Hi Erika,
Welcome home! And welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for visiting us over here at planDisney with your question today. I love chatting with fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members about the benefits of membership! We are in the final countdown to our next Walt Disney World vacation, and my family could not be more excited. Let’s talk all things Moonlight Magic!
There are so many benefits available to Disney Vacation Club Members who are eligible for membership extras, but my favourite has to be
Moonlight Magic, an exclusive after-hours party just for members. You will enjoy reduced wait times, special member celebrations, and exclusive character meet-and-greets. We have been lucky enough to attend several of these events over the years, and one of my absolute favourites took place at
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon where we met Mickey and pals dressed as pirates!
Erika, it was great to receive the email last week from Disney Vacation Club to members eligible for Membership Extras with details about the upcoming Moonlight Magic events for 2026. It even included a couple of dates for this year, too! The exclusive member event will be coming to
Disney California Adventure Park on 23rd February 2026. Members eligible for early registration will be those with a qualifying resort reservation and will be able to register for the event on 16th December 2025. All other members eligible for membership extras will be able to register during general registration on 19th December 2025.
In my experience, when I have had a resort reservation, I have received the registration link by email a few days beforehand. If you do not receive one, or for general registration, you can visit the
Moonlight Magic page on the member website and select the RSVP Online option. Just make sure you have your membership number to hand. Please remember that the event is very popular and is subject to availability.
I hope this answers your question today, Erika. I wish you all the luck in the (Disney) world in securing your spot at Moonlight Magic when reservations open. If you have any further questions about your membership or vacation planning, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
Matt
