Hello there, Kristen! Thank you for bringing your Magic Key renewal question to us!
I am happy to hear that you've enjoyed the past year as a Disneyland
Magic Key holder and are looking forward to renewing. Your Magic Key is eligible for renewal up to 30 days before its expiration date. Please note that Passes cannot be renewed after the expiration date - so keep an eye on that 30-day window!
Recent information from the Magic Key Buying Guide stated that Disney Gift Cards could only be applied when making a payment in full for a new Magic Key and that Disney Gift Cards could not pay for Magic Key renewals - only for purchasing new Magic Keys. I am sorry, I know this isn't the information you probably wanted to hear, Kristen.
Information is subject to change, so you may want to reach out to the
Magic Key Holder phone line to see if there is anything else they can tell you.
Please visit us again, if you have any further questions.
Warmly,
Melissa
