Disney Vacation Club members will have an extra opportunity to enjoy exclusive access to Disney's Animal Kingdom!
On the night of December 13, 2023 Disney Vacation Club will host a "surprise" Moonlight Magic event at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Moonlight Magic is a free after-hours event for members only, which provides access to theme park attractions with shorter-than-usual wait times, free refreshments, unique character encounters and more. The events typically run for about 3 hours after the park's scheduled closing time.
Advance registration is required and event capacity is limited. Registration will utilize a virtual queue, which is a sort of lottery system to determine who is able to attend. Moonlight Magic events typically do not have enough capacity to accommodate all eligible DVC members staying at Walt Disney World.
Qualifying members with resort reservations for the night of December 13 will be able to register beginnning at 11:00am eastern on November 28, 2023. Members can register up to the number of guests listed on their hotel reservation. (e.g. a member with a reservation for a two bedroom villa with 8 individuals in the party can register for 8 attendees to Moonlight Magic.)
All guests must be listed on the reservation by 11:59pm on November 26, 2023 in order to be recognized.
A second general registration will take place on December 5, 2023 at 11:00am eastern. During the general enrollment, no hotel stay is required in order to participate. Members can register themselves and up to 4 additional guests to attend the event.
Moonlight Magic is open only to DVC members who qualify for Membership Extras. The current policy requires owners to purchase at least 150 points direct from DVC in order to qualify, though some legacy members are grandfathered into the perks program under prior terms.
The member must attend Moonlight Magic and be prepared to show their DVC digital member card and a photo ID upon arrival.
Registration links for the virtual queue will be published closer to the registration date.
This is the 10th Moonlight Magic event of 2023. No announcements have been made regarding a schedule for 2024.
