Edit to add above.

Thought I’d start a thread for Moonlight Magic Dates for 2026. Last year they released on Monday Sept 9th so I thought we may have seen it this week… but nothing.

I hope it’s soon!

 

[Sandisw]

I thought at the very least we’d know if they were doing some additional AKV ones!

 

[buffalobasingal]

Following to stay updated...

 

[buzzrelly]

Following! Hoping at least one of my trips lines up!

Whew— was just thinking I may have missed it.

If I recall correctly, 2024 MM dates weren’t released until late November? Possibly I’m confused but I thought it happened while we were on our first Aulani trip.

I have been stalking the site for this announcement every morning hour for the past week. I’m driving myself crazy with it.give me the dates. Lol

Noooo. November doesn’t work for me. I need to cancel a night or 2 if I guessed my dates wrong and bank those points by end of this month.

No the late Q4 2024 dates were announced in the 9/9 email at the same time as the 2025 dates. Well over 30 days notice for the October event.

Hoping to hear something soon now that welcome home weeks are ending today. Hopefully they want to get more "good news" out there for potential direct buyers.

I like the way you think.

Positive thoughts for the dates to drop soon.

 

[Jodo98]

In other years i think they did the announcement later in the year. Maybe November.

Hoping for the same! My current trip would possibly match up if they add something towards the end of October like last year. It would be our arrival night if days align. Last year early registration opened on 9/19 for the added dates. They are cutting it close or there won't be any additional nights.

NOOOO!!!! We are at WDW from Dec 1-10 and Jan 25-27! We were hoping for at least one MM date during our visits.

 

[Brian Noble]

I always assume they will never happen while I am there. That way I am never disappointed!

are you $g&l! kidding me? I thought I knew when CA would be. I was wrong, so wrong.

I have not gotten email so thank you for posting.

I was able to book a duo studio (accessible) for the DCA one. That is later in the month next year - day before my birthday, so Happy Birthday to me!

I didn't get an email either

I was just looking at the website to see what they did last year and BAM! It had 2026 dates...
