Disney Vacation Club has announced dates for its Moonlight Magic events stretching into late 2025 and throughout 2026. They’ve added more event nights for 2025 and plan to host nine events in 2026. Members can register, with priority given to those staying at qualifying resorts.
Moonlight Magic Nights are special evening events held in the Disney parks, just for Disney Vacation Club members.
Extra 2025 Events
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will host three extra “Moonlight Magic” nights in 2025 on October 29th, November 18th, and December 15th.
Members can sign up for one of these additional evenings, even if they’ve already been to a Moonlight Magic event this year.
If you’re a Disney resort guest and meet the requirements, you can sign up for the extra Animal Kingdom nights starting October 2, 2025. All other eligible members can register beginning October 9, 2025.

Registration Rules & Eligibility
In 2026, members can sign up for one Moonlight Magic event each season. Seasons include winter (January-March), spring (April-June), and summer (July-September).
Members who have a qualifying resort reservation for the night of the event can register early. To qualify, reservations generally need to be booked directly through Disney Vacation Club Member Services or meet other specific requirements for the event.
Regular registration begins shortly after early registration and is open to any member who didn’t sign up during the early period.
Membership Extras eligibility is required. Only members who hold that benefit can register.
Purpose and Event Features
Moonlight Magic events let Disney Vacation Club members enjoy select Disney parks and water parks after they’ve closed to the general public.
Typical features include:
-
Shorter-than-usual wait times for popular attractions
-
Exclusive rare character meet-and-greets and appearances not available during regular hours
-
Complimentary treats and refreshments during the event
-
Special entertainment and photo opportunities tailored to the after-hours setting
These events are exclusively for members, so the experience is different from events open to the public or those requiring separate tickets.
What Happens If Demand Exceeds Capacity?
We use an online waiting room to manage registration. On registration days, eligible members will join this waiting room before registration officially begins. When registration opens, everyone is assigned a place in line, and then they can choose an event for the season. Keep in mind that space is limited, so events may fill up quickly.
Summary
Disney Vacation Club members can now book three additional event dates at Animal Kingdom in late 2025, even if they’ve already used one event this year.
Nine Moonlight Magic events are scheduled for 2026, taking place throughout the winter, spring, and summer months.
Okay, so as a movie buff wanting to snag tickets to these special events, here’s the deal: you can only sign up for one per season. And getting first dibs on tickets? That’s tied to whether you’ve already booked a stay at the resort – there are some specific requirements for that reservation, so you’ll need to check those out beforehand.
