While waiting for the parade, we overheard some discussion from those at the preview and said the show was about 15 minutes and they reiterated if you are not in the front few rows, you couldn’t see much.

Is there a show schedule yet? If they ran it 5x or more, it would still allow most people who really want to see it opportunities to catch it without waiting more than 30-45m between shows.

Does anyone know if any of the QS food locations have their regular menus available during this event or are they only serving the special party snacks? I know mobile ordering isn't available bit that's not unusual for special events.

Bunch of changes to Disney Holidays in Hollywood this year.
  • The live stage production special aspect is gone now. There’s no more voiceover “show director” doing the transitions between the segments.
  • Because of above, the old transitions have been replaced with more Kermit and Piggy. They have a bunch of new and updated lines and stuff. They took the lack of Muppet feedback from last year to heart, which is good.
  • Tiana’s 2nd song, Up on the House Top, was axed. Instead her original first song is extended and played as she exits the stage.
  • Mickey and Minnie’s segment got new backup vocals. Also some new choreography.
  • The transition before the Belle segment and the finale was changed from the main vocals talking to Kermit and Piggy.
  • The lighting has been updated throughout the show, thanks to the theater lighting tech upgrades that occurred recently. Looks so much better now and obvious.
  • More decorations on the stage. The lit garland hanging on the top is new (see screenshots below, top is 2024 vs 2023 bottom).
  • Tiana and Belle now come out earlier in the finale and sing. This was another miscue from last year that was fixed, imo.
  • Show length is now 25 mins versus 27 mins. This is due to the cut down on the long (maybe awkward) transitions from last years version.
  • Overall the show flows much better and is a big improvement from last year.

Yuca con Chicharrón and the duffy brownie were to die for! I'm not joking when I say it, the Yuca was probably the best quick service food I ever had at WDW resort. It was that good, and it really reminded me of Disneyland. The coca cola brownie is just a fantastic desert, the acidity from the coke pairs very well with it. the mexican hot chocolate cheese cake was decent and I say skip the kermit shake, really wasn't that special imo.

We actually enjoyed nearly all the Jollywood snacks. And all the ones we got were snack credits on the DDP.

Kermit shake
Turkey turnover
Buffalo chicken spring rolls
Chicken empanadas and street corn
Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake
Cauliflower tacos

Only thing we didn’t like was Taco ‘bout a Holiday Cookie.

Just a reminder of a show you can see in Orlando, free with regular admission:

I’m admittedly biased because I used to work there but I genuinely think SeaWorld does the Christmas stuff really well. The skating show is great, the nativity show isn’t for me but I can’t say it’s bad, the Rudolph area is nice and the decorations are well done especially the giant Christmas trees in their lake

I had the best time at Jollywood Nights. The actual best time. Danced at the tip top club had many treats saw all the shows and pretty much all the characters with little to no waits.

This is the best item by far:

I am nervous about all the positive reports because I wanted to stay low crowds for our visit next week. But in all seriousness, glad to hear you had a great time— would be a true delight to go to a holiday party that isn’t a 20-45m wait for everything.

Do you have a recommendation for which Glisten show to see and how early you need to be there?

I rolled up to I think the 1025 one and the sitting enforcement in the front really makes it available all night as most people don’t want to sit and they enforce it so if you don’t mind sitting you have your pick of the shows
