Disney Jollywood Nights has officially reached a milestone for its 2024 season, with opening night on November 9 now sold out.

Characters Coming to Disney Jollywood Nights 2024

This is the first date for this year’s event to reach capacity for the holiday celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

While other dates remain available, the sell-out of opening night follows a similar trend to last year, when several early dates and peak nights reached capacity.

This year’s event promises new experiences, including the debut of the “Glisten!” skating show in front of the Chinese Theatre, along with exclusive character encounters featuring Santa Duffy, Scrooge McDuck, and more. With limited-capacity admission, Disney Jollywood Nights offers guests shorter wait times for popular attractions and unique holiday offerings not available during regular park hours.

Santa Duffy was the DHS Christmas Week replacement in 2023 as well so this just seems to be business as usual at this point

Santa Goofy is confirmed at DAK. I’m guessing Duffy because Duffy meets at Jollywood.

Something called “Santa Duffy” replaces Santa at the DHS M&G 12/25-31. I remember Santa Goofy years back. Guess it’s Duffy now?

Of course all this is is a 2 hour commercial to promote the parks and resorts….what else would it be? And yes, I totally see where it would be better to make tons of Disney staff and entertainment people have to work on Christmas instead of being with their families to cater to a bunch of people who want to have a “live event” as opposed to-prerecorded. And certainly given that the parks are completely empty in Xmas day, it definitely makes sense to do the live show then, as opposed to pre-recorded since with such low crowds it won’t interfere at all with the guests and day at the park.

SOUNDS BORING to me! All this is is a HUGE 2 hour INFOMERCIAL for DIsney Resorts...nothing special anymore! This was 'something' to watch...just like The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...because it was LIVE and not prerecorded. Bring back the Christmas Day Parade: LIVE from WDW and DL...then you'll have a bigger viewing audience...I will not be watching

Not to mention a Ball and lots of stars.

They've ALWAYS had Garland hanging in the dining room...

It was disappointing to not see him but I assumed they pulled him after the online stalking. I know the other site said he hasn’t been pulled but some CM’s on reddit said he has so who knows.

Tally's a snitch.

And hopefully that’s true, but still people are leaking their identity and being incredibly creepy.

The Other Site claims that Disney says he hasn’t been pulled from the parade.

Just a note that the Brown Derby is actually decorated this year, well sort of. No tree in the lobby or anything like they use to, but the dining room has some garland and hanging decorated boughs etc.
