Hi MaryAnn, welcome home and welcome back to planDisney! My family has been fortunate enough to attend a couple Moonlight Magic events and we simply love them! It really makes us appreciate how special
Disney Vacation Club makes us feel for being members. Now, let’s dive into your question about future Moonlight Magic events!
Currently, DVC only has
Moonlight Magic events posted through September 2026. I know this may not be the information you wanted to hear, but don’t fret! Keep an eye out for any communication from DVC regarding Moonlight Magic dates for 2027. I took the liberty of doing some previous searches for announcements of Moonlight Magic events, and saw that there has consistently been one in mid-to-late January. So keep your fingers crossed that when the announcement comes that it will align your travel dates!
Now, if you’re looking for some activities to make your trip extra special, here are some suggestions that I can offer. First, the
Top of the World Lounge - A Villains Lair at Bay Lake Tower offers DVC members a great way to get exclusive access to some unique views of Magic Kingdom. My wife and I often like going here at the end of a long day at Magic Kingdom for a nightcap and to take in the pretty lights and nighttime scenery at Magic Kingdom and across Seven Seas Lagoon. At this lounge, you’ll find both free and paid experiences, such as the Wicked Wind Down service where you’ll be treated to a cocktail and appetizer from their uniquely crafted menu.
Next, I suggest a tour like the
Keys to the Kingdom Tour. This unique experience offers a peek behind the scenes of the daily operations of Magic Kingdom. If you like to geek out on all things Disney Parks or Imagineering, this is for you! Or if you’re looking for a more adventurous experience, try the
Starlight Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. It’s a great way to see the animals in their habitat after dark.
MaryAnn, I know you were looking for more certainty on Moonlight Magic events and I’m sorry there’s not any further information that I can provide, but hopefully these suggestions might give you some insight into all of what Walt Disney World has to offer! If you have any further questions on how to make the most of your DVC membership, please feel free to
contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Sean
