food IS a theme park
One of Disney’s most popular after-hours events is confirmed to return THIS summer.
H2O Glow After Hours
Disney has officially confirmed that the popular H2O Glow event will be returning to Walt Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon water park this summer.
Over the past few years, Disney World started a trend where only one of its water parks is open at a time.
Blizzard Beach
There are two water parks located on Disney World property — Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Both are home to tons of fun water attractions and pools, but there’s usually not enough water park traffic to support both being open at the same time, so they switch off each year. In fact, we have some news about BOTH parks! Blizzard Beach is getting ready to celebrate a big anniversary in April, and now we know when Typhoon Lagoon will be opening!

For the first time ever, the acclaimed park will be open on select nights during select Saturday nights in April and May. According to Universal, this “all-new, limited-capacity event allows guests to enjoy their favorite water attractions, live entertainment, DreamWorks character meet and greets, complimentary island treats and more at the lush, tropical oasis,” and tickets are on sale now!
Which Disney World water park is the BEST of the two? Is there such a thing as GOOD water park food? And what should you absolutely NEVER forget before you hit up Blizzard Beach OR Typhoon Lagoon?

The holiday crowds may have largely left Disney World, but now runDisney crowds have begun to sneak their way for the first event of the year.
Blizzard Beach
That’s not all though — cold weather has also snuck its way into Orlando and while yes, it is winter, temperatures are DROPPING! This week in Disney World will be a cold one, so replace your bathing suit with your long layers and jacket because Blizzard Beach will be CLOSED!
It’s time for a NEW Disney World perk!
Blizzard Beach
Disney World has announced that in 2025, those staying at Disney hotels will get a FREE ticket to the water parks on their arrival day. You’ll be able to use this perk at either Blizzard Beach Water Park or Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, but only on your check-in day. But, if you’re hoping to use this perk tomorrow — you’re out of luck.
There are some great perks that Disney World offers to guests staying at their hotels.
Grand Floridian Resort
If you are staying on Disney property you get a 30-minute early entry to all of the parks. If you want to purchase Lightning Lanes and make ride reservations in advance, hotel guests get to do that 7 days out from check-in versus just 3 days out for non-resort guests. In 2025 there’s a big perk coming for resort guests and it includes 2 free tickets!
Blizzard Beach is BACK!
Blizzard Beach
Walt Disney World’s water park themed as a ski resort slowly melting in the Florida sun recently reopened after its annual refurbishment. In addition to iconic attractions like Summit Plummet, guests at the park will also be able to try out some NEW food offerings. But are they worth it? We found out!
After months and months of waiting, a Disney World park finally reopened today!
Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park has been closed since March while Typhoon Lagoon was operating for the summer instead. But, as of November 4th, Blizzard Beach has opened for the season and we’re bringing you with us to check it all out!
Hang the garland and turn on Mariah Carey — it’s time to celebrate the holidays!
Magic Kingdom
We know what you’re saying — “It’s too soon!” — and we get it. But as soon as November 1st hits, it’s officially the winter holidays…at least according to Disney World! Heck, there are ALREADY loads of festive souvenirs making their way into the parks in mid-October. No matter where you stand on this debate, some pretty big changes are coming to Disney World in November, so let’s get into it!
