Disneyland Magic Key 2024 EXPLAINED by Pass Type 

I appreciate this so much! Very kind of you and glad these are useful! 🤩

Thanks for the video!! Do you know if passes are still available for purchase? Cause I go on the sight and it says only available for renewals.

I got 1

Hi! Once you’ve made your park reservation in the app, you can just go to the turnstiles at the park and you’ll be allowed in on the day that you reserved

Payment plans are usually only for California residents so you have to prove that (I think with the zip code attached to your credit card). But no credit check is required

Visit the link at 830am and wait for the time to open sometime after 9am. Once the queue opens, the page should refresh:

disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/

@@DavidVaughn So once I join the queue after around 9am, am I able to buy the magic key pass right away or do I have to wait?

I would make sure to be ready at 830am PST and then wait for the queue to open!

Thanks! A Magic Key only allows entry for one person and is exclusive to that person. However, Magic Key Terrace does allow you to bring guests. You could bring all of those people with you into the lounge as long as there is availability. However because the lounge is inside Disney California Adventure, everyone will need to have paid admission into that park in order to dine there

You can buy any of the annual passes except for the Imagine Key

Reservations can be tricky, especially during busy dates. However, most of the time if you check the night before after 10pm, you’ll often see that folks cancel last minute and you can book. I realize that’s not very assuring for a 3-day visit so maybe another ticket option will be your best bet versus the Imagine Key

Thank you every year I buy the SoCal Pass and this year I thought I’d get the Imagine Key….thanks again for the info

Hey, so if you’re blocked you won’t be able to book a reservation in advance and so you won’t be able to visit the day

You just make a reservation at one park and you can hop after 11am

We dont know how the queue will work until it launches on Wednesday. Usually you can go back and purchase again without waiting

@@DavidVaughn Thanks for letting me know. I wish there was an easier way! I bought 2x 3day so cal tickets that they say i can "upgrade" so long as I scan the first day in the park and that way, on the 10th I could simply choose to upgrade those tickets via the app without getting taken to the normal queue. So long as my key is still available i would be able to do that. Have you heard/done such a thing before?

Just ignore that, it’s not relevant but the only screenshots I could grab

@@DavidVaughnwhat if it still says it and what does only 2 reservations mean only up to 2 people?

Can you further explain what you mean? I’m not sure what the question is

A Magic Key can’t make reservations for other people, only for the person who owns it

Here’s what Disneyland says about Upgrades: A Guest wishing to upgrade to a Pass from another form of eligible Disneyland Resort theme park admission media must upgrade on the same day in which the original form of theme park admission media is valid, and must choose a Pass of equal or greater value than the retail price of the original theme park admission media when it was purchased. The difference in prices must be paid in full at the time of the upgrade. If an upgrade to a Pass is made from a multi-day ticket, the Pass will be backdated to begin on the first day that such ticket was used; if an upgrade to a Pass is made from a lower level Pass, the new Pass will have the same expiration date as the original Pass. Each guest wishing to upgrade their theme park admission media to a Pass must be present at the time of the upgrade transaction. Fully used, or partially used and expired, theme park admission media, complimentary ticket media, special event ticket media and ticket media stating its ineligibility for an upgrade may not be upgraded to a Pass. Upgrades may be available from time to time or at no time, as determined in Disney’s discretion. Additionally, upgrades are subject to Pass availability as determined by Disney. Downgrades are not allowed.

Whoever uses the Imagine Key must also be a SoCal resident

I’m still waiting for payment plan information. I’ll update as soon as I have the details and I’ll comment here again

@davidvaughn any updates?

Are you looking more than 90 days in advance? Since you can only book 90 days in advance, days after that are usually blank

Where are all the keys still available when you got your?

@@jay_cee1929 Yes all 3 were available when it let me in at like 6pm but I just chose the enchant key. It was definitely giving me a hard time just to add it to my cart and I think they sold out right after.

You pay $189 down and the rest are equal monthly payment, varies depending on the pass you get. Payments are only available for California residents. Everyone else has to pay in full

Thank you! And if you don't pay monthly, then the prices listed are yearly payments? @@DavidVaughn​

Here’s the Magic Key access calendar that shows blockout dates. All keys on sale have at least some blockouts: disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/
