It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
We’re officially in the holiday swing of things in Disney World! As part of the celebrations, we’ve come to Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios for its second year, and we’re checking out ALL the special offerings. One of the new things on the list this year is a special holiday-themed show!
For the first time in 2024, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is offering an ice skating show called “Glisten!” Located right on Hollywood Boulevard, this show happens at 8:15PM, 9:15PM, 10:30PM, 11:15PM, and 12:15AM during Jollywood Nights.
You’ll find the performance area right in front of the Chinese Theater and it looks like an ice-skating rink! The show is performed by international champion skaters, and it’s set to a soundtrack of holiday and Disney songs.
The show is about 15 minutes long, so it is not super long which makes it easier to fit into your evening. There is lots of standing room available, so you don’t need to show up super early to stake out a spot or anything like that.
Overall, we thought the show was a lot of fun and we definitely recommend adding it to your agenda at Jollywood Nights. The show features skaters and there are also projections on the Chinese Theater. The dancers were very talented and while they were some slight hiccups, we know the show will become more polished as the season goes on.
The skating is more of a dancing skating, kind of like a High School Musical choreography. We do wish there was a bit more traditional skating elements, but it was still a very enjoyable show. There were some very impressive lifts, and we could tell the skaters were having a good time. It was fun and the ice skating made it feel so Christmas-y.
Plus, it is a short show that doesn’t require a huge time commitment to get a spot for. You can walk up right as it is starting and likely be able to find some space by the stage. There are also five showtimes each night, so you can choose the one that fits best in your schedule.
Thanks for coming along with us to Glisten! We really enjoyed this new entertainment offering and we recommend you check it out if you’re going to Jollywood Nights this year. Stay tuned to DFB for more fun from the event!
