Hi Savannah,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! Living in California is great! We have wonderful weather, many of us are close to the beach, and we live in the same state as The Happiest Place on Earth!
Because we live so close, Disneyland gives California residents the opportunity to make monthly payments on our
Magic Keys. This can often make purchasing a Magic Key a lot more affordable for folks.
We Magic Key holders have a
special telephone line just for us, so we can get help using our Magic Keys and their benefits. Just call (714) 781-7277 to make additional payments on our Magic Keys or to get help
accessing discounts on hotel reservations.
If your Magic Key is under someone else’s My Disney Experience account, you will need to have the owner of the key on the line so a Cast Member can verify the account. If the key is under your own My Disney Experience account, then you can call in on your own.
As you continue to use your Magic Key pass, be sure to take advantage of
your benefits. I love making reservations at the
Magic Key Terrace! This exclusive dining spot has lots of yummy options and delicious drinks. Since this restaurant is exclusive to Magic Key holders, you’ll be in the company of some Disney superfans. My favorite combo is the roasted half chicken and the mint julep cocktail — the chicken is super tender, and the beverage is so refreshing.
I hope this helps with paying off your Magic Key, Savannah! If you have any more questions or need help planning something new for your next trip, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to help add a little extra pixie dust to your planning.
Catch you in the parks!
