Disney Vacation Club
Disney Vacation Club or DVC is Disney’s timeshare. Members book rooms and stay in deluxe accommodations for a fraction of the cost. Check out all the details of DVC HERE.
Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members are able to get certain perks. These perks include things like special event previews (example Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), discounts, exclusive merchandise, Member Lounges, and even special events like Moonlight Magic. Check out my (Heather) review on the latest Moonlight Magic event HERE.
Recently, we shared DVC Moonlight Magic events would be returning next year! Check out the details so far HERE.

The following sentence: "only DVC Members who have purchased directly from Disney and are eligible for Membership Extras can attend" has an error. Plenty of DVC members purchased resale prior to the restrictions and are eligible for this.

Unfortunately, that is how the DVC website reads. However, if you have been grandfathered in for Membership Extras I would think you would qualify for this too. The best way is to check with Member Services to see if you qualify. Hope you can attend this fun event if you are going! Thank you for reading.
