Welcome to planDisney, Vanessa!
I'm so glad that you are looking into the new
Magic Key passes! As a California resident, you'll be able to take advantage of the monthly payment option after paying a down payment. At this time, the $179 down payment is the only amount allowed for the monthly payment option.
With your new Magic Key, you'll be able to enjoy discounts on select merchandise, food, and beverages around the parks. Plus, if you purchase your Magic Key within the first 66 days that they are available, you'll get a nifty welcome package! The package includes a special magnet, button, lanyard, pin, and a unique Disneyland Resort map. You'll receive this welcome package at the mailing address on file about 6-8 weeks after you purchase your Magic Key.
Finally, don't forget to
make a theme park reservation for each day you want to visit the parks with your Magic Key. Magic Key holders can hold from two to six theme park reservations at a time depending on the type of Magic Key they have. You can make reservations up to 90 days in advance and will use a different calendar than guests who have day tickets.
I hope you have a wonderful time using your Magic Key all year long at the Happiest Place on Earth!
