UK visitors can book Jollywood Nights tickets through a UK-based vendor such as FloridaTix, paying in pounds with no VPN required, or through Attraction Tickets as a second option. Tickets are now on general sale to everyone as of 16th July 2026, with UK vendor prices running from £147 up to £173 per adult depending on the date.

How to Book Jollywood Nights From the UK: Quick Navigation

What Is Jollywood Nights?

Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed evening event at Disney's Hollywood Studios, one of the four main theme parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando. It runs on select nights each November and December, now stretching into January too, swapping the park's usual daytime feel for an Old Hollywood glamour theme built around festive shows, character meets and shorter queues.

A Jollywood Nights ticket gets you into Hollywood Studios from 5:30pm, well before the party itself properly starts at 7:30pm, and the event runs through to 12:30am. You don't need a separate Hollywood Studios day ticket alongside it, since the event ticket covers your park entry for the evening. That early entry perk won't count for much if you're already using a 7 or 14-day Disney Magic Ticket, since you'll have unlimited theme park access across the whole ticket period anyway, but it's a useful bonus if you're not.

It's often compared to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, and the two do share some DNA, but the tone is different. MVMCP leans into traditional North Pole Christmas. Jollywood Nights goes for a 1930s Hollywood party dressed up for the holidays, with ice skating, jazz and a fair bit more adult-leaning entertainment mixed in among the family stuff. If you're trying to pick one over the other, that difference in tone usually settles it rather than price.

How Much Do Jollywood Nights Tickets Cost In 2026?

With tickets now on general sale, we've got confirmed pound pricing to work from rather than a rough estimate. Here's what a UK vendor is currently charging per adult, night by night:

Date Price Per Person
Saturday 7th, Saturday 14th November £156
Monday 16th November £147
Saturday 21st November £165
Monday 23rd November £169
Saturday 28th November £173
Saturday 5th, Monday 7th December £169
Saturday 12th, Monday 14th, Saturday 19th, Monday 21st, Wednesday 23rd December £173
Sunday 3rd January 2027 £169
Tuesday 5th January 2027 £165

UK vendor prices as of 16th July 2026. These figures don't yet reflect any active discount code - see the section below for that.

There isn't a big swing between cheapest and priciest here - Monday 16th November at £147 is your best bet if cost is the main driver, and most of the December run and the busier November Saturdays sit close together at the £169-£173 mark. That's a narrower spread than you'll find on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets, so picking a Jollywood Nights date can lean more on personal preference and less on chasing the cheapest evening.

If you'd rather book directly through Disney with a VPN, prices are set in dollars and run from $169 to $199 per adult plus tax depending on the date - roughly £130 to £150 at current exchange rates, though that's only a guide since the rate on the day you book is what actually matters. Children aged 3 to 9 get $10 off per ticket at every tier direct from Disney, under 3s get in free, and anyone 10 or over pays the full adult rate. You can also see the official terms on Disney's own Jollywood Nights event page.

Keep in mind this is a limited capacity event. Disney sells a fixed number of tickets per night rather than letting numbers creep up, so once a date sells out that's the end of it - you won't be able to turn up on the night and buy your way in.

2026 Jollywood Nights Dates

For 2026 there are 15 event nights in total, running from 7th November 2026 through to 5th January 2027 - the first time the event has run into the new year.

November 7th, 14th, 16th, 21st, 23rd, 28th
December 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 19th, 21st, 23rd
January (2027) 3rd, 5th

Almost every date falls on a Saturday or a Monday, with 23rd December being the one Wednesday in the mix. Wednesday party nights tend to be rarer and sit right before Christmas, so that particular date is one to book early if it's the one you want.

For the full show lineup, character appearances and which rides run each night, the Jollywood Nights 2026 dates and shows guide covers all of that in detail. This guide focuses purely on getting your tickets booked from the UK.

When Do Jollywood Nights Tickets Go On Sale?

