Jollywood Nights 2026 showtimes are now posted, and the schedule shows how a party night at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will play out from the first show to the last. The big change for anyone planning around Fantasmic! is that it runs early on event nights, at 6:30pm, before the party officially begins.
Disney Jollywood Nights is the separately ticketed holiday party at Hollywood Studios, running on select nights from November 7 through January 5. The event itself runs from 7:30pm to 12:30am, and ticket holders can start arriving as early as 5:30pm. Blog Mickey went through Disney’s posted times, and they hold for every event night, with one small exception on December 14.
Jollywood Nights 2026 Show Times
Five shows have set times on the schedule. Four are party performances for Jollywood Nights ticket holders only:
- Disney Holidays in Hollywood at Theater of the Stars: 7:00pm, 8:15pm, 9:15pm, 11:00pm and midnight
- What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along at Hyperion Theater: 6:30pm, 7:30pm, 8:30pm, 9:30pm and 11:30pm
- Sunset Seasons Greetings: 6:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:45pm, 9:45pm, 10:45pm and 11:30pm
- Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!: 10:00pm
Fantasmic! is the fifth, and it is open to every guest in the park that evening. It plays once at 6:30pm on event nights, while Hollywood Studios is still open for regular day guests. On most other nights it is listed at 9:30pm, so day guests who want to see it on a party date will need to be in their seats early.
A few pieces are still missing. The Glisten! skating show, Pixar Disco and the Twilight Soirée did not have times listed yet.
Park Hours And Daytime Shows On Party Days
Hollywood Studios closes to regular guests at 7:00pm on every event night. November 7 and 14 also open earlier, with Early Theme Park Entry at 8:00am and the park opening at 8:30am. On the other party dates, Early Theme Park Entry starts at 8:30am and the park opens at 9:00am.
Several daytime shows wrap up sooner on Jollywood Nights dates, so the afternoon is the time to catch them. The Frozen sing-along ends with a 3:50pm show, Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage with a 3:30pm show, The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure at 6:45pm, and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After at 6:30pm. Disney Movie Magic and Wonderful World of Animation are not scheduled on party nights at all, so plan another day for either one.
If you have a party ticket, the simplest plan is to grab Fantasmic! at 6:30pm, then work through the party shows once the event starts. Holidays in Hollywood and the Nightmare Before Christmas sing-along each play five times a night, which leaves room to fit in the new Jollywood Nights food between shows, with Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! lighting up the sky at 10:00pm.
