During general registration, Disney Vacation Club owners who qualify for Membership Extras can register for themselves and up to 4 guests. Beginning in 2025, members are now eligible to attend only 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 one event night when prompted to register.
Moonlight Magic is a free after-hours event exclusive 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.
Advance registration is required in order to attend Moonlight Magic. Members are advised to enter the waiting room before 11am eastern. At exactly 11am, each individual will be assigned a random slot in the registration queue. Availability tends to be very limited during the general registration period.
The full schedule of Moonlight Magic nights for 2026 includes 9 events planned across five different Disney parks. Additional dates may be announced later in the year, as has been the case for the last several years.
