Disney Jollywood Nights have changed quite a bit since it first debuted. Walt Disney World really listened to comments and concerns from guests to help make this a more magical experience. Last year, even more Disney characters joined the event, and fun, festive merchandise was available.

For this year, Disney introduces a great new character meet and greet, along with early access for party guests to enjoy Disney's Hollywood Studios before the event begins.

New Characters for Jollywood Nights

When Jollywood Nights first debuted in 2023, there were few characters at this event. Disney scrambled to add more characters later in the season, and this year they are finally delivering BIG in the character department.

A new meet and greet is coming this year with Miguel (Pixar's Coco) at Holiday Fiesta en la Calle in a new location near Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.

In Toy Story Land, guests can meet our favorite strawberry scented villain, Lotso from Toy Story 3, and the brand new this year, guests can meet Partysaurus Rex. This is one of my (Donna) kids' favorite Toy Story Toons, where Rex brings the party along with fellow bathtub pals.

Heading down Grand Avenue, guests can also meet Bing Bong from Inside Out. This is such a fun meet and greet!

Life Day at Galaxy's Edge

Many Star Wars fans have wondered why "Life Day" has not been celebrated more at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. During Jollywood Nights, guests can meet Chewbacca in his "Life Day" robe.
