We also discuss:

• EPCOT weddings and Disney Fairy Tale Weddings
• Meeting friends on Disney Cruise Line vacations
• Disney Wish memories

Moonlight Magic sounds like a dream: after-hours access, shorter wait times, exclusive characters, and yes… free snacks.

But does it actually live up to the hype?

In Episode 252, Scott and Karen break down the April 22, 2026 Moonlight Magic event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios— from the struggle to get registered to what the night actually felt like once you’re inside the park.

Was it truly “exclusive,” or just another crowded Disney event with better lighting?

Plus, we cover the latest Disney news, including:

• A new V.I.PASSHOLDER lounge coming to EPCOT’s former Restaurant Marrakesh
• Leota Toombs and Kim Irvine honored with a Main Street, U.S.A. window at Disneyland Park
• Free water park access for Disney Resort guests starting in 2026

If you’re a Disney Vacation Club member — or thinking about becoming one — this episode breaks down whether Moonlight Magic is actually worth it… or just another Disney scramble.
