Would it be better to skip Jollywood nights and do MVMCP twice?

[OP95]

Hi all,

back in 2023 I went to Disney during the festive period for the first time and booked MVMCP but unfortunately it was rained out and most of it was cancelled. I also booked one night of Jollywood nights which was the opening day and IIRC left pretty early as I wasn’t impressed and didn’t feel very festive. Though I was a big fan of the Kermit show. I was thinking of possibly booking two nights for MVMCP and skipping Jollywood all together this time. Has anyone been to JN last year? Do you know if it had improved since the opening? It will just be me in my party so I’m not too bothered about the prices as I’ll just be paying for myself.

Would love to hear your thoughts on each!

We also went to opening night of Jollywood in 2023 (which was the first year it was held) and decided to give it another try last year, also on opening night. IMO last year was much improved and we enjoyed ourselves so much more than in 2023. A lot of the issues that people complained about with the early dates of 2023 were eliminated and everything ran smoothly. Beverages and treats were much easier to get. The bottleneck crowds were largely eliminated. The entertainment was more accessible and very well done.
I think both parties are worth doing this year. That's our plan anyway

I would recommend reading the Official Jollywood Nights 2024 thread for guest experiences last year to help you make your decision. I know there were a lot more positive reports last year.

Thank you, that’s good to know about the crowds, I remember seeing how big the line was by Gerties ice cream after coming out of the show and it was very off putting. Glad to know that’s now been fixed.

We liked Jollywood Nights about 1000 times more than the Christmas party. We attended both for the first time this past December. All of DHS is decorated (outside of Galaxy's Edge), where as MK feels like mostly just on Main Street. We were so impressed with DHS holiday decorations, we think it was the best out of the 4 parks. Shows, music in almost every corner and the food was (in our opinion) much better than the Christmas part.

Just felt more like a big, fun holiday party.
