What to Order at Disney Jollywood Nights, According to One Review

Disney Jollywood Nights has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the holiday season, with select event dates available through Jan. 5. The separately ticketed event combines holiday entertainment, character meet-and-greets and a menu of limited-time food and drinks.

In a review based on the event’s first night, WDW Info singled out several menu items as standouts. The recommended drink was The Bauble & Bright at Tune-In Lounge, a $13 tequila cocktail with Grand Marnier, white cranberry juice, glitter simple syrup and lime juice, served with cranberries in a souvenir cup.

For savory food, the review favored the $5.49 Street Corn Chicken Empanada at ABC Commissary, topped with cilantro-lime cream, Cotija and chili-lime seasoning. It also recommended the $6.79 Holiday Turkey Popover at Fairfax Fare, filled with roasted turkey and mashed potatoes and topped with gravy and cranberry chutney. The reviewer found the popover bread dry but called the filling substantial and holiday-like.

The $4.99 Sleigh Bell Brussels Sprouts at Backlot Express made the recommended list as well. The side comes with bourbon-onion jam and crispy onions. For dessert, the reviewer’s top pick was ABC Commissary’s $5.79 Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake, featuring chocolate cookie streusel, cinnamon-chocolate cheesecake, spiced whipped cream, cinnamon and mini marshmallows.

The review advised passing on the $9.50 Coquito at ABC Commissary, describing it as overly thick with muted flavors; the $6.49 Jolly Jam Slider at Backlot Express; the $6.79 Yuletide Ham Popover at Fairfax Fare; the $6.79 Hickory Holiday Mac at Backlot Express; and the $9.79 Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae at Hollywood Scoops. Those assessments reflect one reviewer’s experience and preferences.
