Get ready to glow this summer! Disney has officially announced the return of H2O Glow After Hours at Typhoon Lagoon, and it’s shaping up to be the ultimate nighttime splash party. Kicking off May 23 and running on select nights through September 13, this fan-favorite after-hours event transforms the water park into a neon-lit celebration packed with shorter wait times for popular attractions, a DJ dance party on the beach, exclusive snacks, and an all-around vibrant vibe you won’t want to miss.
Whether you’re a returning guest or considering H2O Glow for the first time, now’s the perfect time to start planning. Want to know what it’s really like? Be sure to check out our full review from last year where we break down everything from the food and atmosphere to the best strategy for enjoying the event:
This family-friendly event takes place on select nights throughout the summer from May 23rd to September 13th. That’s right, your summer nights are about to get that much brighter. Your quintessential party host each night will be Partysaurus Rex and this time he’s bringing along some of his Toy Story friends to help ensure everyone has a night to remember.
Each night is a chance to dance the night away in your most colorful glow-in-the-dark style and enjoy amazing complimentary snacks (think Mickey bars, popcorn and select beverages). I’ll tell you more about the food and drinks later. Right now, get ready to get your tickets because guests staying at a Disney World hotel can purchase tickets starting April 1, while tickets for the general public are available starting April 4.
If you’ve been to H2O Glow in the past, then I don’t have to tell you about the fun that’s in store. But if this is going to be your first year attending, then let me give you the scoop on the nighttime thrills ahead. Here are all the details.
How to Glow Up This Summer at H2O Glow After Hours
Radiate with excitement through the night, whether you’re “glowing’’ with the flow on Castaway Creek or daring to drop five stories on Humunga Kowabunga. Plus, the after hours timing means you’ll avoid any potential searing midday summer heat. And the best part is that the wait times will be shorter compared to visiting Typhoon Lagoon during the regular daylight hours. Enjoy all of the park’s iconic attractions, especially the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, which is North America’s largest wave pool.
Indulge in Radiant Food and Drinks at H2O Glow
There is always deLIGHTful food and drinks at H2O Glow, but this year we’ve added even more scrumptious bites. Two of my favorite new foods are our Chicken and Mickey-shaped Waffle Sliders, which you can get at Leaning Palms, and our Glow-versized Loaded Baked Potato at Typhoon Tilly’s.
We are still cooking up more menu items, so I’ll have a full list of food and drinks for you in the coming weeks, but just be prepared to have your taste buds tickled all night long.
Be a Star on the Dance Floor
H2O Glow comes to life and shines bright during the DJ dance party. Move and groove under the stars to an electric glow-filled party on the dance floor.
Full of dazzling lights, pulsating music and a few of your favorite Disney characters, the dance party is sure to be a glowingly good night that you won’t want to miss!
So, get your H2O Glow tickets next week because it’s a fun way to keep the kids cool during the warm summer months. We’ve made it extra appealing for young families because for the first time this year kids get in for only $42.50, which is half the price of the $85 adult ticket. And if you’re an adult Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club member, you can save even more!
