Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will notice that work is underway in the Center Stage area in front of the Chinese Theater for an exclusive ice skating show coming to Disney Jollywood Nights. The new show is called Glisten and it will feature where international champion skaters as they perform breathtaking routines set to a vibrant holiday soundtrack – including original songs and Disney favorites like Be Our Guest and When You Wish Upon A Star.
‘Glisten‘ Preparations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ve previously seen some preparations underway along Sunset Boulevard and in the Center Stage area for the holiday season, but on a recent visit we also noticed that some noticeable work was taking place for the all-new skating show.
The show will take place in the Center Stage area in front of the Chinese Theater, and while the concept sounds good, I’m not sure how practical the location will be. Viewing angles are going to be tough considering that the area isn’t that much higher than the surrounding plaza. The show might work best as an area entertainment-style offering and not a “show”. Either way, we’ll see how things go later this week when Disney Jollywood Nights debuts for the 2024 season.
Here’s a look at the work, which includes new lighting rigs, new seasonal plants, and a tarp featuring the Glisten logo covering what we assume is a plastic-style skating surface for the show.
