jollywood Nights' new "Glisten!" skating show is now well underway, with the skating rink installed in front of the Chinese Theatre at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The rink is surrounded by ground-level LED lighting, and new lighting towers have been placed on either side of the stage to provide more focused lighting.


The "Glisten!" show is part of Disney Jollywood Nights, taking place on select nights from November 9 to December 21, 2024, with the skating show as one of this year's key highlights.

"Glisten!" will feature international champion skaters performing intricate routines to a mix of holiday music and beloved Disney songs such as "Be Our Guest" and "When You Wish Upon A Star." Showtimes are 8:15 pm, 9:15 pm, 10:30 pm, 11:15 pm and 12:15 am.

It wouldn't be ice dancers either. Our blades are a bit different but not that different, we would still ruin them.

So the viewing of this is going to be extremely bad. Really only the people right up against the railing will get a good view. Everyone else will be bobbing/weaving between the heads in front of them and the inevitable children on the shoulders.

Hm, more rink, less decoration. Can't do much on that little square.

Check out the photos of Mickey and Minnie in their garb during the half-marathon this weekend (not Chef outfits, but their M&G on course). That's what I expected for Jollywood, not whatever it is we got.

It is not safe to do any elite level maneuvers on plastic “ice”— so I’m curious what international skating stars they signed up. Maybe ice dancers or skaters from the 1980s? Back when I was competing, my coaches would not have let me used my real blades on this kind of surface… but I guess it would be trivial for Disney to buy them a set of special performance use blades. We bought Jollywood night tickets because I wanted to support the concept of skating in the parks, but what I’ve seen so far (along with the strange failure to disclose who the skating stars are) has kept my expectations extremely low.

You would think DHS would want a good size Rink........like the 2014 show for Frozen Summer. Maybe the Budget of 2024 Jollywood should have gone to Castle Dreamlights..............

Just for reference, this is SeaWorld's ice show... (1 of 3 major stage shows for the holidays included in park admission).

Looks like they'll oil up that plastic sheet and then run and slide on it.
