Greetings, Danny! From one Magic Key holder to another, welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you stopped by, and I hope you're ready for another year filled with pixie dust, churros, and unforgettable adventures. I recently renewed my
Magic Key pass, so you’ve got a friend in me to help.
Danny, there is not currently a discount offered for renewing a Magic Key pass early. At this time, the window to
renew a Magic Key pass begins 30 days before the expiration date. It's a good idea to renew it a little on the earlier side to make sure everything is set – you won't be able to renew if the expiration date passes. And you don't want to be in a situation where you are rushing to renew before the clock strikes midnight! Since Magic Key sales are paused, if you did miss the renewal window, you'd need to wait until sales resume to purchase a new pass.
Your renewed Magic Key pass will automatically activate the day after your original pass expires. The reservations you make for the new pass are independent from the reservations you make with your current pass. That means, if you renew a little early, you'll be able to make reservations with both your current pass (up to the expiration date) and your new pass (for dates after it becomes active). Just make sure you select the right pass when making a reservation to see the correct availability.
You can also choose to upgrade or downgrade your pass when renewing, pending the availability of certain pass types. For example, my mom recently renewed her pass and upgraded to the
Believe Key. Now, she'll have the option to visit in the summer months and on Saturdays during certain times of the year. Your renewal period is the best time to evaluate which pass is best for you and make a change if desired. You couldn't currently upgrade outside of that window since Magic Key sales are paused.
Danny, you are one step closer to unlocking another year of magic at the Happiest Place on Earth, and with perfect timing, too. The
70th Anniversary Celebration is kicking off soon, bringing colorful decorations, collectible merchandise, unique entertainment, and more to the Disneyland Resort. There will be seasonal fun during Halloween Time and the Holidays, too. Make sure to follow the official
Disneyland Magic Key account on Instagram for other updates as the year goes on.
If you have any other questions, Danny, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
