Hi Brittany!
Welcome to planDisney! Is there anything better than celebrating the most magical season of the year at
The Most Magical Place on Earth? There are so many festive events in addition to
Disney Jollywood Nights including
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. With so much to do, you'll want to make a list (and check it twice!) so you don't miss any of the fun!
Britany, Disney Jollywood Nights includes several entertainment options for Guests each night. While the party officially runs from 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM, tickets to this special event allow Guests to enter
Disney's Hollywood Studios as early as 6:00 PM. Nighttime spectaculars like
Fantasmic! are always subject to schedule changes or cancellations due to weather or other circumstances, but currently, Guests can expect to see Fantasmic! on party nights at 6:20 PM. This early time for Fantasmic! should mean that partygoers as well as Guests with regular theme park admission will have a chance to enjoy this popular show!
Cast Members usually begin allowing Guests to enter up to 90 minutes before the scheduled start time, so seating options may be limited or unavailable the closer you get to the show. If you have a regular admission ticket to Disney's Hollywood Studios that day, I'd encourage you to arrive early or consider reserving a
Fantasmic! Dining Package to get guaranteed VIP seating. For Guests attending the party that evening, I'd recommend being at the entrance to Hollywood Studios right at 6:00 PM and then heading straight to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. I have seen occasions where the show has reached capacity, so please keep that in mind when making your plans.
Brittany, I hope you have a holly, jolly time planning your visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you're hoping to grab tickets for either Disney Jollywood Nights or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, they both go on sale to the general public on July 10, but Guests of select Disney Resorts Collection hotels on party nights can access ticket sales beginning July 2. These
special-ticketed holiday parties do often sell out, so I suggest buying early!
If you have any other planning questions, please stop by to see us here again at planDisney - we're all ears!
Cheers,
Kristi
