Disney Expands Jollywood Nights Into January and Extends Party Hours
The 2026 update gives guests a five-hour event window and applies a two-stage ticket sale that favors on-property guests while keeping nightly capacity capped.
Overview
- Walt Disney World published Jollywood Nights dates for November, December and, for the first time, January with events listed including January 3 and January 5.
- The party entry time moves earlier to 5:30 p.m. and the event will run until 12:30 a.m., providing a full five-hour experience for ticketed guests.
- Tickets will be sold in two phases with a presale on July 9 for guests at select Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green, and a general on-sale on July 16.
- Disney confirmed returning seasonal entertainment such as Disney Holidays in Hollywood with Kermit and Miss Piggy, the 'What's This' sing-along, Jingle Bell/Jingle Bam, and the Glisten! skating show.
- Disney says nightly tickets remain limited and controlled by capacity limits even though past Jollywood Nights nights have not always sold out, which could concentrate demand for specific dates.
