Overview
- Disney Vacation Club announced on Monday, September 21 that it added three Moonlight Magic events for 2026: EPCOT on October 15 and Disney’s Animal Kingdom on November 30 and December 22.
- Early registration for members with qualifying resort reservations opens September 24, general registration opens October 1, and any resort or party-size changes had to be completed by September 20 to count for the early window.
- Attendance is limited to eligible DVC members under the Membership Extras program, registration uses a virtual-queue system, and the events are complimentary for qualifiers but not all members will secure spots.
- Membership Extras eligibility requires owning at least 150 Vacation Points bought directly from Disney Vacation Development, LLC, and early-registration requires a qualifying Disney resort reservation in the same state as the event.
- The new dates place Moonlight Magic in peak programming windows — EPCOT during Food & Wine and Animal Kingdom in the holiday stretch — which will likely raise demand and affect member trip planning while remaining distinct from paid After Hours or Extended Evening Hours offers.
