Hi, Kyle!
I just met you, but I can tell that you're the kind of friend I'd love to have! Surely the magical Genie himself never had a friend quite like you! You're in the business of granting wishes, and I'm a big fan of making Disney wishes come true, so we're going to make quite the dynamic duo today. Let's make some magic!
There are a few provisos and conditions around renewing a
Magic Key pass. The most important thing is to
renew the pass before it expires, because once it does you won't be able to renew it and new passes are not currently available for purchase. So don't let the sand in the hourglass run out, ok?
The next step would be to determine which
type of Magic Key your friend has so that you can budget for the appropriate amount. In order to make the payment, you have a few different options:
- You could give your friend a Disney Gift Card to cover the amount of their pass. However, you can only pay for Magic Key Renewals using a Disney Gift Card if you are in person at the ticket booths at the Disneyland Resort. So if you live close by this can be a good option, but otherwise, I'd choose a different payment method. You would also need to purchase more than one card, and then combine them on the Disney Gift Card website. Maybe more work than we're going for, right?
- Another option is to purchase a gift card through a major credit card company, which you can gift to your friend and they can use it like a credit card to renew the Magic Key pass.
- If your friend's Magic Key is linked to your Disney account then you may also be able to use the website to pay to renew their pass through your own account.
- The easiest way might be to surprise your friend with a fun card and let them know what the gift is, then coordinate with them to either pay for the renewal or reimburse them through the method of your choice. It might feel a little less exciting than a wrapped gift, but the magic will last for a whole year!
- If you'd like to speak to a Cast Member about your options or you run into any issues you can contact them through the special phone number just for Magic Key holders. I'm sure they'll be delighted to help!
Maybe you and your friend can celebrate a new year of fun in the parks with a toast at
Magic Key Terrace! I can't think of anything better than sharing a refreshing drink with a great friend surrounded by that special Disney vibe.
Kyle, you are a truly magnificent friend! Have so much fun granting this magical wish, and I hope you and your friend will enjoy exploring the Disneyland Resort together all year long.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
