Disney's Hollywood Studios has recently filed a series of permits, suggesting potential upgrades that could be in preparation for the new skating show debuting at Disney Jollywood Nights in 2024.

The permits outline plans for upgrading the electrical and audio systems in the area directly in front of the Chinese Theatre, where the new skating show will be held.

While Disney has kept most details about the new skating show under wraps, they have teased that guests can look forward to witnessing "the grace and skill of international champion skaters in an awe-inspiring twist on the traditional ice show." 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.

Didn't they sell out last year even with the disastrous first night? The skating show was added to Jollywood before tickets went on sale, so, I don't see the cause and effect that you're seeing.

They keep boasting all of these special characters, but it's pretty much characters you can meet anytime. Fineas and Ferb were "special" appearances for the H2O Glow party. The Pixar dance party lists characters you can meet any other day in Hollywood Studios. I wish they brought out actual unique characters, like the Alberto and Luca from the DL Pixarfest. That being said, the Kermit and Piggy show as well as the nightmare sing along sound like top notch entertainment. How was the Tip Top Club last year?

I was really hoping they'd add a bit more to this event in the vein of ride overlays. You have Rise, Smuggler's Run, Star Tours, Runaway Railway, and Toy Storia Mania that are all screen-based rides that should be able to be switched to a holiday theme fairly easy (I know there are costs to make the overlays). I was really hoping to hear they'd be having some holiday overlays for Jollywood this year.

Anyone else get the feeling tickets haven’t been selling that well?

I'm probably reading into this too much but in one of the photos posted on Instagram for jingle bell jingle bam it has large shell fireworks. Are they coming back this year or is it just an old photo for this.

Oh yeah, I grew up on that with a frozen vegetable medley mixed in. Hamburger cheese noodles, we called it.

Will it have ground beef in it? NGL Mac and cheese + ground beef is a staple around here lol

Because they know people will book it anyway. They can serve standard mac & cheese and people will still book for the "exclusivity" of it.

Not if you attended any of last years dumpster fire "events" Take the money and run.

It is a little bizarre that ADR slots opened up but you can't see the menu yet.
