2026 Moonlight Magic Dates Posted! (and additional 2025 dates as well)

There are two of us booked into a DVC room. So can a MM reservation only be made for two, or can we make a reservation for four and have a couple of local friends accompany us?

You would need to add your friends’ names to the room reservation, and do so before the final MM cut off date to make any room changes. Then you can register with all the names and will get tickets for everyone. Technically we can get up to as many as our room’s max occupancy, and even more if you happened to book another room using your membership.

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that you could always have at least 5 people at a MM, even if you were in a room that only held 4 people (or, I suppose 2). The MM rules state…

Party Size Limits
A Member may register themselves and up to 4 additional Guests per Membership (for a total of 5)—or up to the number of Guests on their Resort reservation, so long as the Resort reservation was updated with the correct Guest information before the Resort reservation/modification deadline.

This seems to imply that you can always register for 5 and if you have a 2BR or GV, you could have more if they were on the reservation.

I’m really not sure, but I do know they’ve never checked for names on the reservation. I just need to show my Blue Card/ID/Magic Band and we’re all in.

I mention and ask this because I’m presently in a room for 4 but will probably still try for 5.

Decisions, decisions...I currently have a reservation booked the week before the July 20 event for a family milestone celebration. We could delay the trip a week for a belated celebration, but it would definitely be disappointing if we moved the reservation and weren't able to secure the Moonlight Magic.

We've never been able to do Moonlight Magic before and would certainly love to experience it though...

Ooh yeah, tough decision.

I was really torn as well. Ended up moving our dates because the Hollywood Studios option seems really fun and we’ve only done 1 MM so far. Figured it was worth a shot.

Hope it all works out great - whichever you decide.

Yes, you’re right. I forgot about that. And if you have more than one room booked they will accept the total max occupancy combined, but you do need all those guests listed on the reservations.
