Moonlight Magic is BACK!

It's worth pointing out they were turning people away before 9:00 at the popcorn booths. I assume because they didn't have the buckets.

Buckets were suppose to start at 10. However,
We were able to get one at Canada with maple popcorn at 7:30 and got our others at 9 at the cart by imagination but sounds like that was by accident since they started early not sure if they continued or stopped till 10. They just need to do popcorn buckets from 6 on and that would have helped alot. Some reported no popcorn at one but the one by creations still had popcorn at midnight.

Starting the buckets at 6:00 would have helped a ton. They really needed more places to redeem the vouchers after 9:00. More/better signage too.

were the buckets special buckets or just normal ones

They say Moonlight Magic on them. Could have sworn they were smaller than normal ones but that must have been a trick of the design. They stacked exactly in our regular bucket.
The buckets are a nice, small touch. Just the logistics of them that was awful.

Where the vouchers were not accepted at food booths do you think it was just that they weren't aware of them or that they truly were not supposed to accept them? If the latter then DVC could instantly improve by listing where they are accepted.

I'm also surprised to hear that Sunshine Seasons had so little. Grapes, carrots, cheese? Was that really it? Almost a why bother?

those that we tried to use vouchers and were turned away knew about them. They said a green shirt CM was supposed to tell people. Sadly understaffed, no signage, and the one CM was preoccupied with other guests.

Sunshine Seasons had the limited menu of fruit/cheese cup and lunchbox grapes/carrots. Their kitchens were closed with CM cleaning up. No prep for additional food aside from maybe more fruit/cheese.

The overall lack of food was bad. We assumed world showcase kiosks or something else would be open for a late dinner. Nope. Our family was grumpy.

popcorn buckets should have been filled in advance. The lines were ridiculous.

Hopefully they will figure this out and fix it. Though lately it seems they are half a-ing it. Like the 50th on 10/1. I expected guest speakers, 50th shows and maybe a button. But all there was were buckets and stuff for sale. Only good thing is while everyone was on line for buckets we took advantage of the short ride lines. Maybe that was their plan here. Have everyone on a bucket line and not on the rides?

 

[MushuHill]

Did anyone even have their band checked? I never had anyone ask to see it when I got on a ride. Most of the show case-between Norway and France was blocked off and you could not even walk there. I guess they decided there were no rides so no reason to be there. We did catch a couple having wedding pictures taken by Remy’s when we were in line.

And if anyone is curious about merch, there is a DVC spirit jersey and a button down shirt. Nothing dated or specific to this event.

They were in the store of the Poly the night before though - don’t waste time trying to get them!

Nope. You could use a voucher to get one.

The water thing was extreme. I’m not happy about that at all. It was crazy. I had to go mama bear and beg strangers to let me cut in for water after hours of unfruitful attempts to GET THEM WATER
