Eve Chen- Disney Jollywood Nights is a specially ticketed after-hours event at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Walt Disney World is bringing back some jolly.
Disney Jollywood Nights, a specially ticketed holiday event launched last year, will return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select dates between Nov. 9 and Dec. 21. The limited-capacity event is held after hours like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom.
But don't go to Disney Jollywood Nights expecting Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in another setting. From theming to audience to exclusive experiences, the after-hours events are as different as the parks themselves. (Read USA TODAY's review of the event by clicking here.)
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will return too, on select nights from Nov. 8 until Dec. 20. Meanwhile, EPCOT park will welcome back its popular International Festival of the Holidays, "where visitors can explore global holiday traditions, savor seasonal flavors from around the world, and enjoy heartwarming performances starting on Nov. 29 through Dec. 30," Disney announced.
What happens at Disney World at closing?We stayed late to find out.
How much are Disney Jollywood Nights tickets?
Disney Jollywood Night ticket prices remain the same as last year, ranging from $159 to $179 for guests ages 10 and up. Prices vary by date.
As with Mickey’s Very Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights are not included with standard admission and guests with regular tickets will need to leave the park before the event starts.
The event runs from 7:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. at Hollywood Studios, but guests may enter the park as early as 6 p.m. with their Jollywood ticket.
How much are Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets?
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tickets range from $169 to $219 this year, depending on the date. That's up from $159 to $199 last year.
The event runs from 7 p.m. until midnight at Magic Kingdom, but guests may begin entering the park as early as 4 p.m. with their party ticket.
Is EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays worth it?
Unlike Disney Jollywood Nights and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays occurs during regular park hours. All of the added entertainment, including the fan-favorite Candlelight Processional, is included with standard admission. Of course, the holiday season is one of the pricier times to visit Disney parks, but for many guests, the value added is worth it.
One-day, one-park tickets to EPCOT start at $159 for guests age 10 and up during this year's International Festival of the Holidays. Prices vary by date and park.
