Disney Jollywood Nights is set to dazzle guests with a brand-new entertainment offering, an event-exclusive skating show. This new show, “Glisten!”, promises to be a stunning skating spectacular that will transport visitors to a winter wonderland right in the heart of Florida.
Disney Jollywood Nights returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for its second year in 2024. This separately ticketed holiday event runs on 13 select nights from November 9 to December 21, offering guests a five-hour celebration filled with exclusive entertainment and festive experiences.
New Disney Jollywood Nights’ Skating Show: “Glisten!”
“Glisten!” will take place on Hollywood Boulevard, transforming the iconic street into a magical ice rink. International champion skaters will perform breathtaking routines set to a vibrant holiday soundtrack. The show will feature both original songs and beloved Disney classics like “Be Our Guest” and “When You Wish Upon A Star.”
Guests attending Disney Jollywood Nights will have multiple opportunities to catch this spectacular show. “Glisten!” will be performed each evening at 8:15 PM, 9:15 PM, 10:30 PM, 11:15 PM and 12:15 AM.
The Chinese Theater, home to Mickey & Mickey’s Runaway Railway, will light up with colorful holiday projections. Disney has shared a sneak peek of those projections, as seen above in a behind-the-scenes video. The 2023 Disney Jollywood Nights event was criticized for not offering guests enough to justify the event’s price, and Disney has continued to add entertainment and character meet and greets to address the issue.
Things To Do at Disney Jollywood Nights
Disney Jollywood Nights 2024 offers a variety of entertainment options beyond the new “Glisten!” ice skating show. Two live stage shows will captivate guests: “Disney Holidays in Hollywood” and “Tim Burton’s THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Sing-Along.” The former celebrates the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown during the holiday season, while the latter invites guests to join in singing their favorite tunes from the beloved Halloween-Christmas classic. As night falls, the sky will light up with “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” a fireworks and projection show. Featuring lasers, pyrotechnics, and even elves, the show is set to perform at 10 p.m. each event night.
Character meet and greets are a highlight of Disney Jollywood Nights, with over 20 unique experiences available. Guests can encounter rare characters like Baloo or King Louie from “The Jungle Book” near Echo Lake. Other special character appearances include Santa Claus, decked out in his Hollywood best, and seasonal versions of favorite Disney characters. While the full character lineup is subject to change, these exclusive meet and greets offer guests the chance to create magical holiday memories with some of Disney’s most beloved personalities in festive attire.