Disney has used the same two-tier sale pattern for Jollywood Nights the last few seasons, and 2026 followed the same shape. Guests staying at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, or Shades of Green could buy from 9th July 2026. Everyone else has been able to buy since 16th July 2026, so all 15 dates are now open for booking whichever route you're using.

If you're not staying on Disney property or at one of those partner hotels, the earlier resort guest window never applied to you, so there was no upside to waiting around on 9th July - 16th July is the date that matters.

Missing the first day isn't the disaster it might feel like. Based on how previous seasons have gone, most dates stay available for a few weeks after going on sale, with the busiest December weekends and the new January dates likely to move quickest given how new they are for 2026.

How To Book Jollywood Nights Tickets From The UK

Disney restricts certain ticket and event purchases on its US website for guests outside the US, which affects Jollywood Nights along with several other event tickets. That means you can't simply visit Disney's site from a UK browser, add a Jollywood Nights ticket to your basket, and check out the way you would with standard park tickets. Here are the three routes that actually work.

Option 1 - Book Through A UK Ticket Vendor

This is the easiest starting point for most UK visitors. FloridaTix is a well established UK agent that carries Walt Disney World event tickets including Jollywood Nights, and it's the option we'd recommend checking first. You pay in pounds, use familiar payment methods, and get the benefit of UK consumer protection rather than relying on a US-based purchase.

Attraction Tickets is a solid second option if you want to compare pricing or FloridaTix doesn't have the date you're after.

Option 2 - Use A VPN

A VPN makes your browser appear to be located in the US, which gets around the regional restriction on Disney's site. If booking direct through Disney's own US website matters to you, particularly if you wanted to buy on the 9th July resort guest date and weren't eligible for it any other way, there's a full step-by-step in the how to use a VPN for Walt Disney World bookings guide. It works, but it's more effort than Option 1, and the price difference rarely makes up for the hassle once you factor in the exchange rate a UK vendor applies.

Option 3 - Call Disney Directly

You can call Disney's UK line on 0800 08 50 582 to book your party tickets over the phone. It's not the quickest option but it's perfectly legit - you'll be booking direct with Disney without needing a VPN or a third-party site. Ticket prices may still be higher than Option 1 depending on the exchange rate.

Is There A Jollywood Nights Discount Code?

Yes - use the code NEWSITE10 at checkout via FloridaTix for 10% off the standard ticket price. The UK vendor prices listed earlier in this guide are shown before that discount has been applied, so the amount you actually pay will come in lower once the code is entered at checkout.

Even without a code, the exchange rate on the day can sometimes make a UK vendor the cheaper option outright compared with booking direct in dollars, so it's worth checking both before you commit to anything.

Which Jollywood Nights Date Should You Book?

With 15 dates spread across three months, picking one comes down to balancing price, crowds and how the date lines up with your own travel plans.

  • Early November (7th-16th) sits at the cheaper end of the pricing range and tends to have the lightest crowds of the whole season, since the wider resort hasn't hit peak holiday crowds yet. The trade-off is that most English school half terms wrap up in late October, so these dates rarely line up with school holidays and suit couples or families able to travel in term time.
  • Late November (21st-28th) is a reasonable middle ground. Keep in mind that American Thanksgiving falls on the last Thursday of November, which brings a lot of domestic visitors to Walt Disney World even though the party itself runs at reduced capacity. The wider resort can feel busier around that week.
  • December dates edge towards the pricier end of the range as Christmas approaches, and the atmosphere builds along with it. 23rd December is the one Wednesday in the schedule and, going by previous seasons, tends to be among the first to sell out.
  • The new January dates (3rd and 5th) are worth a look if you're travelling just after Christmas. They fall before most UK schools return in the new year, which makes them a useful option for families wanting to avoid pulling children out of school without missing the event altogether.
  • UK school Christmas holidays usually start somewhere between 19th and 23rd December depending on your local authority, so check your own dates before assuming 21st or 23rd will work for you.

For the best mix of cost and lighter crowds, early to mid-November tends to be the sweet spot. If atmosphere matters more than budget, December or the new January dates are worth the extra cost, just go in expecting a busier night.

Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Jollywood Nights

A handful of things worth knowing before you go, especially given what it costs to get to Florida from the UK in the first place.

  • Make full use of the 5:30pm entry. Regular day guests are asked to leave the park by 7pm on party nights, and a lot of them know it, so they tend to squeeze in as many rides as possible in that final couple of hours. The window between 5:30pm and 7:30pm can be busier than you'd expect as a result, so don't assume it's automatically quiet just because the party hasn't officially started.
  • Bring a layer for the outdoor shows. Glisten! and Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! both take place outdoors, and standing still for a 20 minute show on a December evening in Orlando is noticeably cooler than wandering round the park during the day. November evenings can still catch people out too, since daytime warmth doesn't always carry through after dark.
  • Book Jazzy Holidays ahead if you want it. Space at the Hollywood Brown Derby is limited and advance reservations are recommended, so this isn't one to leave until you're inside the park.
  • MagicBand+ is a nice extra, not an essential one. If you've already got one, it syncs with light effects during Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! If you don't, you're not missing out on anything the show needs to work.
  • Queues tend to drop off later in the evening. Once the main shows have finished and the earlier crowd starts heading back to their hotels, the last hour or so before midnight can be some of the quietest riding of the whole night.

For more on keeping the wider cost of a Walt Disney World trip down, the Walt Disney World deals and discounts guide for UK visitors is a good place to start.

Is Jollywood Nights Worth It For UK Visitors?

By the time flights, hotels and standard park tickets are accounted for, Walt Disney World is already a significant spend for a UK family, and adding an evening event on top is a fair thing to think twice about. Whether it's worth it tends to come down to what you want from the evening rather than the ticket price alone.

It often makes sense if you've done Hollywood Studios before during the day and want to see the park differently, if shorter queues on the big rides are a real priority, or if the Old Hollywood theme and adult-leaning entertainment appeals more than a traditional Christmas party. The new January dates are also a decent fit if your trip runs into the new year and you'd rather not squeeze everything into a pre-Christmas visit.

It sometimes makes less sense on a first visit if you haven't covered Hollywood Studios properly in daylight yet, since a paid evening add-on before you've finished the main park feels like doing things out of order. Families with younger children who won't manage a midnight finish, or anyone working to a tighter budget, might get more value putting that money towards an extra day ticket elsewhere in the resort instead.

How To Book Jollywood Nights From The UK: Your Questions Answered

Can UK visitors book Jollywood Nights tickets without a VPN?
Yes. Booking through a UK vendor such as FloridaTix or Attraction Tickets doesn't require one, and neither does calling Disney's UK line on 0800 08 50 582. A VPN is only needed if you want to buy through Disney's own US website.

How much do Jollywood Nights tickets cost in 2026?
Through UK vendors, prices range from £147 to £173 per adult depending on the date, before any discount code. Direct from Disney, tickets range from $169 to $199 per adult plus tax, with children aged 3 to 9 getting $10 off per ticket at each tier. It's worth checking live UK pricing rather than relying on a rough conversion.

Is there a discount code for Jollywood Nights tickets?
Yes. The code NEWSITE10 gives 10% off the standard ticket price when booking through FloridaTix. The prices published in this guide are shown before that discount is applied.

When do Jollywood Nights 2026 tickets go on sale?
Guests staying at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, or Shades of Green could buy from 9th July 2026. General sale opened on 16th July 2026 for everyone else, and tickets are on sale to all now.

Is there a UK phone line to book Jollywood Nights tickets?
Yes. You can call Disney's UK line on 0800 08 50 582 to book directly, without needing a VPN. It's not the fastest route, and pricing may vary depending on the exchange rate, but it's a legitimate option if you'd rather book with Disney directly than through a UK vendor.

Is Jollywood Nights included in a regular Hollywood Studios ticket?
No. Jollywood Nights requires a separately purchased ticket and isn't covered by standard park admission or a Disney Magic Ticket. The Jollywood Nights ticket does cover your park entry for that evening though, so you don't need a day ticket on top of it.
