Hiya, Katie, and welcome to
planDisney!
I’m so excited to hEAR that you’re thinking about purchasing a
Magic Key Pass, which is the new name for an Annual Passport. I’m a Magic Key holder myself, and I love the amazing
discounts and benefits that come along with this membership.
Here’s how it works – your Magic Keys
will be activated when you first use them to enter a
Disneyland Resort theme park. Then, your passes will be valid for one year from the date of activation. Though your park privileges won’t be available until your passes are activated, you can still make your park reservations so long as your passes have not expired. If for some reason you’re not able to activate your passes within a year, the passes would expire and could no longer be activated or used to make a park reservation.
So, I think it’s a great idea to go ahead and purchase your Magic Keys now in anticipation of your August visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. Just keep in mind that
two Magic Keys are currently sold out, including the Dream Key and the Believe Key. The Enchant Key and the Imagine Key, however, are both still available, though the Imagine Key is only available for Southern California Residents living in zip codes 90000 to 93599.
I hope this information helps in your decision to purchase a Magic Key, Katie! Please stop by with any additional questions… we’re all EARs!
Wishing you a magical year ahead,
Kristin
