On the morning of October 8, 2024, eligible Disney Vacation Club members can register for the three bonus Moonlight Magic sessions at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Last month Disney Vacation Club revealed that it was adding three more Moonlight Magic nights to the calendar in 2024. General registration opens at 11:00am Eastern on Tuesday, October 8 for the following dates in fall 2024:
-
Thursday, October 24, 2024
-
Thursday, November 21, 2024
-
Tuesday, December 10, 2024
The process utilizes a virtual queue to manage sign-ups. Members are advised to arrive in the waiting room prior to the designated start time. At 11am, all individuals in the waiting room will be assigned a random queue position. This queue position will determine whether or not the member can register for the event.
The virtual queue link is as follows: https://eventswithdisney.queue-it.net/?c=eventswithdisney&e=dvcmmdakgenreg2024
During the general registration, eligible Disney Vacation Club owners can register for themselves and up to 4 guests. Advance registration was previously hosted for members with a Disney hotel stay on the night of an event. During general registration, event availability is typically very limited. However, the advance registration page remained open for more than a day, suggesting lukewarm demand for the three fall evenings. As a result, owners may have increased success with general registration for these three dates.
Members are typically limited to one Moonlight Magic per theme park, per year. However, DVC has announced that those who attended a previous event at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2024 may still attend one of these three newly-announced sessions.
Moonlight Magic is a free after-hours event exclusivel for DVC members. The event includes complimentary admission to the theme park. Guests will be able to enjoy attractions like Avatar Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest with anticipated short wait times, unique character encounters, free snacks and more. Check out our recap of a 2023 Moonlight Magic at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Owners must be eligible for Membership Extras in order to participate. The qualifying DVC member must be present during the event, and able to provide both their digital DVC member card and a photo ID.
Disney Vacation Club also revealed the schedule of Moonlight Magic nights for 2025 with 9 events planned across five different Disney parks.
