    The short version

    The Jollywood Nights 2026 food list is out. Jollywood Nights runs on select nights from Nov 7, 2026 to Jan 5, 2027 at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's a separately ticketed after-hours party; tickets are at DisneyWorld.com/Jollywood. Disney's foodie guide is out, the weather plan is out, and the keepsake is revealed.

    • Food: dozens of items, many new. No prices were published, so check the mobile-order menu before you stand in line.
    • Rain: the party generally keeps going. Some shows can be cancelled and replaced. Disney's weather notice doesn't cover refunds or ticket changes, so ask Disney before you buy.
    • Keepsake: a free metal, wreath-shaped ornament with Chip and Dale, handed out as you leave.
    • Tickets: at least two nights are already gone (Nov 7 and Nov 14 per MouseDining's Nov 3 newsletter). These are third-party reports, not independently confirmed live Disney availability. Check Disney's ticket page before buying.

    Prices and availability change. This post reports what Disney and the news outlets published; confirm before you buy.

    If it rains: what disney says

    Per Disney's weather notice (reported by WDW News Today, Nov 3):

    • The event generally continues in most bad weather. Check the attractions map for what's running.
    • Some shows can be cancelled. "Glisten!" and "Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club" may be cancelled in some or all performances. Midnight showings of "Disney Holidays in Hollywood" and an added "Characters at The Magic of Disney Animation" would take their place.
    • Still planned: the "What's This? Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along." "Sunset Seasons Greetings" and "Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!" may still be offered.
    • Characters move indoors for many meet-and-greets (Chip 'n' Dale inside Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, the Disney Animation characters inside The Magic of Disney Animation); some stay outside.
    • Some dining locations and gift shops stay open.
    • What the notice doesn't say: refunds, rain checks or ticket changes. Ask Disney before you buy, and check the My Disney Experience app that day.

    The free keepsake

    Every guest gets a complimentary metal, wreath-shaped ornament. Chip and Dale sit at the top beside a golden bow, with colorful ornaments around the wreath and a film strip at the bottom carrying the Jollywood Nights and Hollywood Studios logos. You pick it up at the park entrance/exit as you leave. (Source: WDW News Today, Nov 3.)

    How i'd plan the night (dad version)

    1. Eat before you're hungry, and eat one real meal. The list is mostly snacks and drinks. If you want a sit-down, Disney lists reservations as recommended only at Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby. Set a MouseDining alert if you can't find a time.
    2. Pick three must-haves. Disney gave no prices, so open the mobile-order menu first and decide before you're in a line.
    3. Split the sweets. Brookies, churros and croissant beignets are made to share.
    4. Have a rain layer. A light poncho in the bag is cheaper than a souvenir one at the shop. See my packing list.
    5. Grab the ornament on the way out, not on the way in. It's handed out as you leave.
    6. Not sure which party? My Jollywood Nights vs. Christmas Party comparison covers the differences, and the which-night guide tracks Christmas Party sellouts.
