Disney’s FREE After-Hours Event for Disney Vacation Club Members | MOONLIGHT MAGIC | Animal Kingdom

Join us for our first ever Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Moonlight Magic event, which took place at Disney's Animal Kingdom in October 2025.

Moonlight Magic is an exclusive after-hours event for eligible DVC members. Members and their guests can enjoy very low crowds, short wait times for attractions, complimentary snacks and beverages and rare character interactions. The event officially takes place from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Moonlight Magic guests can enter the park at 4:00pm and start enjoying the restaurants and attractions, while the park closes for day guests at 6:00pm.

We first hop onto Disney's free bus transportation to Animal Kingdom from Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. After checking-in to the park we head over to Nomad Lounge for some small plates and snacks. Nomad Lounge has some of the best churros on property, in our opinion. Bonus, they are gluten-free!

Then, we explore the beautiful land of Pandora - World of Avatar and take in the stunning scenery. The floating mountains of the Valley of Mo'ara are a sight to behold. We ride Na'vi River Journey, a gentle boat ride that the entire family can enjoy.

As the sun sets, we take in the bioluminescent elements of Pandora and experience a fun DJ Dance Party, which all the families enjoyed. We watch the Tree of Life Awakenings, which is a stunning night time projection show that lights up the Tree of Life, Animal Kingdom's iconic centrepiece.

We then make our last visit to Dinoland USA, which will be replaced by a new land called "Tropical Americas " opening in 2027. We end our night with a walk through "Asia" where we are surrounded by lanterns and immersive theming.

We try a few free treats throughout the night like a Specialty Ube Cold Brew, a ghostly crispy treat, and the famous Mickey pretzel (which is egg-allergy friendly!).

This event is for eligible DVC members and their guests. Spots are limited and registration is required. We qualified for early registration since our resort reservation fell on the same day as the event.

We have more vlogs from our Disney trip coming up so STAY TUNED! In the meantime, check out our playlist of relaxing Disney World ambiance where we wander around Disney property with soothing music playing in the background.
