Moonlight Magic at AK

[erionm]

Was just noticing that the Typhoon Lagoon one opened reservations on 3/30, first event date being 6/28, so I've gotta think we're really close since the first AK date is 9/6.....

Actually, the first TL event is on 6/23. Regardless, booking for the DAK event could start anytime during the next 30 days or so.

Thanks, was just circling back to correct that as I noticed it on the DVC site.

I assume each event opened individually? How did the MK event timing work as far as reservations?

They opened online booking for all nights of the event simultaneously.

I'm hoping for Sept 13th. <Fingers crossed that they don't move the date (I've seen them move the MK March and TL June a day or so) - I have flights booked.>

I'm anxiously waiting for news on Epcot events. Guess after AK booking opens I'll go on full alert!

They just updated the DVC site. Guests with reservation can book starting June 15th everyone else can start booking on June 22nd.

Thank you for this info.

Do you think there will be a ROL showing during the Moonlight Magic hours?

Unknown, but I'm leaning towards no.

Current RoL schedule for September is shows only 4 nights per week (Sun, Tues, Thur & Sat).

Sweet! Hopefully I can remember to call to book on Thursday. Anyone know how fast the MK ones filled up?

Booking will be online only. IIRC, it took about 6 weeks for the MK events to fully book up.

Oh great, good to know, thanks! Now I just need to decide which dates and whether the AK one in Sept would be more fun than the Epcot one in Dec.

Does anyone know what the process is for regular park guests? Are they ushered out promptly like the Halloween/Christmas parties or allowed to walk around like EMH? Specifically wondering about Pandora.

This is our first DVC after hours event, very excited!

...and as quickly as it went up, it came down. DW saw it this morning and texted me because we will be there and plan on booking. I come home tonight to check out the details and it's gone. Back to the original holding page.

Regular park guests will NOT be allowed to just walk around like EMH. If they follow the same procedures as last year, you will show your credentials and you get fitted with a wrist band. Because they have open tables with snacks, drinks, ice cream etc. they don't just allow regular guest to remain in the park.

Ah, of course. I forgot about the free snacks. Thank you.
