Hi there, Chris,
OK, as an out-of-state visitor, I’m a little jealous. As a California resident, you would be eligible to purchase or renew a
Disneyland Resort Magic Key pass with a no-interest monthly payment plan. To qualify for this option, make sure your
Disneyland Resort account is updated with your current California address. The payment method you submit with your purchase should also be associated with your California address.
When you
purchase or
renew your Magic Key, make sure you log into your account first. That way, you’ll see the option to purchase your pass with the payment plan. A purchase of a new Magic Key pass will require a modest down payment, to begin with, plus 12 additional equal payments to pay off the remainder of the pass. Magic Key renewals do not require a new down payment, only monthly payments of the price of the pass at the time of renewal divided by 12.
Tony’s Tip: When you choose to pay for your Magic Key with the monthly payment plan, your monthly payments will be automatically scheduled and charged to the same payment method you submit with the down payment. The first monthly payment will be charged shortly after making the pass purchase. I recommend choosing a credit or debit card with an expiration date of at least a year out. If you need to update your method of payment later, you may call (800) 410-4656. Note that the
Magic Key monthly payment is separate from the payment method used for booking
dining reservations, purchasing
Disney Genie+ service and
individual Lightning Lane in the
Disneyland mobile app, and making
mobile food orders or
Merchandise Mobile Checkout purchases. Though, you may choose to set them both up to use the same method of payment if desired.
I hope that helps explain the Disneyland Resort Magic Key monthly payment plan offering, Chris. If you have any other questions about the Magic Key program or other magical aspects of visiting the Disneyland Resort, I hope you’ll visit us again here at planDisney.
See ya real soon!
