Disney H2O Glow After Hours returns to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for select 2026 summer nights, with limited-capacity access after the water park closes to day guests.
The party runs 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., and ticket holders can enter at 6 p.m. That early window is useful. It gives families time to change, claim lockers, eat, and get into the water before the event clock starts.
Dates and tickets
The 2026 dates are June 2, 13, 19, and 27; July 3, 7, 17, 24, and 31; August 9, 22, and 29; and September 5. Tickets cost $85 to $89 plus tax. Children ages 3 to 9 save $20 per ticket.
Annual Passholders, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members, and Disney Water Park Seasonal Passholders can save 20%. Children younger than 3 do not need a ticket.
What is included
The ticket includes popcorn, ice cream novelties, and select bottled beverages. Complimentary towels are available at Singapore Sal's, and snack stations are marked in the park with glowing wave signs.
The attraction list includes Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, Castaway Creek, Crush 'n' Gusher, Ketchakiddee Creek, raft rides, and waterslides, with attraction availability still subject to weather and operations. Castaway Creek also has character inner tubes during the event, including Sulley, Kevin, Nemo, and WALL-E designs.
The event also has a DJ dance party, Disney characters, and a Powerline Max meet. Chip, Dale, Donald, Daisy, and Launchpad McQuack can appear around the beach party, while Powerline Max has a greeting area near Leaning Palms and can also join dances from the stage.
Beachcomber Shacks
Beachcomber Shacks are optional rentals for groups that want a fixed home base. Standard shacks seat up to 6 and fit up to 10 guests. Deluxe shacks seat up to 8 and fit up to 12 guests. Premium Plus shacks fit up to 10 guests and add a dining table, mini refrigerator, TV, fan, and electrical outlets.
All three types include cushioned seating, towels, a locker, cold water, bottled sodas, and attendant service for paid food and beverage orders.
Planning notes
Pack like this is still a water park night, not a normal Disney After Hours event. Bring dry clothes, weather awareness, phone protection, and a plan for wet kids at 11 p.m. Loose ice, dry ice, glass, and alcoholic beverages cannot be brought into the water park.
Use the 6 p.m. entry for lockers, towels, lounge chairs, and a first float before the party starts. Save bigger slide repeats for the event window, when day guests have cleared out.
Buy any must-have event food before 10 p.m. Quick-service locations can close about an hour before the party ends.
Weather is the real caveat. Water parks can close or pause attractions when storms move through, so pick H2O Glow for the event mix, not because every slide is guaranteed all night.
