    How early can registered Moonlight Magic DVC members enter Animal Kingdom on the event date without a park ticket?

    Jambo, Karen!

    Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you are planning to enjoy one of my favorite perks of being an eligible Disney Vacation Club Member - Moonlight Magic!  With exclusive, after-hours theme park access to beloved attractions with shorter wait times, character visits, enchanting entertainment, and delectable treats - it is Member Magic indeed!

    Karen, I bet you just can't WAIT to be king - or queen - of Disney's Animal Kingdom during the Moonlight Magic event. Typically, you would have received an email by now alerting you to your arrival time, or "mix-in time," which is a time by which you are able to enter Disney's Animal Kingdom Park prior to the event without a theme park ticket. If you haven't yet received the information, you can check with one of the DVC representatives at your Resort or in one of the theme parks for the arrival time.  While the "mix in time" can vary, it is typically two hours before the event begins.

    For the event itself, be sure to bring your Digital ID card and a photo ID, as these will be required for check-in.  Also, your entire party must be present for you to check in, and the Member listed who is registered must also be present.  

    I hope this helps you, Karen, and I hope you have fun working on your ROAR at the event!  If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, trek back here to see me.

    Asante Sana,
    Keri
