Moonlight Magic Dates 2026 - Dates have been released!

[Brian Noble]

I am once again channeling my Inner Curmudgeon, but:

The point of MM is not to give existing DVC members an opportunity to spend some "free" time in the theme parks. The point of MM is to sell DVC points to people by allowing them to imagine what it would be like to be so special as to be Disney's favored guests.

If DVD is simply looking for good press, then why offer so many MM nights?

Why not, for example, just offer one MM night for each of the five locations hosting MM? Non DVC members are still going to read about the “free night at Epcot” (for example).

Instead, DVD offered 12 MM nights, much more than are needed for good press.

What does DVD gain by offering so many nights?

Perhaps at least part of it is:

• Existing DVC members are much more likely to buy add-on points than the random non-DVC member.
• Word-of-mouth from existing DVC members is one of the best ways to attract new members.

Either way, it benefits DVC to make many current DVC members happy.

They were offering a luggage tag if you brought someone to talk DVC to sign up during MM, no chance I’m spending any of my precious 3 hours of MM talking to sales people.

I am always skeptical of arguments of the form: "It is in Big Company's best interests to do the thing I happen to want."

None line up…but my Sept dates haven’t been decided so maybe that one.

I was able to get a night in CA and I was able to somehow talk my husband to extending our 10 night (cruise included) into a 12 night for April. So if I am lucky enough to get tickets at registration time I will be able to attend 2 MM. Wanted to add I was able to get the FL room using home resort priority since it was just before 7 months out. TBH I think they should release MM dates before 7 months even if that means not releasing all dates all at once.
