What is Moonlight Magic?
Moonlight Magic is an exclusive after hours event for eligible DVC members. These events allow members access to Disney Parks with limited wait times, character meet and greets, special entertainment, and free treats.
Who is Eligible for Moonlight Magic?
These events are Membership Extras for DVC members who have an ownership interest of 150 vacation points or more purchased directly from Disney, rather than a third-party site. Members who do not have an ownership interest directly from Disney do not have access to Membership Extras.
Eligible members can register themselves and four guests over the age of three. Children under three years old do not need to register.
Full registration and eligibility details are on DisneyVacationClub.com.
