Disney Vacation Club Unveils 2027 Moonlight Magic Dates and Registration Information

Disney Vacation Club has officially announced the return of its popular Moonlight Magic events for 2027, confirming a lineup of eight complimentary after-hours celebrations across Walt Disney World. The exclusive events provide eligible members with park access after closing, featuring shorter-than-usual attraction wait times, character greetings, special entertainment, and complimentary treats.

The 2027 Walt Disney World schedule spans four distinct destinations: Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park. Magic Kingdom does not appear on the 2027 calendar.

The confirmed 2027 dates are:
– Disney’s Animal Kingdom: January 12 and May 25
– Disney’s Hollywood Studios: February 2 and March 9
– Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon: June 15, July 13, and August 24
– EPCOT: September 8

Registration for these events is required and takes place during structured online windows, with both early and general registration opening at 11 a.m. Eastern Time. Early registration is reserved for eligible members who hold a confirmed qualifying resort reservation booked using Vacation Points, Reservation Points, or cash through Member Services or DisneyVacationClub.com by the applicable deadline. General registration then opens to all eligible members with limited availability.

To help manage attendance, Disney enforces a rule allowing members to register for only one Moonlight Magic event per season. The seasons are divided into winter, spring, summer, and fall.

The winter registration window covers the January 12 Animal Kingdom event and the February 2 and March 9 Hollywood Studios events. For these dates, the resort reservation and party size cutoff is December 13, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Early registration opens on December 15, 2026, and general registration opens on December 17, 2026.

The spring registration window includes the May 25 Animal Kingdom event and the June 15 Typhoon Lagoon event. The resort reservation cutoff is April 18, 2027, with early registration opening on April 22, 2027, and general registration on April 29, 2027.

The summer registration window covers the July 13 and August 24 Typhoon Lagoon events as well as the September 8 EPCOT event. The resort reservation cutoff for these dates is May 30, 2027. Early registration opens on June 3, 2027, and general registration opens on June 10, 2027.

Eligible members may register themselves and up to four additional guests per membership, for a total party size of five, or up to the number of guests listed on their qualifying resort reservation. Children under the age of three do not need to be registered. Attendees must bring a valid Disney Vacation Club Digital Membership Card and photo identification for check-in, and the member who completed the registration must be present to check in the full party.

Details regarding Disneyland Resort Moonlight Magic events have not yet been announced, but Disney Vacation Club has teased that information on other member-exclusive offerings at Disneyland Resort is coming soon.
