Gertie the dinosaur is now a $100 Loungefly bag, the priciest item in Disney's Jollywood Nights 2026 merch. One of everything costs $342.93 before tax, about the price of two cheap-night party tickets.
Gertie the dinosaur has stood in Echo Lake since Disney's Hollywood Studios opened in 1989, back when it was Disney-MGM Studios. Now you can carry her around for $100.
The Gertie Loungefly Novelty Bag is the most expensive piece of Disney Jollywood Nights 2026 merchandise, WDW News Today reported Saturday, Nov. 7, as the after-hours holiday party opened at Hollywood Studios. It's limited to one per guest.
WDWNT listed eight event-exclusive items in all. Buy one of each and the total comes to $342.93 before tax, by our math. That's about two tickets for the party's cheapest night, Nov. 16, at $169 each.
It's only $9 more than last year's full set, though. The $84.99 Spirit Jersey from 2025 is gone, and a $59.99 crew fleece took its spot.
Here's a look at last year's Jollywood Nights merchandise for comparison:

What does the Gertie Loungefly bag look like?
It's shaped like Gertie herself, long neck and all. She wears a red Santa hat trimmed in white, has snow piled on her back and holds a red Christmas ornament in her mouth with a bit of green fringe.
The zipper pull is shaped like an ornament, and the strap is red. The Jollywood Nights logo sits on the side under a green metal Disney Parks and Loungefly plaque. Inside, a blue lining is printed with holiday icons and park landmarks like the Tower of Terror.
It matches the real thing. Gertie got her Santa hat back at Echo Lake this week, with a red ornament this year instead of gold, as we reported Thursday.
What else is in the Jollywood Nights 2026 collection?
Three characters show up again and again: Santa Gertie, Santa Duffy and Ollie, the party's gingerbread man mascot.
Crew Fleece: Blue, with Gertie standing in Echo Lake on the chest and a sleeve covered in swirls inspired by Hollywood vanity lights
Ear Headband: Gertie, Duffy and Ollie drawn like neon signs, with double-sided ears and a removable red bow
T-Shirt: Bright red, with Duffy on the front and all three characters in glittery gold diamonds on the back
Santa Duffy Mug: A sculpted Duffy bust whose Santa hat doubles as the lid
Gertie Ornament: Santa Gertie rising from a base stamped with the event logo and 2026
Event Pin: The trio in diamonds on a glittery blue background
Passholder Pin: Ollie carrying presents, flanked by the Tower of Terror and the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater marquee
How do 2026 Jollywood Nights prices compare with 2025?
Most things went up, according to WDWNT's opening-night lists for both years:
Loungefly bag: $100, up from $85 for last year's Ollie bag
Ear headband: $46.99, up from $36.99, though this year's is a Loungefly
T-shirt: $36.99, up from $34.99
Mug: $27.99, up from $24.99
Pins: $21.99 each, up from $19.99
Ornament: $26.99, the same as last year
Where can you buy Jollywood Nights merch?
At the shop in the exit area of Vacation Fun, the Mickey and Minnie short at Echo Lake, near "Frozen" Fractal Gifts. Signs outside list prices and limits, with a QR code for mobile ordering.
Vacation Fun stays open for day guests this year but closes at 3 p.m. on party dates, and merch sales start at 4 p.m., WDWNT reported. Disney's event page says the merch is sold "only during the event."
Will Jollywood Nights merch go on sale for day guests?
It did last year. WDWNT spotted the 2025 T-shirt, mug and Loungefly bag at Mickey's of Hollywood for regular day guests on Dec. 1, 2025. The Spirit Jersey, ears and ornament followed by Dec. 6.
By Dec. 3, the Ollie Loungefly was down to $60 with any other merchandise purchase. Disney hasn't said whether it'll do the same this year, and "while supplies last" cuts both ways.
Gertie has waited in that lake for 37 years. A December markdown might be worth the wait. Or it might not.
