Well, this is an interesting warning we spotted ahead of a popular Disney World holiday event!
Disney World is known for going all-out for the holiday season! One way guests can get in the spirit is by attending one of the exclusive Christmas-themed events Disney hosts at the parks after hours. While Magic Kingdom is home to the classic Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has its own holiday event called Disney Jollywood Nights.
Disney Jollywood Nights is a 5-hour, separately ticketed event that takes place in Disney’s Hollywood Studios after the park closes to regular day guests.
As with typical Disney World after hours events, the party offers guests time in the park with limited capacity. That gives them time to experience some of the park’s most popular attractions with lower wait times and take advantage of the exclusive event entertainment, including live shows, character experiences, and more!
In keeping with the park’s theme, the decor and overall vibe of the event are inspired by Hollywood glamour, and guests are encouraged to dress in their holiday best — but there is a caveat!
The Jollywood Nights event page includes a warning that reminds guests that comfortable shoes are strongly recommended! The site reads, “Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended, to help you stroll around all the festive fun… and dance the night away.”
At last year’s event, we saw guests dressed to the nines in old Hollywood and red carpet-ready looks. We even spotted lots of guests wearing heels at Jollywood Nights last year, which may have made for a long evening if this warning is any indication!
We’ve been longtime advocates of the importance of wearing comfortable shoes in Disney World, so we’re totally on board with this warning that comfort is essential when picking the shoes for your Disney ‘fit! In fact, we’ve even got some suggestions if you’re in search of the perfect park shoes for your next vacation.
We’ll continue to report back with more Disney news you need to know ahead of the holiday season, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates!
