Disneyland Annual Pass Program: Magic Key Passes
In August 2021, Disney introduced a brand new Disneyland Annual Pass Program called Magic Key. Since then the sale of new passes has been suspended, but beginning August 18, current Magic Key holders can renew their pass up to 30 days before expiration. It is worth noting that the “Dream Key” is no longer available as an option and has been replaced with the “Inspire Key.” Another change worth mentioning is that all four pass options include block-out dates meaning that there is no longer a pass giving you access to the parks 365 days a year.
If you hold an existing pass, your pass is good until it expires, including the Dream Key. When it’s time to renew, you can renew into one of the available passes. Also, if you renew inside the 30-day window, you can upgrade or downgrade to a different key. But if you decide to renew outside the 30-day window, you will not be able to make changes to your Magic Key tier unless passes become available for sale again.

Important Details
Reservation cancellation must be done by 11:59 PM PST on the day before the reserved date. Disney does have a “no show” policy in place. Those who don’t show up for 3 reservations in a 90-day window will be unable to make a new park reservation for 30 days. (Existing park reservations at that time will not be canceled.) The 30-day window will begin the day after the third “no show,” and it will continue even if the pass is upgraded to another pass during that time.
