Hi Lynn,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
As a Disney Vacation Club Member, I give the
Moonlight Magic events 5 out of 5 moons! Or 5 out of 5 ear hats! Or whatever top rating I can give to a Disney Vacation Club Member event.
I attended the Moonlight Magic events at
Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and absolutely loved both events. The overall party atmosphere was so much fun and so high-energy. We really felt like we were a part of something special. The refreshment and snack stations located at different spots around the party made it easy to enjoy treats all throughout the event. The wait times for the attractions were shorter. For example, at Magic Kingdom Park we pretty much just walked on to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
For me, the real joy was the chance to meet and greet favorite and rare Disney character friends. At Moonlight Magic at Magic Kingdom Park, Moana and I talked all about her island adventures. At Moonlight Magic at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, I met one of my childhood favorites, Jiminy Cricket.
The Moonlight Magic events we attended allowed for early access to the theme park about 3 hours before the event. I definitely suggest taking advantage of the early access if it's available. I also suggest checking out the event guide for Character Greetings you're really interested in, as some of the greeting lines can be a wait, and the fun evening will feel like it goes by really fast.
Lynn, here's hoping you get to enjoy some wonderful Moonlight Magic.
Jerry
