On the morning of January 15, 2025, eligible Disney Vacation Club members can register for one of the three Moonlight Magic sessions taking place in the early months of the year.
Registration opens at 11:00am Eastern on Wednesday, January 15 for the three events taking place during the winter timeframe. Included are:
- Disney's Hollywood Studios January 26, 2025
- Disney California Adventure: February 3, 2025
- Disney's Animal Kingdom: February 12, 2025
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 should be released by Disney Vacation Club by early Wednesday morning, and will be added here when available.
During this early event registration period, eligible Disney Vacation Club owners with hotel reservations on the night of the event can register for themselves and up to 4 guests, or up to the number of guests listed on their hotel reservation, whichever is larger. Hotel reservations must be made with Disney Vacation Club points or otherwise booked through DVC Member Services, with stays scheduled for a Walt Disney World resort or Disney's Vero Beach Resort.
Beginning in 2025, members may only attend one Moonlight Magic event per season. The same virtual queue will be utilized for all 3 events in January and February, and participants must select just one event night when registering.
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 their favorite attractions with anticipated short wait times, unique character encounters, free snacks and more. Check out our recaps of recent Moonlight Magic evenings at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure.
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.
General Registration for all 3 winter 2025 events will take place on January 17.
The full schedule of Moonlight Magic nights for 2025 includes 9 events planned across five different Disney parks.
