Is this worth bringing back? It got so much bad PR....
Wouldn't it be more effective to return Castle Dreamlights??
Returning Jollywood better not affect Future Projects!

Returning Jollywood better not affect Future Projects!
After the first night, guest ratings improved to the point where it was deemed worth giving it another go in 2024 - with some changes.
It was easy to forget it was there. No video screens in 2023, and most people seemed to just be largely ignoring it.

Even if they didn't want to put up the temporary screens, the Fantasmic! billboard screen is there all year round, just covered by a tarp.
Very weird they didn't even utilize it one bit after investing into upgrading it a couple years ago..

Agree. Do any of the parks even have holiday treats or snacks to purchase during normal operating hours? I cant recall many options the last few years though I could be mistaken. Half the reason we won't go during the holidays anymore since its all behind a paywall.

Yes. Each park had themed snacks for Christmas and EPCOT has a whole festival.

So, what's from them changing this to just a non ticketed event..It's ridiculous.

I know Epcot has FotH, which I do enjoy. But MK I recall only had like 1 or 2 holiday treat options this past year and studios was similar. Just shame that we have to buy a party ticket to be able to choose from and purchase a normal selection of holiday treats that should be for sale durning the day.

Money. They want money. It’s really not complex.
They had more than that available during regular hours, but you’re correct there was much more available at parties. Unfortunately for those not wishing to attend, special food items is a big selling point for many to come to the parties, especially to those who’ve attended in the past. With that said, every resort and park had holiday food offerings available that didn’t require you to go to a party. Could they do more? Sure, but it’s not like they do nothing. The real tragedy last year was the Jollywood shows not becoming normal park experiences after the final parties were done, like the Christmas parade does.
