Disney Jollywood Nights guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be limited to three photos per group at each formal character meet-and-greet during the 2026 event, according to reports from the party’s opening period.
The new procedure allows one group photo and two individual photos with each character. Cast members are informing guests of the policy at the meet-and-greet locations, according to Instagram accounts cited by Mickey Visit.
Jollywood Nights is a five-hour, separately ticketed holiday event at Walt Disney World, where rare characters are a major draw. The 2026 lineup includes 23 character greetings, with 14 characters exclusive to the event, Mickey Visit reported. Among them are Bing Bong, Rex, José Carioca, Panchito, Phineas, Ferb, Scrooge McDuck and Duffy the Disney Bear in a Santa outfit.
The photo limit does not apply to roaming characters at the Pixar Disco or the Grand Avenue Dance Party. Pixar characters at the disco, along with Goofy and Pluto at the dance party, do not use a traditional queue.
