Greetings, Darlene! From one Magic Key passholder to another, welcome to planDisney. There are quite a few added benefits that come with the
Believe Key, so I can understand why you are thinking of upgrading. I’d be happy to walk you through what to expect!
Darlene, at the time of writing this, both the
Inspire Key and Believe Key are on sale. As long as sales of new passes aren't paused, you'll have the option of upgrading your current Magic Key annual pass! Before you do that, here are some helpful things you need to know (subject to change):
- Upgrades outside of your renewal window must be done in person at the Disneyland Resort ticket booths.
- You'll need to pay the difference between the cost of your current pass and the desired pass at the time of the upgrade. This amount is the same regardless of how far along you are in your year as a Magic Key passholder, so you'll get more out of the upgrade the earlier you do it.
- The expiration date of your Magic Key pass won't change if you upgrade. And if you have monthly payments, those will stay the same, too.
My mom upgraded from an Enchant Key to a Believe Key during her renewal window, and she's really enjoying it. Being able to hold up to six reservations at a time, including Saturdays and throughout the summer, has opened up her options for park visits. Check the calendar to
view the blockout dates for this pass to get a better idea of when you'll be able to visit. Believe Key passholders also enjoy a better discount on parking (including at the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure and Pixar Pals Parking Structure), as well as unlimited
Disney PhotoPass digital downloads.
Speaking of PhotoPass, Darlene, Photo Excursions recently returned to the Disneyland Resort. It's a popular, free photo session lasting between 10 and 15 minutes, during which you can have your photos taken by a PhotoPass photographer in one area of the park. With a Believe Key or Inspire Key, you'd be able to download your photos for free. I'm excited to try this for myself soon.
Don’t forget to explore the
Extras Unlocked page to discover seasonal perks, special experiences, and exclusive offerings that are available to Magic Key passholders like us. If you haven't already, I also suggest following
Disneyland Magic Key on Instagram to stay up-to-date on news and get inspiration for your next visit.
Darlene, I hope everything goes smoothly for you should you decide to upgrade your Magic Key pass. If you have any other questions, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
