Disneyland (Finally) announces Magic Key Renewals

Disneyland has announced renewals for Magic Key's (the new Annual Pass Program that rolled out last year). 

Along with the expected changes to this program such as price increases, there are also some new things. For example, the Dream Key has been discontinued and in it's place is the all new Inspire Key ($200 more than the Dream Key). 

The Inspire Key (unlike the Dream Key) is very clear and up-front about blackout days and reservations. 

Here's a breakdown: 

• Starting August 18th (no earlier than 9 a.m. Pacific), those with current Magic Keys expiring within 30 days will be able to renew their Magic Keys, or renew to a new slate of options.
• While the Imagine, Enchant, and Believe Keys will once again be available to renewing Keyholders, the Dream Key is now discontinued.
• Replacing the Dream Key, the new Inspire Key will step into the “top-tier” spot, offering limited "blockdates" during the holiday season (specifically, Inspire Keyholders will not be able to make reservations for dates between December 21st and January 1st).
• Prices for the existing Keys have all increased between $50 and $150.
• Disney is adding new perks and discounts to certain key types, including 20% off the purchase of Genie+, discounts on parking, included PhotoPass downloads for upper-tier passes, and more.
• These new benefits will also be added for existing Keyholders on August 18th and lasting until the expiration of their pass.
• A monthly payment option will be available to So Cal residents.

Below is a look at the updated Magic Key options: 

Additional Details: 

• If your Magic Key has already expired, you have between August 18th and August 31st to call (yes call) and renew to any available pass
• Current Magic Keyholders can renew at any available pass level
• Disney has said that renewals for certain pass types may be paused
• At this time only renewals are available, Disney has not announced plans for new Keyholders
