How High Are the Hollywood Studios Wait Times During a SOLD-OUT Jollywood Nights Party?

We were living it up last night at the first-ever Jollywood Nights celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

That means we tried all the new foods and experienced all the shows made just for this after-hours event. But if you’re hoping for low wait times at select attractions, is Jollywood Nights the party for you? Well, we kept our eyes on the wait times during Jollywood Nights, so let’s talk about it!

Hollywood Studios is home to some of the most sought-after rides in Disney World, so we were really curious to see how long we’d wait during a limited-capacity event. In some parts of the park, we saw some long lines for things like food, drinks, and characters. But what about the rides?

This area is BUSY!

The following rides are some, not all, of what will be open during the event:

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Slinky Dog Dash
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Virtual queue only)

Now normally, these big-ticket attractions wind up with some high wait times (we’re talking over an hour!). But during the party, we were hoping to find some shorter waits.

As it turned out, wait times drastically dropped when the party began. Before the party began at 7PM , wait times were very high; many were over an hour long. While some of those high wait times did dip into part of the party night, by 10PM, this is how things were looking. Not bad, eh?

We saw some MUCH lower wait times than earlier in the evening. In fact, the wait times were lower than you’ll normally ever see them on a normal park day! While lines for special party experiences were quite long, ride lines stayed low pretty much the whole night. Keep in mind, though, that Rise of the Resistance is only available to ride via the virtual queue.
