Disney Vacation Club Schedules New Moonlight Magic Events at EPCOT and Animal Kingdom

Disney Vacation Club has announced new Moonlight Magic dates for 2026, giving eligible members three additional after-hours events to enjoy at Walt Disney World. EPCOT will host an event on October 15, 2026, while Disney’s Animal Kingdom has received two new dates on November 30, 2026, and December 22, 2026.

These complimentary events offer eligible members exclusive after-hours access after the theme parks close to regular guests. Attendees typically experience shorter-than-usual wait times for select attractions, character greetings, entertainment, and complimentary special treats. Members who already attended a Moonlight Magic event earlier in the year are still permitted to register for these newly added dates.

Registration for the events is required and availability will be limited. Early registration opens on September 24, 2026, for eligible members who hold qualifying Walt Disney World Resort reservations. To qualify for this early window, resort reservations and any modifications, including party size changes, had to be completed by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on September 20, 2026. General registration then opens to all eligible Disney Vacation Club members on October 1, 2026.

Eligible members are restricted to registering for only one event date during each event season. Members may register themselves and up to four additional guests per membership, or up to the number of guests listed on their qualifying resort reservation.

To attend, guests must present a valid Disney Vacation Club Digital Membership Card and a matching photo ID at check-in. The member who completed the registration must be present, and the entire registered party must check in together to gain entry.
