When it feels like it’s 100° outside, the sun is beating down on your skin, and you’ve just walked nearly 10,000 steps in Disney World, you could probably use a little time to cool off. Luckily, we’ve got just the thing you need — and the best part is that you don’t need to wake up early, buy Genie+, or even put on sunscreen! Say WHAT?! Yep, Disney has a special event with FREE foods and drinks, music, characters, and shortened wait times.

Typhoon Lagoon
So, what is this magical event? Over at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, there’s a special event RETURNING to Disney World that is perfect for those of us who want to ESCAPE the scorching rays of the relentless sun.
Disney just announced that H2O Glow Nights will return at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park! This late-night event is pretty popular (especially if you love a water park). Who doesn’t want the opportunity to splash around with Partysaurus Rex?!

Basically, H20 Glow Nights are like Disney’s After Hours events, but in a water park! During the event, you will have access to shorter wait times, a DJ dance party, exclusive treats, and more.

This year, the event will take place from 8PM to 11PM, but you can enter the park as early as 6PM. Just keep in mind that the After Hours festivities won’t start until 8PM! Once the party kicks off, make sure to stock up on FREE ice cream treats, popcorn, and select fountain beverages. If you’re still hungry, you can also purchase other snacks around the park. Our recommendation? Load up on free popcorn, people!
