H2O Glow After Hours Returns to Disney Typhoon Lagoon This Summer
Get ready to “glow” wild! Disney has officially announced the return of H2O Glow After Hours at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon for the 2026 season. This neon-drenched, nighttime pool party is one of the most popular summer events at the resort, and this year brings some exciting changes for families.

The Event Details
The party kicks off on May 23 and runs on select nights through September 13, 2026. Hosted by the one and only Partysaurus Rex, the event transforms the water park into a high-energy dance party with glowing decor, a live DJ, and rare character appearances (including some favorite Toy Story friends).
The 13 event nights for the 2026 season are:
- June: 2, 13, 19, 27
- July: 3, 7, 17, 24, 31
- August: 9, 22, 29
- September: 5
Expanded Rare Character Lineup
This year, Disney is leaning heavily into the nostalgia with a new lineup of rare characters. While Partysaurus Rex has hosted in the past, 2026 belongs to Powerline Max!
Rare Appearances:
Guests can also spot Chip ‘n’ Dale as the Rescue Rangers, along with Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad McQuack.
Powerline Max: Meeting and greeting fans throughout the night.
DJ Dance Party: Donald Duck and Daisy Duck will be hosting the dance party on the beach in their vacation attire.
Exclusive Perks
The biggest draw for H2O Glow is the dramatically shorter wait times. Guests have exclusive access to the massive Surf Pool and popular slides like Miss Adventure Falls and Humunga Kowabunga after the park closes to the general public. Plus, your ticket price includes unlimited:
- Ice cream novelties (Mickey premiums!)
- Popcorn
- Select fountain beverages
Ticket Pricing and New Savings for Kids
Ticket prices for 2026 range from $85 to $89 per ticket (plus tax), depending on the specific event date you choose. In a brand-new update for this year, Disney is offering a significant discount for younger guests—you can save $20 per ticket for children ages 3 to 9. As always, children under the age of 3 are admitted for free.
Discounts for Passholders and DVC Members
Annual Passholders, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members, and Disney Water Park Seasonal Passholders can take advantage of even deeper savings. These eligible guests can save 20% on tickets for this event.

The purchasing window opens in two phases:
April 24, 2026: All other guests may begin purchasing tickets for any available date.
April 21, 2026: Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels (including Disney Resorts Collection hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green) can purchase tickets for dates during their stay starting today.
