The finishing touches arrive ahead of Saturday’s Jollywood Nights kickoff at Hollywood Studios.

Overview

  • Across Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard, vintage mid‑century touches returned, including tinsel stars, classic wreaths, and oversized porcelain figures near Echo Lake.
  • Toy Story Land features seasonal overlays, with Woody in a scarf, Rex sporting reindeer antlers, and the fan‑favorite Hamm cookie decoration on display.
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom installed its entrance Christmas tree and added colorful garland and wreaths themed with animal and nature motifs, with character‑themed presents featured beneath.
  • Animal Kingdom also introduced holiday banners on lampposts and a Merry Menagerie mural near Discovery Island as early seasonal elements went live.
