Moonlight Magic Changes: Good or Bad?

3/26/2025
DVC made some changes to Moonlight Magic Registration. Are they good or bad? Historically, you could open multiple tabs on multiple devices and browsers. Every tab would enter a virtual queue. When one of your tabs exited the queue, you could enter your member number for validation and register for the event. The strategy worked great for those who knew how to work the system. As of March 2025, the first step is to enter your member number for validation. That member number is assigned a location in the queue. If you open multiple tabs, they will all validate but get the same queue number. There's no longer a benefit to the multiple tabs strategy. Is this change good or bad? Episode 332
