Disney Jollywood Nights
Guests can expect a special greeting from some beloved characters during a Disney Jollywood Nights-exclusive “Nightmare Before Christmas” sing-along this holiday season at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We also learned a bit more about the previously-announced soiree near The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
Guests at Jollywood Nights can experience a special sing-along at the Hyperion Theater — and not just any sing-along, but one themed to Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas!” The special stage show will feature appearances by both Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie, and will take place exclusively during this hard ticket event.
Meanwhile we now also know a bit more about the special soiree coming to the foot of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Specifically, the event will replicate the feeling of the Tip-Top Club from the ride’s backstory. Custom food and craft cocktails will be served, and the goal is to make guests feel as if they’re both in the modern day and the Twilight Zone at the same time.
Of course, there’s plenty of other amazing offerings coming to Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which you can read about below. Let us know what you think in the comments!
