Disneyland Magic Key passes have been restored after being placed on hold in order to manage summer crowds at the Southern California theme parks. However, prices have risen significantly.
The Magic Key was introduced by Anaheim Park in August after it reopened following its 13-month-long pandemic shutdown. The Dream Key was priced at $399 to $1399, while the Magic Key was available at a variety of price points. The new pricing now allows you to choose from $449 to $1599.
Beginning Aug. 18, pass holders will be able to renew their Magic Key passes for 12 months, but no new passes will be sold if you don’t already have one, according to the L.A. Times.
The Inspire Key is the most expensive plan at $1,599 per year. It replaces the Dream Key and includes unlimited photo downloads and a 20% discount on the Disney Genie+ app, which lets you skip lines on popular rides. But you’ll still have to buy individual tickets from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1 as the pass does not include access during the busy holiday season.
Here are the prices for the remaining Magic Key passes.
The Believe Key is available from $949 to $1099. It has 48 block-out dates around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but includes unlimited digital photo downloads and the 20% discount on Disney Genie+.
The Enchant Key is available from $649 up to $699. It has 149 block-out dates, including most of June and July and the days around Thanksgiving and Christmas. You get a 25% discount on standard parking, and 20% off the line jumping app.
The Imagine Key, which is only available to Southern California residents, goes up from $399 to $449. It offers 218 block-out dates which means weekends and most of summer are out. It includes 25% off standard parking and the 20% discount on Disney Genie+.
Last year, a woman who bought the $1,399 pass sued the resort over the policy that requires parkgoers, even those with annual passes, to make a reservation at either Disneyland or the adjoining Disney California Adventure Park.
May, a judge dismissed Disney’s efforts to have the $5 million suit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts dismissed. Jenale Nielsen, Santa Clara County, filed her suit on behalf all Magic Key annual passholders. She claimed that the resort had relegated them. “second class”By artificially limiting reservations for a day, ticket holders are able to limit the number of tickets they have.
