Disney Vacation Club (DVC) has added three Moonlight Magic nights for fall 2026, and early registration opens September 24 at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Moonlight Magic offers complimentary after-hours park access for qualifying members, with limited capacity. We'd keep your existing plans flexible until you have a confirmed spot.
Which fall dates fit your trip?
Disney's registration page lists these three events:
- EPCOT: Thursday, October 15, 2026
- Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Monday, November 30, 2026
- Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Tuesday, December 22, 2026
There's a welcome extra chance for returning attendees, too. Eligible members may register for one of these added dates even if they've already attended Moonlight Magic in 2026.
September 24 or October 1: which window is yours?
September 24 early registration is for eligible members with qualifying resort reservations. Those bookings and modifications, including party-size changes, had to be completed by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on September 20. Increasing the number of guests afterward won't increase your event party size.
If that window doesn't apply to you, general registration opens October 1 for eligible members, with limited availability. Before rearranging your trip, check DVC's official Moonlight Magic details to confirm which membership and resort-reservation requirements apply to you.
Have your membership number ready
Disney asks you to have your 12-digit DVC membership number ready. Its waiting room says anyone already there when registration opens gets a random queue position, regardless of how early they arrived. People joining afterward enter in numerical order.
Once you're in the queue, don't refresh the page. Disney warns that you'll lose your place.
When it's time, head to Disney's official registration waiting room with your membership number handy.
