This past weekend was the first Disney Jollywood Nights event of the 2024 Holiday Season, and we were in attendance to check out what’s new, what’s changed, and what’s returning this year. As you’ve probably heard by now, Disney Jollywood Nights had a rough debut last year during its first year as an event, but Disney is sticking with the concept and making some changes this year – including a brand new dance party in Pixar Place featuring fan-favorite characters! The dance party runs through the night and the characters will come and go, but there will generally always be at least one or two characters around to cut a rug with if you’re looking for a high-energy spot to visit.
Pixar Place Dance Party at Disney Jollywood Nights
Pixar Place is a sort of limbo corridor outside of Toy Story Land, but still connected to the Pixar umbrella of storytelling. It used to feature the main entrance to the Toy Story Mania attraction before Toy Story Land opened, but now it’s home to a collection of Pixar-themed meet and greets and some specialty food…during daily operations. During Disney Jollywood Nights, the area is transformed into a dance party featuring songs from across a variety of eras and Pixar characters to dance with!
The Pixar Place Dance Party is new to this year’s version of Disney Jollywood Nights. The Pixar Place Dance Party features a DJ and specialty lighting in addition to Pixar characters. When we stopped by, characters that were available to dance with included Joy, Edna Mode, Mike Wazowski, and Frozone. In addition to regular mix-and-mingle dancing, there was a special moment where the characters danced down a runway for guests before jumping right back into dancing. There is no formal meet and greet here, but characters seemed to be happy to take a brief break from dancing for the occasional selfie.
