News Disney Jollywood Nights - Disney's Hollywood Studios Holiday Season ticketed event
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I think it what theyre billing it as, basically multiple mini parties for adults, sounds great for my wife and I but I'm unsure about our two kids.We're interested in the soiree, Muppets show, and Nightmare Before Christmas singalong. If just two of us then, yeah, I think there are enough differentiators and it'd be fun for two of us to hang out. But for four us? I just don't know. The character experiences are either ones we've experienced or that my family doesn't care about (like Phineas and Ferb).
It's unclear how much of the unique stuff will be upcharged, like the Brown Debry thing and Hollywood Tower Hotel soiree, both both are referred to as "events." 4 hours here vs. 5 at MK, no included snacks nor drinks. No parade nor special fireworks (Jingle Bell Jingle Bam, something that was already for everyone, isn't special enough to hide behind a paywall). Nothing announced to pull people into Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land, crowds will be unbalanced and heavy where the limited experiences are located.
I really want to love the event. I hope it does really well, but I'd need to buy tickets to the most expensive date and because it's the third ever I'd need to take a leap of faith this date will likely sell out before reviews of the first event. I was at WDW for the first Villains After Hours and passed for similar reasons, and in hindsight it was a great event I was never able to subsequently experience.

I can understand why the after-hour events (billed as low waits, and empty parks) are popular with folks and I think the entertainment being offered is interesting... just questioning the price tag. I feel like it can be really popular if they offer to everyone else for free, and then upcharge some of the more unique offerings like the lounge/dessert parties.

Those VIP overlays are ugly. What were you all thinking? Trying to sell your event with characters guests can meet during DHS daily ops, is truly a WDW move. If people wanted to meet Powerline Max, they already have. He was at Disneyland’s hard ticket in the Fandaze overlay and he was out at Studios for the longest time across from Muppets.
I’m sure you’ve spent time working on the stage shows. No one doubts your desire for quality entertainment and possibly, your hands are tied-but please stop trying to make it like guests will spend $179 to meet Powerline Max.

Did anyone else catch the comment on GMA that this event is “for adults only”? Clearly that’s not true, given that we have active ticket sales underway without that restriction being stated. But very odd that they would state that to such a national audience.

I saw that too. Synergy! lol
Yep I was going to mention this. Strangely enough, the video was then pulled. I don't think that was the intended message.
There will be a walk-up list in use for Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby - see below for details. Disney says The Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club will have limited capacity, but did not indicate a walk-up list will be used.

It will be in the courtyard.

Imagine spending the money for the extra ticket just to have all availability for the Jazz event sell out within 2.1s to those that have gotten through the gate before you.

Is none of the food included? I’ve never paid for a party without some food included…
Doesn't sound like it.
"Food and beverages are available for purchase at Disney Jollywood Nights, and are not included with your event ticket."

Charge $179... only for people to realize they need to spend an additional $60+ on food/beverages to feel like they actually participated in the event's exclusive experiences?
