The show is set to perform at multiple times throughout the evening, with performances scheduled for 8:15 pm, 9:15 pm, 10:20 pm, 11:15 pm, and 12:15 am.

Maybe I'll try it next year. I bought a ticket for it last year but mine get rained out. I mean REALLY rained out. I cancelled first but they ultimately cancelled the entire event for that night.

I went this past Saturday. We were more focused on the rides and we all had a good time and very short wait times for every ride, even being sold out. We would have stuck around for the late Muppets show in the BatB theater but it was getting cold out and we were tired after flying in that morning. I still think they need to add some sort of "free" snacks, whether it's cookies and cocoa/cider like MVMCP or soda/water and ice cream bars like an After Hours event. For the cost, the awful marshmallow on the way out is just cheap, especially when MVMCP gives cookies, drinks, and a nice ornament.

It will be interesting to see what happens. It was on the edge for this year, and it hasn't sold out many dates in comparison to Very Merry.

Looks like it is selling out, maybe it will stick around for next year.

I rolled up to I think the 1025 one and the sitting enforcement in the front really makes it available all night as most people don’t want to sit and they enforce it so if you don’t mind sitting you have your pick of the shows

December 21 is the next Jollywood Nights event date that is now sold out (as of the evening of November 22).

I am nervous about all the positive reports because I wanted to stay low crowds for our visit next week. But in all seriousness, glad to hear you had a great time— would be a true delight to go to a holiday party that isn’t a 20-45m wait for everything. Do you have a recommendation for which Glisten show to see and how early you need to be there?

I had the best time at Jollywood Nights. The actual best time. Danced at the tip top club had many treats saw all the shows and pretty much all the characters with little to no waits. This is the best item by far:

I’m admittedly biased because I used to work there but I genuinely think SeaWorld does the Christmas stuff really well. The skating show is great, the nativity show isn’t for me but I can’t say it’s bad, the Rudolph area is nice and the decorations are well done especially the giant Christmas trees in their lake

We actually enjoyed nearly all the Jollywood snacks. And all the ones we got were snack credits on the DDP. Kermit shake Turkey turnover Buffalo chicken spring rolls Chicken empanadas and street corn Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake Cauliflower tacos Only thing we didn’t like was Taco ‘bout a Holiday Cookie.

I like the skating show, kind of sad the main complaint I'm seeing about it is that there are no characters in it, its probably the first mid budget show with little ip in a while.

Yuca con Chicharrón and the duffy brownie were to die for! I'm not joking when I say it, the Yuca was probably the best quick service food I ever had at WDW resort. It was that good, and it really reminded me of Disneyland. The coca cola brownie is just a fantastic desert, the acidity from the coke pairs very well with it. the mexican hot chocolate cheese cake was decent and I say skip the kermit shake, really wasn't that special imo.
