Welcome Home, Linda! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. Any
Disney Vacation Club Member is a friend of mine, and I'm happy to help with your question to add a bit of (Moonlight) magic to your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It looks like you're arriving next week, so we don't have a moment to lose. Let's get right to it!
There are so many great benefits available to DVC Members, and without a doubt, one of my very favorites is
Moonlight Magic. These after-hours events are offered throughout the year exclusively for Members and their Guests and feature all sorts of fun! Typically, you'll enjoy shorter lines for your favorite attractions, special Character greetings, refreshments, and exclusive Member merchandise. Some of our best DVC memories came at an
EPCOT Moonlight Magic when my daughters encountered Santa Duffy for a priceless photo, we had MANY Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, and rode
Frozen Ever After about eight times!
Linda, the demand for tickets for Moonlight Magic is quite high, and between the early registration (open to Guests with a DVC reservation that matches up with the event date) and the general registration (open to all eligible Members), the events usually book up quickly. When I looked on the website, the general registration for the December 10 event shows as closed, which means that unfortunately there are no longer tickets available. I recommend bookmarking the Moonlight Magic page so you can stay up-to-date on future events.
In the meantime, there are plenty of
Member Benefits that you can take advantage of during your visit! Many Walt Disney World restaurants and shops offer discounts for DVC Members, and there are also typically discounts for some tours and other events. This includes tickets to
Drawn to Life, the Cirque du Soleil show at
Disney Springs. It is simply amazing and I highly recommend it! Keep in mind that the available benefits are subject to change, but as you're in the home stretch of your vacation countdown, what's showing now should likely be in place during your trip.
Linda, I hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation! You're sure to be in the holiday spirit taking in the sights, sounds, and snacks of the season at Walt Disney World. Thank you again for visiting planDisney, and please don't hesitate to reach out anytime if we can assist with other questions.
Stay Magical!
