Hi there, Arlynn! Thanks so much for stopping by with your question. You have a fellow
Magic Key holder in me, so we should be a good pair navigating through this together. Speaking of good pairs, just consider me the Carl to your Russell ... or maybe I'm the Russell to your Carl in this scenario. A Wilderness Explorer is a friend to all after all! No matter what, you are on the brink of a brand new Magic Key year and adventure is out there!
First things first, let's find out when your
renewed Magic Key would activate. I did a little digging and spoke to the
Magic Key Guest Services team. They confirmed that renewed keys automatically activate the day after your current key expires. The beauty of renewing is that you would just roll right into your next Magic Key year!
Second, let's talk about when you would see the charge for the new key. According to the experts, you would be charged on the day of your transaction. In other words, the day you make the renewal purchase as opposed to the day that your key activates.
Third, let's explore some of the new benefits and perks for renewed and current Magic Key holders! All Magic Keys now offer 20% off the cost of
Disney Genie+ AND parking discounts that vary depending on your key. Yes, you heard that right! Lighting Lanes and parking at a discount just for you! If you currently have a Dream or Believe key or renew to an Inspire key, you'll also get unlimited
Disney PhotoPass downloads so those memories will last forever!
Arlynn, I sure hope this helped find your way to a new Magic Key. While days in the parks are filled with exciting hustle and bustle, be sure to take some time to slow down and have a few quieter moments. In the wise words of Russell, "That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most." It's usually in these moments where you can find the most magic. If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at

Thanks for the adventure!
