Welcome back, Kathryn!
I love helping fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members maximize the magic of their Membership, and I am most happy to help you with your planDisney question. How exciting that you are looking to take advantage of the
Moonlight Magic event held exclusively for Disney Vacation Club Members and their Guests. These are very special experiences that add so much value to our Membership, as well as a bit of extra pixie dust to our vacations, with exclusive after-hours access to select theme parks, Character greetings, entertainment, and delectable treats! I am hoping to attend one this year.
Kathryn, in looking at the
Disney Vacation Club website and calling Member Services, I learned that Members can register themselves and up to four additional Guests per Membership number, for a total of five people. Alternatively, if there are more than five Guests on your reservation, you can register up to the number of Guests on your Resort reservation provided it was modified and finalized prior to January 22, 2023. Children under the age of three do not need to be registered. Please note that cancellation of your Resort reservation will cancel your event registration automatically as well.
I also want to point out, Kathryn, that the
initial registration window opens January 25, 2023, for EPCOT's Moonlight Magic event, for eligible Members with an existing Disney Resort reservation at Walt Disney World Resort or
Disney's Vero Beach Resort. For the
February 8th EPCOT event, registration opens on
February 2nd to all eligible Members pending availability and the
February 15th registration opens to all eligible Members on February 9th pending availability. Registration hasn't been posted yet for the other 2023 Moonlight Magic events, but keep checking if those are the ones in which you are interested.
It is important to note that a valid Vacation Club Digital Membership Card and photo ID are required at Check-In, and the Member who registers must be in attendance and the one who checks in the complete party. If you choose to enter the theme park prior to the Moonlight Magic start time, you will need theme park admission and a park reservation for that entry.
I recommend familiarizing yourself with the
Moonlight Magic page on the Disney Vacation Club website, and clicking on the tab that says "Know Before You Go." This section has important information that is helpful to know prior to booking your reservation and attending the event.
Member Services can also be helpful in answering any questions that may pop up while registering.
I hope I have helped you Kathryn, and if you have any additional DVC or Disney vacation planning questions, stop back and
see me here at planDisney. You've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
