Disney Holidays in Hollywood

One of the most iconic parts of Jollywood Nights is Disney Holidays in Hollywood, which takes place at the Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage amphitheater on Sunset Boulevard. This show is a variety act of sorts, featuring several different Disney characters, and hosted by Kermit and Miss Piggy!

It was especially nice to see these characters again after Muppet*Vision 3D closed earlier this year! Now, we did see some issues with this show. Belle did her wonderful song, but then it was announced that the show was delayed and the house lights immediately came up. We did hear a rumor later on that the issue could have been a wardrobe malfunction, which is why it was able to come back up so quickly, because just a few minutes later, the show was back on!

Kermit and Miss Piggy!

Overall, this is a fantastic show and we think it’s a must-see at Jollywood Nights — don’t miss it!

Holiday Fiesta en La Calle

Ready to dance the night away? Head to Holiday Fiesta en la Calle near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster to enjoy some rockin’ music! The dancers and musicians were doing a fantastic job, but we were most excited to get to meet some of our favorite characters!

Over here is where you’ll be able to meet José Carioca or Panchito from The Three Caballeros…

Look who it is!

…as well as Miguel from Coco!

Hi Miguel!

It took us about 15 minutes to meet him, so his line wasn’t very long around an hour into the party, which is great for those looking to meet as many characters throughout the party.

Pixar Disco

If you’re a Pixar fan, you won’t want to miss this one! Find the Pixar Disco throughout the night (it takes a break between 9:30PM-10:30PM) right at Pixar Plaza. It was all decked out — we loved to see it!

Pixar Disco is ready to go!

Over here, you can meet Frozone, Mike Wazowski, Edna Mode, and Sadness in her winter toboggan!

Hi Sadness!

This is a great way to meet a lot of characters in one place, and we saw a lot of people really enjoying it!

Twilight Soiree at the Tip Top Club

Want to party with the ghosties? Then the Twilight Soiree is for you! Located in the courtyard by Tower of Terror, this entertainment offering features a live band and singer who all sound wonderful, and it’s just a vibe, for lack of a better word.

If you want to slow things down just a tad on your party night, this is a great option, and you can come and go as you please, which we’re big fans of.

Glisten!

Perhaps the most unique show during Jollywood Nights is Glisten! It’s an ice-skating show located right in front of the Chinese Theater.

Glisten!

This show is unlike any other we’ve ever seen in Disney World, and we’re so thrilled it’s returned for another year. If you love live entertainment, music, and the art of ice skating/dancing, this is one that you absolutely won’t want to miss.

It’s a great show!

Be sure to check your party map for showtimes, and know that bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, just like other outdoor shows in Disney World.

What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along

For those who love The Nightmare Before Christmas, make sure to stop by this sing-along in the Hyperion Theater! It features songs from the film along with some excellent storytelling and a surprise appearance by Jack Skellington himself.

Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!

Of course, a party wouldn’t be complete without fireworks! This show takes place at the Chinese Theater at 10PM. It’s hosted by the elves from Prep & Landing, and it’s an absolutely charming way to get into the spirit of the season.

Additional Experiences

We can’t forget about some of the other character experiences! Over near the entrance to Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll find Bing Bong, one of the most beloved characters from Inside Out, meeting with guests. His line took us about 20 minutes, though it looked scary at first, so don’t let it stop you.

It’s Bing Bong!

You’ll also want to head over to Toy Story Land to meet the one and only Partysaurus Rex!

Right nearby in Galaxy’s Edge, you can see Chewbacca celebrating Life Day! Since they don’t celebrate Christmas on Batuu or in the Star Wars universe, Chewbacca’s here to spread the Life Day spirit.

We also loved saying hey to Powerline Max over at Echo Lake!
