What’s the Glow-Down?
Imagine Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon transformed into a tropical oasis bathed in a kaleidoscope of neon lights, all while the usual daytime crowds have vanished. That’s the magic of H2O Glow After Hours! This hard-ticket event offers limited attendance, meaning those notoriously long lines for your favorite water attractions practically disappear.

A Party for the Ages (and All Ages!)
This year, Partysaurus Rex is not only hosting the bash but also bringing along some of his favorite “Toy Story” pals – Buzz, Jessie, Woody, and Bullseye – for photo ops and dance-offs!
While Partysaurus Rex might not be the most interactive of hosts, his presence certainly adds to the playful, high-energy atmosphere.
The entire park pulses with the beat of a live DJ, creating an irresistible urge to bust a move between rides.
And let’s talk about the perks! Your admission isn’t just for the rides and the dazzling ambiance. It also includes unlimited complimentary snacks, such as classic Mickey ice cream bars, fluffy popcorn, and select bottled beverages. Forget rummaging for your wallet; just grab and go! Plus, keep an eye out for exclusive “glow-themed” menu items available for purchase if you’re craving something a little extra.
