@DenaRox - I didn't notice you had a thread started for this on the Happy Dance Board! Did you want to use your thread? You can just ask to move it to this board I think and we can let this thread fade into the night!

Otherwise we can just use this one.

We are going mid-week in December and book ended with MNSSHP parties on Sunday and Thursday. First time for JWN.

I have tickets for 12/7, as of now. Still deciding if we want to go. It's me, DBF, DD and DGS7. Trying to decide between day at Epcot or Jollywood nights. (we arrive around noon that day). We are doing MVMCP on 12/8 and another park on Monday.

My family is NOT helpful in helping me make this decision.

We came to the decision because this will probably be our only visit during the holidays (we just happen to love visiting in October best) and 4 adults with (some) extra money to afford it so we thought let's just splurge and do all the holiday stuff.

I personally really like DHS better after it's dark out and with all the Christmas decorations I thought it would be an excellent chance to really enjoy the atmosphere. Plus the short wait times, the different food, I said let's go for it!
Shows aren't really that interesting to us, so not a priority. Cocktails are always fun.

I'll say that watching vlogs that took place last year after the first party - everyone seemed to really enjoy it and the crowds were barely there!

I have moved the first thread to the main board and merged the two together. The original thread is now the one at the top as merging automatically puts the posts in date order.

Have fun planning your Jollywood Nights!!

I have decided to keep JN on 12/7, MVMCP on 12/8 and Epcot on 12/9. I moved to AKL for 12/9 so we can get the Epcot extended evening hours. We can suffer with one bathroom for a few hours, and it was cheaper than AoA Suite.

Now to get excited about Jollywood Nights!

Okay but now I can't update the first post right? My post I worked on is now post #8.

Guys I'll let DenaRox take over the planning thread with updates and stuff as it's all merged now and it was their thread that was originally created and I don't want to step on toes! Happy planning!

Yes @DenaRox will be responsible to update the first posts. Everyone else is still welcome to post updates in the thread though.

Appreciate your efforts! I feel like this is where the thread belongs; it is better to have one thread.

I've heard bad reviews about this one, so I think I might chance it and wait to see if its improved since last year before booking. I am use to Very Merry so wanted to try something different this time.

We bought tickets for 12/14 and will be attending MVMCP 12/15 as well. We attended the final night of Jollywood Nights last year and, though we didn't enjoy it as much as MVMCP, we loved the stage show with the Muppets, the short wait times for rides, and how empty Galaxy's Edge was. The Studios also has my favorite holiday decorations at WDW, and I love seeing it all lit up at night.

On a side note, I'm very excited that there will be more merch offered this year, and that some of it appears to feature Ollie...I think he's adorable!

 

[dizneedoll]

Im going 12/11. Doing MVMCP on 12/10 and then again on 12/12. Im just going to be bursting at the seams with Christmas party joy!

 

[DenaRox]

Hi everyone! Sorry for any confusion, I accidently posted the 2024 Jollywood nights thread in the wrong section and just figured nobody cared because the event is so new lol . Now that it is merged here, i will keep it updated with any and all new info as it comes out. If you would like to be added to a party list of who is going when just let me know your dates, iwill add any dates already posted


as for me,
I went back and forth of if i wanted to spend the money on such a new event that started off so horribly last year (but did improve as the nights went on). With discounts that came out i switched some stuff around and ended up saving a couple hundred so i am officially going to the Dec 2 party, WOOT WOOT! Excited to plan with you all

added dates to here

I too saw a lot of videos about how terrible the 1st one was last year. I did see that they progressively got better as the dates progressed. Hopefully Disney learned a lot from all the mistakes last year and this year will be amazing smart though to wait it out an extra year just to be safe.

I am doing back to back parties as well. JW on 2nd and MVMCP on 3rd. I'm old though so the 3rd will not be a park day so i can sleep and relax a bit before the MVMCP I am loving the little merch glimpses we are getting, Ollie is too cute, i'll be snagging a pin at the very least!

I'm going solo 12/11. It's a quick trip, flying in Monday and doing Epcot, MVMCP on 12/10, and then Jollywood. Flying home on the 12th.

I'm doing my very first solo trip and i'm already feeling ALL the emotions lol.

I don't generally look at the Happy Dance thread.

ya that was my bad lol. i was so confused why there wasn't one already made so i made one and then i was so confused why nobodywas participating. ;P

This is exactly what we're doing on our MVMCP day...and then we fly home the next afternoon. My husband and I spent our honeymoon at WDW way back in 1994, so we aren't exactly spring chickens either!

 

[mamamelody2]

My husband and I will be there November 9 and 13. Can't wait!

I am taking two rest days on this trip. One is only 1/2 day as it’s the party night but the other is a full no park day. I don’t sleep well as it is so I am sure I will be running on fumes. In a perfect world I’d have a longer trip and do one on one off for the whole trip. lol. If only I had the $$$ for that. I think I turned 21 in 94. It’s all a blur now haha.

My husband and I will be there November 9 and 13. Can't wait!

Yay! Congrats. I’ll add you to the list. I’m excited for you November party goers who can keep us December goers excited, up to date and informed ◡̈

Wardrobe question! What is everyone planning to wear? I know dressing up isn’t necessary, and there will be a good mix of dressy & casual, but I’m in the fence.

On the one hand I want head back to room. Take a lil break and be a lil fancy but on the other I’m travelling with a carryon so space is limited. For me I’m narrowing it down from what I’m already going to be wearing before the party or this dress of mine that would be easy to pack (minus the flowers ), and “fancy” croc slides lol. My daughter said the crocs ruin it but i dunno, I think it might be cute??? Out of these options which would you go for?

excuse my crappy crocs edit i was in a rush, the pearls on shoes are white like my ears

Normal HS outfit for the day​

Or “fancy” outfit ​

As someone who always wears doc martens or Vans with everything, ( I wore my Doc Marten boots to my wedding LOL) wear what makes you happy. I’m wearing this dress, these socks and probably my Vans
