Moonlight Magic Returns: DVC Members Get Exclusive After-Hours Access to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom

Disney's Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is reviving its Moonlight Magic events at Walt Disney World, offering DVC members exclusive after-hours access to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom in late 2026. The bonus events are in addition to the regular schedule of Moonlight Magic parties, which usually take place during the year's four seasons.

The late 2026 Moonlight Magic events will be held on October 15 at EPCOT, November 30 at Animal Kingdom, and December 22 at Animal Kingdom. Early registration for these events opens on September 24 to eligible members with qualifying resort reservations in Florida, while general registration begins on October 1.

Moonlight Magic is a free event that allows DVC members to visit a select theme park after hours, enjoying low crowds, minimal wait times for rides, rare character meet-and-greets, and exclusive entertainment. The events are open to eligible 'blue card' Disney Vacation Club members who purchased their membership directly from Disney or before the resale restrictions were implemented in 2016.

Eligible members can register themselves and up to four additional guests for each event, with children under three years old not requiring registration. Complimentary admission is valid for the duration of the event, but attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a participating parent or guardian.
