Hi James! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
Currently, all sales of new
Magic Keys are paused. So, while California residents typically have the option to select a monthly payment plan when purchasing a Magic Key, they are not available for purchase at this time. Whether you pay in full or select monthly payments, you'd be eligible to use your Magic Key on days you weren't
blocked out, so long as you had a theme park reservation. Terms are subject to change.
I understand if that's disappointing. Hopefully, Magic Key sales will open again soon. I can't say when that might be, as there's been no official news. If you'd like to have more access to the magic, discounts, and perks as a Magic Key holder, you can be among the first to know when they are available again by updating your
profile to receive all communications from Disney. I'd also suggest following the
Disney Parks Blog, which is the official news source for all things related to the parks. They'll likely announce sales when they do become available. Another good one to follow is the
Disneyland Magic Key blog. It's a great resource for Magic Key holders with information on exclusives and complimentary items for Magic Key holders, but they've also announced new sales in the past.
In the meantime, there are other great ticket
offers currently available. Maybe one will be the right fit for you, so you can enjoy more time in the parks in the upcoming year. My family is excited about the Kids' Special Ticket Offer, while residents of Southern California can take advantage of the SoCal Ticket Offer. There will be a lot of new and exciting things to experience in 2024, as well as returning favorites like the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.
I hope your next trip is right around the corner. Have a magical day.
Elizabeth
