    My magic key expires on February 27 2026 and I'm renewing this time can I renew in September of 2025 to make sure I don't run into any problems ? Would it still expires in February 27 2027? Or a different date

    Greetings, Shawna. From one Magic Key holder to another, welcome to planDisney! I love that you're planning ahead and thinking about when and how to renew your pass. While it would be too early to renew in the fall, considering the expiration date of your pass, you should have no problem setting yourself up for another year of magical visits when the time comes. Let's get into it!

    Shawna, your renewal window will open 30 days before your Magic Key pass expires. You should receive an email with a link to start the renewal process once that window opens, and if you have notifications enabled on the Disneyland mobile app, you may also receive a message on your phone. For good measure, you can mark your calendar to start looking into renewing near the end of January 2026. The window offers plenty of time to get everything situated. As long as you don't let the expiration date come and go, you should be fine.

    I've found it easiest to renew my Magic Key pass on the Disneyland website. Log into your Disney account and visit the pass renewal page. All Magic Keys linked to your account should be listed. From here, select the pass level you'd like to renew at and follow the prompts to complete your purchase. If you prefer to start the renewal process via the Disneyland mobile app, scroll down to the "Magic Key Portal" tile on the home screen and tap "Enter Portal." Scroll down and tap "Renew Magic Key Passes" under "Quick Links." This will take you to a webpage, where you'll again scroll down and tap the "Renew Now" button. 

    Aside from making sure everything is set, there's another benefit to renewing early. When you renew on the earlier side of your renewal window, you should be able to make theme park reservations with both your current pass (up to the expiration date) and your new pass (starting with the renewal date). That way, you might be able to hold a few extra reservations! Just make sure you select the right pass when making a reservation to see the correct availability.

    As far as the expiration date of your new pass goes, the Magic Key Terms and Conditions state that a renewed Magic Key pass will automatically activate the day after the original pass expires. That means the expiration date would essentially stay the same, but one year later.

    Don't forget about the extras you can unlock with your Magic Key pass. There may be giveaways, exclusive merchandise, special offers, and more, not to forget discounts on dining and merchandise at select locations. Get details on the Magic Key Portal in the Disneyland mobile app or on the Disneyland website

    Shawna, I hope you have many fun visits planned during Halloween Time and the holiday season. January will be here before we know it, and I'll wish upon a star that the renewal process goes smoothly for you. If you have any other questions, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!

    Your pal,
    Kriss
