Hi there, Stephanie! Thanks for bringing your question to us here at planDisney! It warms my heart to hear that your Disney-loving family enjoys making magical memories together at the Disneyland Resort. As a
Magic Key holder myself, I can tell you firsthand that these passes are like keys to a kingdom of year-round fun, filled with pixie dust and magical extras!
I was so excited to hear that Magic Key passes will be available for purchase again on Wednesday, January 22, 2025! This is the perfect opportunity to get your daughter her very own pass so you can unlock even more unforgettable family adventures together. Just imagine all the churros you can share, the parades you can watch side-by-side, and the character hugs you can experience as a family!
To help you prepare for this magical day, I recommend taking a peek at this super helpful
Magic Key how-to guide. It'll walk you through every step, from choosing the perfect pass for your daughter to gathering all the necessary information ahead of time to help ensure your purchasing experience is as smooth as possible. All four pass types will be available when sales resume on January 22nd. If you need help deciding between the options, check out the awesome guide on the
Magic Key page that will allow you to compare the benefits of all four pass types side-by-side.
Now, here's a tip sprinkled with a little extra pixie dust, Stephanie: Since you're a California resident, you’ll have the option of splitting the cost of the Magic Key pass through monthly payments! If this sounds like a dream come true, make sure the payment method you use during checkout is linked to your California address. And, most importantly, be sure you're logged into your Disney account before purchasing to see the monthly payment plan as an available option on the checkout page. All these details and more are outlined in the handy-dandy
Magic Key how-to guide I mentioned earlier.
Mark your calendar, set your alarm, and maybe even practice your fastest finger clicking, because Magic Key passes go on sale no earlier than 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. I’d recommend heading over to the Disneyland website a little early. The online queue will open its virtual doors no earlier than 8:45 AM Pacific Time, giving you a chance to secure your place in line before the magic officially begins at 9:00 AM. Think of it like rope drop for your computer!
Speaking of an early bird rope drop, I almost forgot to share one of my absolute favorite perks of being a Magic Key holder—it's like having a secret backstage pass to extra magic! Sometimes, we key holders get a head start with advanced access to presales for specially ticketed events. I'm a huge fan of the
Disneyland After Dark events, and Magic Key holders often get to snag those coveted tickets before they go on sale to everyone else. It's like having a fairy godmother who grants you first dibs on the most magical events! So once you get your daughter’s pass all squared away and you’ve gotten your renewals taken care of, keep your eyes peeled for those presale announcements—you never know what extra sprinkle of pixie dust might come your family’s way!
Stephanie, I'm so excited for your family's continued adventures at the Disneyland Resort! If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We're all ears (Mickey Mouse ears, of course)!
Wishing you a magical day!
Cody
