Disney Jollywood Nights, the after-hours holiday party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is packed with exclusive entertainment, character greetings, and festive food. A key part of capturing the glamorous atmosphere of the event is the array of special PhotoPass opportunities.
For 2025, Disney has rolled out a variety of Magic Shots and photo ops unique to the party. This guide provides a full list of the Magic Shots and their locations to help you plan your photo tour of this festive, tinsel-town-themed evening.
Magic Shots on Hollywood & Sunset Boulevards
The main thoroughfares of the park are decked out in holiday splendor and serve as the backdrop for several key photo opportunities.
Disney Jollywood Nights Sign: Guests can pose with the official event logo near the entrance of the park, between Oscar’s Super Service and the start of Sunset Boulevard.
Ollie Slate: Found on Hollywood Boulevard and at Echo Lake, this prop photo lets you hold a classic film slate featuring Ollie, the charming gingerbread man mascot of the event.
Muppets Holiday: On Sunset Boulevard, you can get a Magic Shot that adds Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in their holiday best right into your photo, creating a fun and festive scene.
Gift Box: Near the entrance to the Fantasmic! theater on Sunset Boulevard, this Magic Shot places you inside a beautifully wrapped gift box, making for a playful holiday picture.
Hollywood Tower Hotel Ollie: For a spookier holiday photo, find the PhotoPass photographer near the exit of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This Magic Shot adds a ghostly Ollie, the bellhop, to your picture in front of the iconic hotel.
Photo Opportunities Around Echo Lake
The Echo Lake area, with its giant Christmas tree and vintage decorations, offers more unique photo ops to capture the party’s spirit.
Holiday Mickey Mouse Lights: Near the main Christmas tree at Echo Lake, this Magic Shot surrounds your photo with a festive string of glowing Mickey-shaped holiday lights.
Ollie: The event’s gingerbread mascot, Ollie, makes another appearance in a Magic Shot located near the ABC Commissary.
Themed Photo Ops in Other Park Areas
Beyond the main streets, several other areas of the park host unique photo experiences tied to their specific themes.
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Car: Pose in a classic car with a holiday twist near the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant for a retro Christmas card-worthy photo.
Fantasia Slate: At the Red Carpet Dreams location, you can hold a film slate inspired by the timeless film Fantasia, adding a touch of classic animation history to your pictures.
Villains Props: Near the entrance to the Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After show at the Theater of the Stars, guests can pose with props inspired by their favorite villains, such as Maleficent’s staff or the Evil Queen’s magic mirror.
Life Day: Head to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to celebrate Life Day. Near the X-Wing, a PhotoPass photographer will help you capture a photo holding a glowing Life Day orb, a unique experience for Star Wars fans.
Making the Most of Your PhotoPass Experience
With so many exclusive photo opportunities available, it’s a good idea to have a plan. Since digital downloads are included with your Jollywood Nights ticket, you can visit as many photographers as you like without worrying about individual purchase costs.
Check the My Disney Experience app during the party for precise photographer locations, as they can sometimes move. Some of the prop shots and Magic Shots are very popular, so consider visiting them earlier or later in the evening to avoid longer lines. These unique photos are a wonderful way to remember the glamour and fun of Jollywood Nights, so be sure to leave some time in your schedule to strike a pose.
