🎬 36 Days to Go: Holidays at Hollywood Studios!

Magic Kingdom may get most of the holiday hype, but it’s not the only park that transforms into a festive wonderland! Hollywood Studios—yes, the one that usually ranks last on my list of favorite parks—gets its own magical makeover, and this year, it’s stepping into the spotlight with its very own holiday party: Jollywood Nights.

I’ll admit, I haven’t experienced Jollywood Nights yet, but it’s officially on my bucket list. After all, you can’t judge a park until you’ve seen it in all its seasonal glory, right?

🎄 Holiday Cheer Beyond the Party

Even if you’re not attending Jollywood Nights, there’s still plenty of holiday magic to enjoy throughout the park:

🧸 Toy Story Land Gets Festive

Toy Story Land is decked out with “larger than life” seasonal decorations that bring a playful twist to the holidays. I can’t quite recall every detail from last year, but I’m excited to see it all again soon!

❄️ Frozen Sing-Along with a Holiday Twist

If you love “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration,” it’s worth revisiting during the holidays. The show gets a festive finale featuring—no, not Sven—everyone’s favorite snowman, Olaf!

🍽️ Holiday Dining at Hollywood & Vine

Make a reservation at Hollywood & Vine for a cheerful holiday meal with Minnie and friends. It’s a jolly way to enjoy some character magic while indulging in seasonal flavors.

🌟 Park-Wide Holiday Magic

Hollywood Studios doesn’t hold back when it comes to holiday décor. Traditional decorations appear seemingly overnight, adding warmth and sparkle to every corner of the park. And don’t miss the Hollywood Tower Hotel—aka Tower of Terror—which comes alive with dazzling holiday projections that dance across its façade.

🌙 The Magic of Nightfall

On my last Christmas trip to Walt Disney World, we left Hollywood Studios around 6 PM. But this year, I’m determined to stay after dark. I have a theory: everything at Disney looks better at night. With twinkling lights, glowing projections, and a festive atmosphere, Hollywood Studios might just surprise me—and climb a few spots on my favorites list.

Whether you’re a die-hard Magic Kingdom fan or a Hollywood Studios skeptic like me, the holidays bring out the best in every corner of Walt Disney World. Stay tuned as we count down the days and explore more festive fun across the parks!
