Disney World just announced a ton of exciting offerings will be returning to the parks this year, and a brand new holiday party is coming to Hollywood Studios!
Jollywood Nights
Disney’s Jollywood Nights is a new, separately ticketed event that will take place from 8:30PM to 12:30AM on ten select nights from November 11th through December 20th, 2023. It will be full of food, entertainment, and lots of character meet and greets! Speaking of which, come with us for a sneak peek at one of the exclusive meet-and-greets coming to Jollywood Nights!
Disney announced that as part of this event, Animation Courtyard will be lined with characters including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto, and Powerline Max, Chip ‘n’ Dale, and Phineas and Ferb can be found at Echo Lake! As part of a recent preview of Jollywood Nights, we got to check out a sneak peek of one of the character meet-and-greets.

Say hello to Phineas and Ferb!
Hey dudes!
Each meet and greet at Echo Lake will have its own Christmas tree including this one with Phineas and Ferb! Over at Pixar Place, you’ll be able to meet Edna Mode with a 1950s theme and catch Frozone’s Snow Zone!
We can’t wait to see them again!
Throughout the park, guests will be able to experience unique music and entertainment inspired by different genres. For example, over at Commissary Lane, guests can explore a lively Latin Street Fair featuring three different bands, while Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will host a live holiday special over at Theater of the Stars with some other Disney friends like Tiana and Belle.

But, if you’re intrigued by this NEW holiday offering, make sure to check the calendar and grab those tickets!

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of holiday offerings. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
