Jazzy Holidays gives guests a chance to step away from some of that activity without leaving the holiday atmosphere behind.However, this isn’t simply the normal Brown Derby dining experience with Christmas music.Jazzy Holidays features an event-exclusive food and drink menu. The standard Hollywood Brown Derby menu will not be available during the experience.Disney Has a Special Menu for the EventGuests will have several small plates to choose from.The Jazzy Sliders combine bison and pork with onion jam and Gorgonzola cheese on a brioche roll. Chorizo Arancini comes with shaved Parmesan and Salmorejo tomato sauce.Other options include Pork Belly Bao with Korean barbecue, cucumber slaw, and soy vinaigrette, as well as a plant-based Tofu Bao featuring seared tofu, cucumber slaw, and soy vinaigrette.Disney is also serving Char-grilled Chicken Yakitori with crispy rice, passion fruit-soy marinated chicken, cilantro aïoli, and watermelon radish.Specialty cocktails are available as well.

Jazzy Holidays offers a more adult-oriented corner of Disney Jollywood Nights and a chance to get away from some of the crowds.Credit: Jeremy Thompson, FlickrOf course, spending time inside the restaurant also means using part of a limited-ticket event night.Guests will have to decide how much of their evening they want to dedicate to Jazzy Holidays compared with everything else happening around Disney’s Hollywood Studios.For some visitors, having a reserved place to sit, order a drink, enjoy a few small plates, and listen to live music could be worth that time. Others may prefer to spend as much of their night as possible exploring the rest of the park.What Guests Need to Know Before BookingAnyone making a Jazzy Holidays reservation should understand exactly what is and isn’t included.A valid Disney Jollywood Nights ticket is required separately.
