Walt Disney World hosts Jollywood Nights from 7 November

Walt Disney World hosts Disney Jollywood Nights from 7 November 2026 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. The resort, whose established English name is Walt Disney World Resort, is preparing a separately ticketed evening programme built around holiday entertainment and Hollywood themes.

Disney Jollywood Nights begins on 7 November

The official Walt Disney World event calendar lists Disney Jollywood Nights on select nights from 7 November 2026 to 5 January 2027. Its first listed date falls within the current travel window, which runs from 19 October to 23 November 2026, making the November opening the immediate date for visitors to note.

The programme includes festive decoration and photo locations throughout Disney’s Hollywood Studios, together with Disney Holidays in Hollywood. The show is hosted by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy and includes music, dancing and Disney characters, according to the organiser’s 2026 event calendar.

Hollywood Studios supplies the event setting

Disney Jollywood Nights uses the Hollywood Studios park rather than presenting a resort-wide programme. Other listed elements include What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along and Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, which brings holiday scenes from Disney films to the facade of the park’s Chinese Theatre.

The link between venue and programme is specific: the event’s Hollywood theme is carried into the park’s named theatre, while the same evening also combines live stage entertainment with a film-based sing-along. The operator describes the event as separately ticketed and says theme park admission is not included.

Four parks form the Orlando resort complex

Walt Disney World Resort is near Orlando in central Florida, rather than within the city centre. Encyclopaedia Britannica describes the complex as covering 47 square miles (122 square km) and including four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The resort opened in 1971, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of the four parks now within the wider complex. That history gives the November programme a clear setting: Jollywood Nights is a current seasonal event inside a resort that has expanded far beyond its first Magic Kingdom phase. The location and scale are documented by Britannica’s resort overview.
