At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, travelers can enjoy a new nighttime

In addition to enjoying after-hours access to thrill rides
and coasters, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will host an all-new stage show at
Theater of the Stars, while limited-capacity events will take place at The
Hollywood Brown Derby and The Hollywood Tower Hotel Courtyard.
Disney also revealed the “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” nighttime
spectacular will return this year with updated music, fireworks, special
effects and state-of-the-art projections.
Guests can also meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and the rest
of the gang, snap a selfie with friends, enjoy the holiday-themed Pixar Plaza
and indulge in delicious holiday food and beverage options.

but guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World
Swan and Dolphin hotels, and Shades of Green can purchase tickets starting June
