Moonlight Magic for Epcot?

[Bonnie1222]

I didn't get an email either. DH called member services inquiring about the email only some of us received and was told that members would receive an email on the 24th to sign up.

What time would the reservations open up, particularly on the November 7th date? This is, of course, assuming that there will be spots available by that date... It seems to me that this is a longer time period than the other Moonlight Magic events in terms of guests with on-site accommodations vs. others.

Thanks for the information on the signup date. I never get the emails for some reason although they have my correct email address.

That's correct. You just have to be a DVC member with a confirmed reservation for that time period. It doesn't matter how it was booked.

The email actually said staying on a DVC reservation but like most things they apparently changed.

For those veterans who have attended a moonlight magic event, what exactly is this and happens? We will be there for the December 4th event at EPCOT.

Great! We will have one guest who has never been to Epcot, and I think it will be a fun night. We have an ADR at Trattoria at a good time to enter Epcot while some of the other attractions are opened.

Now to remember to sign up up!!

I wondered how this would go regarding what part of the park would be available... Am I the only one disappointed that it seems like only FutureWorld will be open?

I thought it looked like the least offerings of the park parties - but then Epcot is a little short on attractions anyway. For overall space it's probably about the size of the other parks! I was rather expecting Frozen though, and maybe the Ride in Mexico too assuming Frozen was open. Or things like Nemo and Livin with the Land. But it's possible those last two still will be and just aren't being publicized.

I don't mind, because now we can spend more time with the characters. And do Frozen Ever After fastpass during the day instead of Soarin

I am disappointed. I had hoped World Showcase would be open, and characters and refreshments there., rather than Future World.

 

[disneynutz]

Guess we can expect long lines and waits.

I am still hoping that maybe Norway to Intl Gateway in World Showcase will be open, with some type of special showing of Illuminations That should be plenty of viewing area since it will be a smaller crowd. Fingers crossed that it will be a holiday surprise!

This would be wonderful. They set the bar with the MK Moonlight Magic.

I have to say that I am glad entrance will be at 7:30, so there will be time to see things in World Showcase, plus Illuminations with the holiday tag.

 

[spiceycat]

Will the monorail still be opened that night when the party ends?
staying at the Polyn probably with 4 others and would like to know before hand if I need to plan on the buses to get back?

 

[Bronte]

If future world is the only part open and I booked the beachclub that means we will have to take the bus at midnight.
That really stinks !!!
No frozen ride, no walks around the lagoon and possibly no fireworks are all very disappointing.
We can ride spaceship earth anytime, we will not ride mission space so that just leaves two rides :-(
