On October 1, 2026, eligible Disney Vacation Club members have a second opportunity to register for events at EPCOT and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Registration opens at 11:00am Eastern on Thursday, October 1 for events planned for late-2026. Dates include:
- EPCOT: Thursday, October 15, 2026
- Disney's Animal Kingdom: Monday, November 30, 2026
- Disney's Animal Kingdom: Tuesday, December 22, 2026
The link for the virtual queue waiting room will be published on the DVC Moonlight Magic page several hours before registration opens.
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 all three events, 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.
Disney Vacation Club will host a total of 12 events in 2026 across five different Disney parks. Plans for 2027 have not yet been released.
