Official Jollywood Nights 2025

[CAPSLOCK]

It's now 7:35 on the first Jollywood of the year and all the rides are showing wait times. Presumably means they are all open during Jollywood even though only some are mentioned on the party description.

Any reviews from guests that went last night ? I heard they didn’t let people in til 6pm!! - not 5:30pm

Does anyone know if you can go to the 12 am showing of Gliston and then the 1230 show of nightmare before Christmas? Is there enough time?

Anybody attend the first Jollywood Party? Were all rides open?? I haven't bought my tickets yet....waiting to hear about what rides are opened during the party. Thanks!!

I checked a few times and saw wait times posted for all rides all night; including last time I checked at 11:59pm. We're primarily going for rides (and the Muppet holiday show) so I was worried with the website wording.

Thank you!! Just wanted to make sure before I go. Why wouldn't TSM be open? That's a game changer if not!!

While you’re waiting, this was a live experience by ResortTV1 as they experienced last night’s party.

(Party merch starts around the 34 minute mark.)

Has anyone seen if they have the special video photopass shots this year like in the past years? Like the moving arm one below?

Does anyone know if the Goofy and Pluto is an actual photopass meet, or if it’s a dance party situation where you can’t really get a pic? They don’t have Santa goofy at Magic Kingdom party anymore so I was hoping to get Goofy pic at Jollywood

Awe boo. Sounds bummed there’s no Goofy photo op at either party.
Thank you!

Curious to know if the character meet-and-greet process is relatively straightforward or if there's any nuance to it like, for example, will I need to get a wristband early on in order to even have the opportunity to wait for said character? This will be our first ever extra-ticketed event at WDW and I believe I've read about something along those lines happening at another event in the past (maybe MNSSHP?) so I wasn't sure how it all goes down.

I promise I have read this entire thread, but I was just wondering if anything started before 730. Would any of the characters meet before the official party start? Thanks.

traditional queues for characters - I believe Baloo and King Louie rotate but that’s about it.

No, everything starts at 7:30pm. The only thing would be the walk through at the entrance where the Jollywood sign is.

Excited to be back at WDW after a 5 year gap and Attending this event Dec 20th. Looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Our priorities are seeing Holidays in Hollywood, The NBC show and Tip Top Club. Anyone have suggestions on a strategy to attack these most efficiently? We also want some time to sample party food and drink.

Does anyone know if any Jollywood special food or beverage options open before official opening? We would like to see the first Nightmare Before Christmas show and take a Tune-in beverage with us. Thanks

They didn’t open before the official opening last year.
