If you were hoping to be at Jollywood Nights on opening night this year, you may be out of luck. November 7 is showing sold out, and the party is still almost four weeks away.

Saturday, November 7, the first night of Disney Jollywood Nights 2026 at Disney's Hollywood Studios, now appears as sold out on Walt Disney World's ticket calendar, as reported Sunday, October 11, by WDWMagic, BlogMickey and WDW News Today. BlogMickey says it is the first 2026 date to sell out and the only one so far, with every other night still available.

How this year compares

Opening night has sold out every year the event has run, now four years in a row, but the timing has swung widely:

  • 2023: the first-ever opening night (November 11) was already sold out when WDW News Today reported it on August 27, 2023, about 11 weeks ahead.
  • 2024: opening night did not sell out until the day before, according to WDWMagic and BlogMickey.
  • 2025: opening night (November 8) sold out on October 18, 21 days out, per WDWMagic.
  • 2026: November 7 was showing sold out by October 11, 27 days ahead of the party.

WDWMagic puts this year's sellout "a full six days earlier than 2025's." WDW News Today goes further, saying it came "earlier than any previous years," but that does not hold up against 2023, when the debut's opening night was gone by late August. BlogMickey calls 2023 "a rocky debut" for the event but counts six sold-out dates that year, against four in 2024 and eight in 2025, the season it calls the event's most successful.

What is still on sale

The remaining 2026 and 2027 dates are November 14, 16, 21, 23 and 28, December 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21 and 23, and January 3 and 5. Prices are set by date:

  • Cheapest: Monday, November 16, at $169.
  • $179: Saturday, November 14, the same price opening night sold at.
  • Priciest: $199 on November 28 and December 12, 14, 19, 21 and 23.

Prices are per ticket, plus tax. Children ages 3 to 9 get $10 off, and Disney Vacation Club Members and Annual Passholders get a $10 discount of their own on any event night. Tickets are sold online or through Disney Central at 407-934-7639.

Disney itself warns that "Disney Jollywood Nights is a limited capacity event, so make sure you purchase tickets well ahead of your travel dates."

Which nights could go next

Last year is a useful guide. WDWMagic's 2025 timeline had November 22 selling out the day before the event, December 6 going on November 26, the December 22 finale going on December 8, and December 13 and 20 both gone by December 12, leaving December 17 as the only date still available as of December 12. WDWMagic thinks other 2026 dates, peak December weekends in particular, are likely to sell out earlier than they did in 2025, and it flags November 14 and 16 as early dates worth a close look.

The party itself

This year's party has 15 select nights between November 7 and January 5, the first season to stretch into January. Guests can enter from 5:30 p.m., and the event runs 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. New for 2026, as we reported, are the Checkin' It Twice Lounge in Animation Courtyard with a live DJ, meet-and-greets with George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc., a first for the event, and Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Genie joining the "Glisten!" skating show.

Did you get in for opening night, or are you eyeing a cheaper November date before those go too?
