Another special Disney event is finally here!
We love experiencing after-hours events in the Disney World parks, but H2O Glow After Hours nights can’t be forgotten about! This year, this special event is taking place on select nights in Typhoon Lagoon from May 25th-August 31st, 2024. How much is there to experience at one water park though? We’re here to show it ALL to you!
While ticket holders for this event can enter at 6PM (entering any earlier means you will also need a daytime ticket to the water park), the actual event runs from 8PM-11PM. Not only will you get to experience the park at night and ride its many attractions with little to no waits, but you’ll get to take advantage of tons of exclusive add-ons as well!

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of H2O Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
