Disneyland is changing one of the four tiers in its annual pass program.
Disneyland's Magic Key program currently offers four tiers.
Starting January 13, the Enchant Key will no longer be available for renewal. Current Enchant Key holder may continue to use their pass until it expires. On that date, Disneyland will introduce a new Explore Key pass.
The Explore Key will take the Enchant Key's space in the four tiers. The new pass will add admission on weekdays on June and July, which were blocked out with the Enchant Key. The Explore Key will sell for $999.
The Inspire and Believe Keys are now on sale, with the new Explore Key and the SoCal resident Imagine Key going back on sale on January 13, no earlier than 9am Pacific. You can find links to buy and more information on Disneyland's website.
This is the second time that Disneyland has changes its Magic Key tiers. Disneyland previously retired its top-tier Dream Key, which had no blockout dates, in August 2022, after a passholder lawsuit over reservations. (All Magic Key passes require passholders to make park reservations to use the passes.) Disneyland introduced the Inspire Key at that time.
It's wild to me that the more things change, the more things stay the same with the Magic Key program. It's been clear since the Pandemic that Disney has been trying to use this new program to strictly manage and limit visits from locals, and folks keep falling hand of fist to buy these products then turn around and complain when they realize it's really hard to get any value in return for the up-front expense.
Given how expensive it's gotten to visit the Disneyland Resort just for a single day, I don't understand why they need to even bother offering anything lower than the Believe Key. The level of complexity and constantly changing names and rules does nothing but confuse, frustrate, and annoy guests who are paying top dollar and are theoretically your most loyal fans.
