The first Disney Jollywood Nights of 2026 is in the books! If you’re like me and love the character meet and greets, there were two new rules implemented on November 7.
The first rule has to do with the number of pictures that you can take with each character. Each group gets three pictures. I’ve heard that it’s two individual and one group, but it might be possible to break it up into a different configuration. It doesn’t matter if you have two people or ten people, it’s three pictures per group. Remember, PhotoPass is included with your Jollywood ticket.
The second rule is about autographs. The characters aren’t signing this year. There are autograph cards that you can ask for, but that’s it.
These rules are to keep the character lines moving. Last year, a couple of the character lines were fairly long. Disney Jollywood Nights isn’t crowded, and having to wait in a long line felt strange.
I would not be surprised if Disney fine-tunes these new rules to some extent. Since this is new this year, they will listen to both guest and Cast feedback, and see if anything needs to be tweaked. Disney will often make changes when they think that something can be improved.
