By Leave a Comment

Holiday parties at Disney World are already magical, but this year one is letting you in on the fun even earlier.

Jollywood Nights

Disney’s Jollywood Nights is returning for the 2025 holiday season, and while we’re already excited for the music, snacks, and rare characters, there’s a big change coming to the schedule. In 2024, guests with event tickets could step into Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting at 6 PM. This year, you’ll get in 30 minutes earlier — and if you know Disney like I know Disney, that half hour can be gold. Let’s break down what’s new for the 2025 season, including this fresh early-entry perk.

By 8 Comments

Disney just brought back one of its biggest hotel perks—and fans are already frustrated.

Early entry sign!

Early Entry is sticking around for 2026 at Disney World, which sounds like great news for resort guests… until you realize it’s still only 30 minutes.

It’s been almost two months since the official closure of Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This quirky, kitschy section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land (with Disney’s first suspended roller coaster!).

While the land is behind construction walls, you can see the demolition progress and construction depending on where you stand. During a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we noticed that one building is now COMPLETELY gone, so we’re officially saying goodbye now.

This Is One of the Best Things To Do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and You Can’t Change My Mind

Fantasmic! Billboard

I’ve rope-dropped Tower of Terror more times than I can count, eaten my weight in Carrot Cake Cookies from Trolley Car Café, and yes, I remember when The Great Movie Ride was the beating heart of the park.
