Disney Jollywood Nights will introduce a new lounge, additional Monsters, Inc. character appearances and changes to its “Glisten!” skating show when the separately ticketed holiday event returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2026.
New for this year, the Checkin’ It Twice Lounge will open in Animation Courtyard. Disney says the space will offer specialty beverages, a live DJ and entertainment throughout the evening. Menu details have not yet been announced.
In Pixar Plaza, Mike Wazowski will return during the event. Guests will also be able to meet George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc. for the first time at Jollywood Nights.
“Glisten!,” the holiday skating show staged in front of the Chinese Theater, is also returning. Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Genie are set to appear in the production for the first time alongside the show’s skaters.
