    We are staying at the Swan resort in November and are planning on going to Jollywood. I am wondering if there will be Disney transportation back to the resort after the party since the boats will no longer be running? Thanks for the help.

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Jason!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! Get ready for the trip of a lifetime because you are going to experience Disney during the "most wonderful time of the year" when the parks shimmer with Christmas MAGIC! Every corner feels like it’s bursting with cheer, and you are going to love soaking it all in.

    On top of everything, I am so excited that you will be able to experience Jollywood Nights, which is such a unique and dazzling event. Picture Hollywood Studios transformed into a glamorous holiday celebration with special shows, exclusive character meet-and-greets, and treats you won’t find anywhere else. The vibe is festive, jazzy, and just a little retro, making it a totally different kind of holiday party than anything else Mickey offers. You’ll enjoy shorter wait times for attractions, one-of-a-kind entertainment, and the chance to dress up and take in all the seasonal enchantment in style. It’s truly one of those “only at Disney” experiences that you’ll remember forever.

    Now, the big question is, how do you get back to the Swan after Jollywood? Since the FriendShip Boats won’t be running that late after the party, you will still have a few great options for getting back to your resort. The easiest and fastest (and honestly so fun) way is just to walk. It’s only about a 10 to 15-minute stroll from Hollywood Studios along the well-lit pathway, so you’ll be back in your room before you know it. In addition, there should be a Mears bus available to take you back to the Swan after the event. The very nice person I talked to at the Swan recommended that you call back about a month before your arrival to confirm that bus transportation will indeed be running that night.

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL night!
