UPDATED May 9, 2025

In August 2021, Disneyland Resort introduced a new program to replace the previous Annual Passholder program: the Magic Key!

Magic Key Sales Status: Sales for new Magic Key Passes are currently PAUSED. (Current Key holders may renew active passes.) However, the Inspire Key and the Believe Key will both be on sale again starting May 20th!

The Magic Key program offers Key Holders “reservation-based admission” to the two Disneyland Resort theme parks: Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Magic Key members have varying levels of theme park access and benefits based on the type of membership “Key” they hold. 

Interested guests may purchase a Magic Key pass, online at either Disneyland.com or on the Disneyland app.

How to Use the Magic Key

DON’T FORGET: Along with valid admission, entry into the Disneyland Resort theme parks requires a theme park reservation. Here are the required steps: 

1. Access the Calendar

Check the Magic Key access calendar on the Disneyland website, which shows admission and blockout dates for your pass as well as current park reservation availability.

2. Make a Reservation

Make sure you’re signed into your Disney account and that your Magic Key ID (which is the 18-digit number you receive upon purchase) is linked to your account. Then, visit Park Reservations to start the reservation process. (We have a step-by-step guide on this process here.) Pick the date and park you want to visit, based on availability. Magic Key Holders can make reservations for one park only OR both parks (known as park hopping), depending on availability.

CLICK HERE to learn about the required Theme Park Reservations for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. 

Note that if you select both parks, you can choose the park where you will start your day and may switch between parks starting at 1PM that same day (capacity allowing). You MUST enter the first park for which you made a reservation for that date before visiting the other park. (A park reservation is NOT required for the second park after visiting your first park of the day, but will still be based on capacity.)

3. Review and Confirm Your Visit

The third and final step is to look over your theme park reservation and agree to the Terms & Conditions (including the COVID-19 liability waiver) and then select “Confirm” to complete your park reservation. You need to provide an email address to receive your reservation confirmation.

Upon arrival at the theme park you’re visiting, present your Magic Key pass in the Disneyland app to enter the park.

“No-Show” Policy

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING regarding the “no-show policy” (text below is from the Disneyland website):

“The ability of Magic Key holders to make and hold park reservations will be impacted by the “no show” policy. Magic Key holders who are a “no show” for 3 reservations in a 90-day window will be unable to make new park reservations for 30 days. Existing park reservations at that time will not be cancelled. The 30-day period begins the day after the third “no-show,” and will continue even if the pass is upgraded to another pass during that time. A Magic Key holder who enters the designated park any time before closing on the day of the reservation is not considered a “no-show.” If the reservation is for both parks, only one park needs to be entered to avoid being a “no-show.” Magic Key holders who timely cancel a reservation are also not considered a “no-show.” Cancellation of a reservation must be done by 11:59 PM PT on the day before the reserved date. Rules and policies are subject to change without notice.”

Magic Key holders can monitor their no-show history in the Disneyland App. When booking a Park Pass reservation, Magic Key holders can see how many – if any – no-shows they have.
