Moonlight Magic Registration Rule Change
Ahead of the first Moonlight Magic registration for 2024, Disney Vacation Club has changed the verbiage in the “Know Before You Register” section on the Moonlight Magic of the DVC website. The website now states, “When staying using their Membership with Vacation Points, Reservation Points or cash, Members who booked a qualifying Resort reservation by the cutoff date will have access to early or general event registration and can register themselves and up to the number of individuals on their Resort reservation(s).”
Qualifying resort reservations are standard DVC reservations booked with Vacation Points online or over the phone with DVC, reservations booked with DVC for the Disney Collection using Reservation Points, or cash reservations booked over the phone with a DVC representative for a DVC villa.
The new policy means that reservations made at all Walt Disney World (WDW) resorts via the WDW website, by calling a WDW representative, through a travel agent or any other means NOT using an eligible DVC membership do not qualify for early registration. Previously, a standard reservation booked with cash by the deadline for any of the official WDW resorts qualified for early registration, but it absolutely does not anymore.
