Disneyland enthusiasts have found themselves in a storm of emotions yet again as the Anaheim theme park has paused all Magic Key sales indefinitely. On Wednesday, June 5th, Disneyland officials announced that new sales for all types of Magic Key annual passes have been halted as they assess and manage their annual passport program.
For those who are already proud Magic Key holders, there is a glimmer of hope. The Inspire, Believe, and Enchant Keys remain available but only for those looking to renew their passes. The Imagine Key, which is restricted to Southern California residents, hasn’t been available since its halt in March.
The recent cycle of Magic Key sales saw an overwhelming rush, particularly in early March when the Imagine Key sold out in less than nine hours. Given the popularity, it’s no surprise that fans spent hours in virtual queues only to face disappointment over sold-out passes.
Of note, Disneyland significantly increased the Magic Key prices last October. The current rates stand at $1,649 for an Inspire Key, $1,249 for a Believe Key, $849 for an Enchant Key, and $499 for an Imagine Key.
In light of these changes, Disneyland is continuously evaluating their Magic Key program to ensure it meets the needs of park-goers while managing the park’s capacity effectively.
