H2OGlow Season is upon us!

Beginning on May 25th, Typhoon Lagoon will once again play host to the summer-long H2O Glow After Hours event. Running until August 31st, the After Hours event has become a favorite of many in recent years thanks to its FUN nighttime atmosphere, which offers the opportunity to experience the park’s water slides and attractions at night, with special lighting and smaller lines, as well as included snacks, a DJ, and “beloved” Disney characters.
Disney H2O Glow After Hours at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is a separately ticketed event.

There will be plenty of complimentary towels, but make sure to pack a swimsuit — several of the water park’s most popular attractions will be open throughout the night. Oh, and look for signs around the park — that way, you know exactly what’s open.

You can find towels at Singapore Sal’s and Lowtide Lou’s. Now, let’s talk about EVERYTHING you get with an After Hours ticket.

Characters
No special Disney event is complete without some character interactions! This year, look out for Goofy and (for the first time EVER) Phineas and Ferb! This iconic duo will be located at Getaway Glen near Leaning Palms.

Keep your eyes peeled — you never know who else might attend the party! In the past, we’ve also spotted Chip ‘n’ Dale at H2O Glow nights, though character meet-and-greets are subject to change.

If there’s one thing we know about Goofy, it’s that he LOVES to dance, so follow the music and you just might see him near the DJ!
Food
GREAT news — you can enjoy FREE treats during this event. We’re talking all the classics, like ice cream novelties (MICKEY BARS), popcorn, and select fountain beverages. You can find these treats at select locations throughout the park. Make sure to stock up before you leave — don’t forget, it’s FREE!
