Hey there, Kellie, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for coming to us with your question! We always love seeing other fellow Magic Key Holders here and I hope you've enjoyed the past year of magic that your Magic Key unlocked for you. I'm happy to hear that you're planning on renewing especially since Disney just paused sales of all new Magic Keys!
I joined the
Magic Key Program as soon as it was allowed, so I've been through two renewals now. When you choose to renew your Magic Key Pass and opt for another twelve month payment agreement (eligible only for California residents), you'll essentially begin a brand new contract with a new payment due date. The good news is that you won't be responsible for a down payment when you renew, but your card will be charged for the first payment soon after making the renewal and that will be your new payment date moving forward because it's basically a new contract. Don't worry, though, because the new Magic Key won't be active until your old one expires so you're not losing any time.
Now that the boring contract stuff is out of the way, have you been taking advantage of your Magic Key benefits? Key Holders often get a chance to purchase tickets to
Disneyland After Dark events before the general public, which is a huge deal for parties like Pride Nite which sold out this year! And have you had a chance to dine at the
Magic Key Terrace? I love it up there and it feels like our own little private club.
Kellie, I hope that this information was helpful for you and I wish you the best as you make your renewal. Please feel free to come on back whenever you have more questions. You're always welcome at planDisney and we'd love to hear from you again!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
