We’ve attended many Moonlight Magic occasions through the years, however the final one we did at Disney California Adventure nonetheless ranks on the high of my listing. The occasion featured numerous uncommon characters who had an absolute hoot enjoying video games with visitors, and the entire thing was extremely nicely carried out.
Disney Vacation Club undoubtedly places effort into these Moonlight Magic events, and it’s good to see DVC exhibiting that it cares about present Members–particularly after a few years suggesting in any other case. I’m optimistic that the return of Moonlight Magic at Disneyland Resort will embody just a few surprises, however I’m not anticipating something on par with the previous DCA occasions.
