Aloha Dara, it's great to welcome you back here at planDisney!
It looks like you're gearing up for the fun times here in at
Walt Disney World over the holidays and while it can bet quite busy in the theme parks with the extra hustle and bustle around Christmas, I do like how
attending one of the specially-ticketed events can help you get on more of the rides and attractions with fewer crowds in the mix. I got the chance to
check out some of the newest offerings at Disney Jollywood Nights when it debuted last year, and am happy to help you plan ahead for a great night:
- Since the theme parks do get very busy during the very popular week of your visit, here's hoping that you've already purchased your tickets to Disney Jollywood Nights - especially since it looks like you're aiming for its final evening this year. You'll be happy to hear that you can indeed enter Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier, as guests with tickets will be allowed entry from 6:00 P.M. onwards. Last year as the Cast Members scanned our tickets, we were provided with a wristband as well as a snazzy event lanyard to wear after we had checked in!
- From my observations that evening, folks were already looking dapper and dressed to the nines as they formed a line in a designated area near the entrance to Disney's Hollywood Studios, with Cast Members directing everyone along with event signage. (Entering early was especially crucial for folks looking to spot some rare characters like Santa Duffy and in my experience, as we got in line the estimated wait time almost immediately sprang up to over an hour!)
What helped a lot was staying updated on the
Disney Parks Blog as well as other guests' experiences from the first few nights to plan ahead for what you'd like to check out, as this is definitely one event where you'll want to make the most of your time!
Come back to us here at planDisney as often as you'd like Dara, for help with strategies as you prepare to spend the most spirited season here at Walt Disney World Resort!
May your nights be Jolly and full of festive fun!
Prince
