Hey Melissa!
Welcome to
planDisney!
You’re going to love being a
Magic Key holder! It’s going to be a year of Magic, adventure, and fun. With a Magic Key, you’ll unlock reservation-based admission to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get discounts on food and merchandise, exclusive access to the
Magic Key Terrace, early access to special events or hotel bookings, special merchandise, and depending on which Magic Key you have, you can get a discount on theme park parking or complimentary theme park parking.
When purchasing a Magic Key, payments are available for California Residents. As you mentioned there is a down payment of $179 (subject to change at any time) that is due at the time of purchase. Your first monthly payment will typically be charged within 1 to 3 days after purchase. It could also be charged on the same day of purchase. So, even though the first monthly payment is not due at the same time of purchase as your down payment is, they are charged pretty close to each other and I would plan on them both being due when your first credit card bill comes.
Well Melissa, you’re on your way to a very exciting year. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Remember, always believe in the Magic!
