H20 Glow After Hours Tips
Arrive at Typhoon Lagoon ready to begin the fun as close to After Dark opening as possible! It’s the perfect time to get situated without feeling rushed, grab a meal or locker if needed and be ready for some night party fun.
1. Don’t Be Late
While Typhoon Lagoon is open for a specific set time, you will want to get to the park as soon as check-in is allowed so that you can experience as much as possible!
2. After Hours Entrance
When you arrive at the park, look for the After Hours or Special Event turnstile at the gate. This check-in area will distribute your wristband and any other amenities included with your ticket.
If you have regular daytime admission tickets and are already enjoying the park, look for After Hours or Special Event stations inside the park to get your evening wristband. This way, you won't have to exit and re-enter.
3. Get a Good Dinner In
Many restaurants and dining options will close when the park does. While After Hours guests enjoy complimentary snacks like popcorn and ice cream, you should ensure everyone gets a filling dinner in beforehand to fuel up for the night.
We love checking out the special After Hours menu and ordering a little something more than just snacks. Or, you can always grab dinner nearby at Disney Springs.
4. Make a Plan
With shorter lines, you should be able to ride more rides in less time. However, making a game plan before your visit is still helpful. Make a list of your must-dos, study a park map, and come up with the best route to take. Remember to prioritize the attractions you're most excited about, along with special offerings only available during your After Hours Event.
Here’s an overview of Typhoon Lagoon to help you plan even more.
5. Dress to Make a Splash
Swimwear is encouraged, just remember to keep it family friendly. Denim and wetsuits are not permitted on select attractions. Be sure to bring a cover up as well to stay warm and comfortable after you’re done in the water.
6. Pack a Backpack
Speaking of packing, bring a backpack. Bring water bottles to keep hydrated, snacks to supplement your Disney treats, a portable phone charger to keep your battery charged late at night. Disney has complimentary towels at Singapore Sal's for onsite guests. Guest's who are not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort may rent a towel for $2.
7. Don’t Forget Meet and Greets
Special meet and greets often happen during After Hours Events and they are very popular among guests. If meet and greets are important to your group, be sure to prioritize seeing your favorite Disney pals during the event hours.
Booking Your Disney After Hours Vacation
There are a lot of Disney ticket packages to choose from when planning your or your family’s big Disney vacation. However, if you’ve always wanted to experience a Disney theme park with shorter lines and smaller crowds, After Hours tickets may be the perfect addition to your trip.
Just be sure to plan ahead, pack the necessities, and grab a Joffrey’s iced latte or two to be able to stay up past midnight!
We recommend…
We recommend at least a 4-day 1 Park per Day ticket so you can experience one day at each of the main theme parks. Then add on an After Hours event ticket for one night of your stay to extend the magic.
