Summary

Disney Jollywood Nights debuted November 11, 2023 at Walt Disney World, and I was there (on a paid ticket, not by invitation) to experience the event for myself. With two live stage show performances (Disney Holidays In Hollywood and What's This? Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along), live street performances (Twilight Soiree at the Tip Top Club and Holiday Fiesta En La Calle), Jingle Bell Jingle BAM nighttime spectacular, Jazzy Lounge at the Hollywood Brown Derby, unique Disney PhotoPass and character meet-and-greet opportunities, and over 60 unique snack and beverage items available for purchase, there is so much to see in this four-hour after hours holiday event. In this podcast episode, we provide a summary of Disney Jollywood Nights, discuss our experiences on the event's opening night, share some advice and strategies, share similarities and differences to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and even offer some potential areas of improvement. Special thanks to my guests Lou Mongello of WDW Radio and Kelly Craig of KMV Travel (KMV Travel is a sponsor of this episode).
