Looking for a fun activity for your summer Disney World trip?

Take part in Disney H2O Glow Nights!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, you’ll definitely want to take a look at this!

What’s Disney H2O Glow Nights?

Disney H2O Glow Nights is a ticketed event at Walt Disney World.  It’s a special event that only happens on certain nights of the summer (kind of like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the fall and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in the winter in the Magic Kingdom).  Since it’s a special event with limited capacity, you’ll need a separate ticket to attend (more on that later).

Where are Disney H2O Glow Nights held?

H2O Glow Nights are held at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, one of the 2 water parks at Walt Disney World.  We tell you more about Typhoon Lagoon in our Typhoon Lagoon Guide.

When are Disney H2O Glow Nights?

H2O Glow Nights take place on select evenings from June 2 to September 5, 2026 (but be sure to check for availability as they may sell out). The event lasts from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, but you can get into the park as early as 6:00 PM on the day of the event.

Here are the select nights:

What can I do during Disney H2O Glow Nights?

Be prepared for a night of fun!  Beloved characters will be in attendance.  This starts with Powerline Max, who will be meeting with guests all night.
 
There’s also a DJ Dance Party where you’ll see lots of special characters:
  • Donald Duck & Daisy Duck
  • Chip ‘n’ Dale as the Rescue Rangers
  • Scrooge McDuck
  • Launchpad McQuack

In addition to enjoying the characters, this party has high-energy beats, dazzling lights, and great vibes!

Characters rotate throughout the night, too, so you never know when you’ll stumble upon a great character interaction!

But characters aren’t the only thing that makes this event special.  A great thing about this event is that free snacks are included in the cost of your ticket!  This includes Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars!
 
You can also ride popular water rides at Typhoon Lagoon – and because this is a limited ticket event, you should be able to enjoy shorter lines!  And since it’s dark out, it gives the whole park a different feel.  The ride experience can be different in an exciting way.

How can I get tickets to H2O Glow Nights?

Starting today, you can purchase a ticket to the event if you are staying at:

  • An official Disney hotel
  • Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin hotels
  • Shades of Green

Tickets will go on sale for everyone else on April 24, 2026.  Annual passholders and Disney Vacation Club members will be able to purchase tickets at a discounted price (you’ll save 20%).

How to save big on your dream Disney vacation

For everyone else, if you want a good price, then consider purchasing tickets to H2O Glow Nights online through Undercover Tourist, a great website that offers Disney World tickets as well as Disney World hotel reservations, Universal Studios Orlando tickets and more (often at a big discount).  You can currently save up to $2 on tickets through Undercover Tourist!

What if I just want to go to Typhoon Lagoon during the day?

You can certainly enjoy Typhoon Lagoon during the day without attending any special events. Be sure to see how you can save money on Disney water park tickets for both Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s other water park, Blizzard Beach.
