So how was it? Going next week! Any pointers?
My daughter said there weren't any really rare ones, but she took photos with Darth Maul, Rey and Chewbacca, Captain Phasma, and a Jawa. Plus some first order troopers. BB8 and Dath Vader and Lotso from Toy Story 4 were there but she didn't wait for them. Plus Mickey and Minnie and Buzz and Woody were there in their usual locations but with a much shorter line. She didn't want to wait for them either.
She also got some photos with Frozone, and of Chip and Dale in rescue ranger costumes at the dance party.
Thanks! We went through and read all the menus so we get some good food without wasting a whole lot of time.There’s a little bit of variation. Vouchers were good at KRNR The Rock Station, Dockside Diner, Backlot Express, Rosie’s All American Café, Catalina Eddie’s, and Fairfax Fare, so you could order any entree off the regular menus at any of those.

This is from the food voucher from last Wednesday that someone posted online:If I remember reading something from the falltime Moonlight Magic from 2018, they roll back on how long each place is open. Something like Backlot Express and Fairfax Fare are open until midnight, but the others close at 9. I may be wrong about this, but it is something to keep in mind in case you are really hoping for one item from a specific place.

Ugh, good to know. Thanks for the warning. I had gone through and picked out what I wanted. At least I won’t be blind-sided in the moment if it’s not available.Just an FYI. While they use the normal menu for the location it is not the FULL menu. I know this because I had looked at the menu online and had decided I wanted this really good sounding grilled chicken sandwich. When we went to get dinner it wasn’t on the overhead menu and I thought the website hadn’t been updated but I asked the cashier just to be sure. She indicated that they were offering a limited menu for the DVC party. This was definitely the case because a couple days later I went into Backlot Express For a drink and the chicken sandwich I had wanted was on the menu that day along with a couple other entrees not offered at the party.
If I recall correctly my friend had a similar experience at one of the places on Sunset BLvd too. This happened at the Oct 2018 events
Good report!We went. It was great. We didn't meet any characters. We got there around 7:30. We ate. The lines for food were crazy, which we expected. We opted not to watch the fireworks or do the special showing of Fantasmic. We rode Rockn roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Alien SS, TSM, SDD, and Star Tours. We also had ice cream bars and walked around the new Incredibles area. Lines weren't too bad. The longest we waited was for SDD about half an hour, which we did towards the end of the night.
Good report!
How limited were the food offerings?
Were the lines not too bad all night, or primarily during events, like the fireworks and Fantasmic, that draw people away?
We had a great time at the party. Got there pretty early and got a wrist band right away with no wait. Headed over to Backlot and redeemed our vouchers for dinner. We were then able to get on Swirling Saucers with less than a 10 minute wait (around 8:30), then on to wait in SDD line for about 45 mins, got to watch the SW fireworks while waiting. Met Lotso, DW met Darth Vader while DD and I munched on Mickey Bars. Signed the Riviera drywall, did ToT and DD did the dance party for a bit (danced with Goofy, Max Goof, Chip and Dale), then some shopping and on our way out. Only thing we felt like we missed was TSSM, which had a 45 min wait and we had done earlier in the trip.
Overall, I think it was a great event. We did the VIPassholder event the next night at Epcot and while that was cool also, not nearly as much as the Moonlight Magic - no free food of course, and dance party had no characters, we also felt rushed since it was 1 hour shorter.
