Moonlight Magic Returns: More Dates Added for DVC Members in 2024 and 2025. Last April 23rd, 2024, I had the privilege of joining Disney Vacation Club members at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for Moonlight Magic. This free event for members is an after-hours event held all throughout the year at one of three Parks and one water park here at Disney World. Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon.
On the evening I went, which you can watch our video below, I got a chance to meet some very rare characters with minimum lines, rode Flight of Passage with no wait times, ate my weight in Mickey Bars, enjoyed the Tree of Life vibrant show, and spent one of the best spring evenings of my life at a Disney Parks.
Now, Disney Vacation Club has just announced the 2025 dates for Disney World and a night in Disney’s California Adventure. But that’s not all! Now I feel like a salesman, But Wait! There’s More! (insert music) DVC has also announced 3 extra dates at Animal Kingdom for 2024! The best part of the 2024 announcement is these nights are open for registration even if you have already gone to another after-hours this year!
