Great!On Friday they definitely let people in early. We got there at 7pm and they were letting people in right away.

No food stands were open.
D-Trick, you mentioned way more people than you thought. I felt that way last year....it was amazing to see all those DVC Members!
Check in early and get there early. Disney bus there will work but it stops at DS first. I only saw a few of these running late when we left around 10:15. If you drive (we did) expect crazy traffic after 7 and worse going back. If you drive back in the direction towards World Drive, there is heavy construction so be patient. The road backs up with traffic from the party and DS.
I found the Mears buses smelly and I couldn't tolerate it. That's why we drove. They also picked up after 7 closer to 7:30.
This was my first moonlight magic event. Bear with me, as I live in CA and haven't been to Typhoon Lagoon in quite some time.
Traffic - Get there early. Too many cars converging at Typhoon Lagoon at once. Turning left from Disney Springs into the park only about 5-6 cars could turn left per green light. The trailing cars often "blocked the box."
Parking - Overflow was on the grass up the access road. I got into the parking lot at 810ish and got a spot in the 3rd to last row in the paved lot.
Towels - free/provided. ...
Yes, there was a Moonlight Magic Pin.(sorry, I should have multi-quoted!) Another very helpful post; thank you!
Somewhere I think I read someone who mentioned there being a pin for the event. Did anyone see a Moonlight Magic pin, or did I read that wrong? I'm not interested in the shirt, but the pin might grab me.
On the characters -- did any of them sign autographs, or just photos? Were they out the whole time, or was there a schedule?
Photopass Photographers -- were there any?
Thanks again everyone for such helpful reports and information. I really appreciate it! n2mm - we'll be there on the 13th, too!
FYI: for the 6/23 event, the bus was only available from the Springs bus stop.Thanks everyone for posting details! We are staying at SSR and going tonight.
Yes, as long as it's before the regular park closing time (7 pm).If we have a waterpark AP . can we go inside to reg and get band?
As far as characters, for us Geni was the easiest. We stood in a short line for pictures as we were leaving the park. You can't miss him as you start to exit.
We got our bands at BC, no problem, no line!
We arrived at 7, we drove and enjoyed the lazy river for awhile, then treats, Wave pool and dancing. We left at 10, the party was going strong. It was a wonderful night!!

Sometime around 6:30, probably a bit earlier, maybe 6:20.What time did you get your bands at BC
Dvc person will get there at about 5:55 and registration starts at 6 on the dot. It's on the beach club side where you'd check in (just left of when you walk in the door).Sometime around 6:30, probably a bit earlier, maybe 6:20.

We drove and got there about 6:15. First in line at park with bands. Didn't matter since they wouldn't let you in. Got held with everyone until about 6:45 then we all got let in.
Had a blast.
I am not 100% certain, but when we checked in at our resort, the CM had a tablet that he looked up our reservation. I would imagine that you could check in at any resort since it was all electronic.I think it's been asked but I didn't see the answer... do you have to check in at the DVC resort you are staying at? Or can you check in at any DVC resort and then drive over to TL?
