    Hi do you have to do another down payment when renewing and also do if I want to upgrade do I need to give down payment

    Hello there, Alex! Welcome to planDisney! We are so glad you stopped by to ask us your question!

    Being a Magic Key holder means a whole year of park visits, and I am glad to hear you are thinking of continuing the magic into another year! California residents who are Magic Key holders can purchase the pass by making a down payment and then making monthly payments on their pass throughout the year. When it comes time to renew the pass, you do not need to make another down payment. Instead, the pass price will be split up into equal monthly payments. When you go to renew, you can choose to upgrade, downgrade, or stay with the same pass type (subject to availability). If you upgrade at renewal, a down payment is not required. If you have already renewed and are not in your renewal window anymore, you can still upgrade if the pass type you are interested in is available, but you will need to pay the difference between the two passes.

    I hope you are getting excited about all the announcements that are happening for the upcoming 70th Celebration! Right now, Magic Key holders can book a World of Color dining package for the new World of Color Happiness! show for a pre-fixe meal at Magic Key Terrace. 

    Alex, I hope this helps you decide how you want to renew your Magic Key! We are here if you have any other questions!
