Heads Up — A Disney World After Hours Event Finally Returns TONIGHT

Have you ever been to a Disney World after hours event?

After Hours events are separate-ticketed events that give you a chance to visit the parks after closing, meaning you’ll have to deal with fewer crowds than during a normal day at the park AND you’ll be able to ride attractions with short waits. Sometimes, though, the parties are themed (like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party) and those are the most fun of all. So here’s a reminder that a themed After Hours event is returning to Disney World TONIGHT.

After refurbishment, Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon water park reopened earlier this year. With its reopening, Disney confirmed that a special after hours event called H2O Glow would happen on select nights through the summer. Well, May 20th is the first night this year for the first H20 Glow After Hours event.

H2O Glow lets guests spend three hours in Typhoon Lagoon AFTER the park has closed to the public. The party features special lighting throughout the park, a DJ dance party, character meet and greets, special exclusive snacks, and more. Partygoers can also enjoy attractions throughout Typhoon Lagoon with lower wait times since tickets for the event are limited. These returned in 2022 after being unavailable since the 2020 closures, but we’re glad to see this offering back in 2023.

Those with a party ticket even get some snacks FOR FREE, including some ice cream treats, popcorn, and select fountain beverages.

Tickets for tonight’s party are still available, so if you’re looking for something fun and different to do in Disney World, check it out. Tickets are $75 per adult and $70 per child — you can buy tickets through the Disney World website, although some may be available at Typhoon Lagoon on the day (depending on if the event has sold out or not, as it is limited). The parties run on certain nights through September 2nd, 2023.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on other events in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
