Disney Jollywood Nights
Jollywood Nights is a separate ticketed event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that combines old Hollywood glam with festive fun each November and December. Guests can enjoy performances, holiday decor, specialty food and beverages, exclusive entertainment, purchase event merchandise, and take advantage of lower ride wait times.
This year, Jollywood Nights returns on select nights from November 8 through December 22, 2025. The November dates are set for select Saturdays and Mondays, while the December dates are on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. There are 13 event dates in total, which is the same as 2024. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. on party nights and ends at 12:30 a.m.
The two newest stage shows in Disney’s Hollywood Studios will join this year’s entertainment lineup for the event.
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
In Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, guests enter the realm of the Magic Mirror—where dozens of villains are trapped! They want the Mirror to reveal the truth: which villain has been treated the most unfairly of them all? Watch as Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent present their cases on stage, persuading with wicked wisdom and wisecracks.
