Oh, the dread! We love it when Disney makes new announcements, and we might get distracted by the sparkling lights and Christmas trees. If you look a little closer, we see something we don’t like very much — a price increase.

Disney Holidays in Hollywood

Disney released ticket info for Jollywood Nights coming to Hollywood Studios. We were so excited to start planning our dates and tickets. While we’re very excited for this year’s event, we also got to see the ticket prices, and they’re not our favorite.

This year, tickets to Jollywood Nights range from $169 to $199. In 2025, tickets ranged from $159 to $199. That’s a $10 increase on the cheapest days. The party runs on select nights from November 7th to January 5th. It’s the first time it’s going through January!

But do tickets have more value this year? Last year, the party officially ran from 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM, but you could enter the park at 5:30 PM, letting you ride some extra rides, grab more snacks, and enjoy Hollywood Studios before it transforms into a party. It’s the same for 2026.

Sometimes there are some free gifts included, like an ornament or a pack of marshmallows, but for the most part, you’re still buying more things on top of your ticket price. From snacks to merchandise, all of these are additional costs you’ll want to factor in.

Extra costs!

We’re not exactly surprised by an increase, since we usually see some sort of increase in special event tickets and normal park tickets, but it’s always a bummer, especially when it doesn’t feel like there’s an increase in value. We are happy that the max price has stayed the same, so it’s just the minimum price that has increased.

Mike himself loved it!
