Disneyland Resort Update for April 10, 2023
News and Views
Author's note:
As often happens, Disneyland made two major announcements after this article published Monday morning. I've updated the Update with the breaking news below.
Rogers: The Musical opens limited run June 30
Rogers: The Musical will begin its limited run at Disney California Adventure on Friday, June 30, Disney announced this morning.
The fictional musical from the first episode of the Disney+ series Hawkeye will become “a real-life, all-new short one-act musical theater production to be performed during a limited-time engagement at the Hyperion Theatre in DCA. Fans who attended the 2022 D23 Expo were treated to a surprise live performance of “Save the City” during the Marvel Studios panel, and in February Disney confirmed the stage show was under development after a casting notice appeared on the Disney Auditions website.

We now know the show will feature Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter and a singing Nick Fury, plus “select members of the Avengers.” In addition to “Save the City” from Hawkeye and “Star Spangled Man” from “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Rogers: The Musical will feature five new original songs written for the Disneyland Resort production.
Disney says the show will be performed Tuesday through Saturday, and will run about 30 minutes long. Naturally, special merchandise and food offerings are being planned around the promotion, with details still to come.
Disney to resume Magic Key sales Tuesday, April 11
The Disneyland Resort is set to resume new sales of Magic Key passes on Tuesday, April 11. All four levels of Magic Keys will be available for sales no earlier than 9:00 a.m., marking the first time the Enchant Key has been offered for new sale.
This is welcome news for would-be Magic Key holders, but is also a notice to current Magic Key holders that TODAY would be a very good time to lock in any theme park reservations you may want for the next 90 days. That window includes the debut of Rogers: The Musical, and the Fourth of July weekend.
Disneyland rolled out a new Magic Key program in August 2022. Magic Key 2.0 marked the end of the all-access annual passport at any price level, as replaced the Dream Key (valid 365 days a year) with a new top-tier “Inspire” Key, which is blocked out December 21 to January 1 each year. All four of the Magic Keys require members to make advance reservations before visiting the parks, and the company has given no sign of ending that program.
Buyers can choose between the Inspire, Enchant and Believe Keys, and Southern California residents can pick the Imagine Key. Visit the Magic Key access calendar to see the blockout dates which apply to each pass type.

Are you ready to buy? Sales will begin no earlier than 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 11, via Disneyland.com or the Disneyland mobile app. If you're planning to make your purchase through the app, make sure to update to the latest version before you begin. We compiled a list of top questions and answers when Magic Key 2.0 went on sale in August, so if you encounter any problems check there to see if we have an answer for you.
Disney notes that “passes are subject to availability, and passes or a pass type may not be available from time to time or at any given time,” so if your budget permits it's best to buy your new Magic Key as soon as possible, and activate it when you're ready to visit.
Remember that your Magic Key is not activated until you use it to enter a park or to obtain free parking (Inspire Key only), and you have a year from the date of purchase to activate the pass.
Star Tours adding new destinations in 2024
During the Walt Disney Imagineering panel at this weekend's Star Wars Celebration event in London, WDI Portfolio Creative Executive Scott Trowbridge announced that the Star Tours attractions at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris will be updated in 2024 to visit new destinations and encounter new characters—but we don't know just where or who yet. Trowbridge, who was joined by Imagineers Ann Morrow Johnson and Asa Kalama, plus Matt Martin from Lucasfilm, said the additions will be based on “upcoming Star Wars content,” which likely means shows and movies that have yet to air.
Disney updated the classic Star Tours attraction in 2011 to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. The plural “adventures” was said to indicate that the ride would be updated from time to time, and in fact we've seen several additions since the original sequences. Batuu was added as a destination in 2017, in the build-up to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Batuu is of course the outer rim planet that serves as the setting for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and the Black Spire Outpost.
In 2019, Star Tours began visiting the ocean moon Kef Bir and the desert planet Exegol, both from The Rise of Skywalker film.
Star Tours will visit new destinations starting in 2024. Photo courtesy Disney.
In another Celebration announcement, we learned that characters from the animated Disney+ series “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures” will visit Batuu on the show. While the panel hinted that new character may appear in Batuu, there was no indication which characters would join the lineup.
Kylo Ren, Rey and Chewbacca were all common sights around the Black Spire Outpost when Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, but they were later joined by Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, the Mandalorian, and Grogu. With The Mandalorian star Katee Sackhoff having recently visited Disneyland to promote the newest season of the show, some have wondered if her character Bo-Katan Kryze will be the next to appear in the land.
Throwback Nite offerings
Tickets are still available for the two Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite events in April. Disney is heavily promoting this after-hours party, even running ads for the event on many social media platforms. Now the company has posted a digital version of the Event Guide for the night, offering a comprehensive overview of the entertainment, character, photo, and shopping opportunities planned for the night. There is also a separate Food & Beverage Guide with all of the special offerings available.

We also recommend checking the convention calendar at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau website. When looking at that site, remember to note both the number of people and the number of rooms resulting from each convention. A gathering of 25,000 people booking few room nights (indicating most will be driving in to the area for their meeting) can impact traffic around the resort much more than a crowd of 25,000 staying in area hotels. Of course, that second group is going to make finding a hotel room more difficult (and possibly more expensive), so it's best to book your own room as early as possible if you see that a big convention is in town during your trip.

Current Discounts and Promotions
Disneyland prices as of October 11, 2022.
Note: MousePlanet does not edit past Updates to reflect price increases; for up-to-date prices, check the most recent Disneyland Resort Update. Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts. If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line. Note, we are no longer listing offers from the Anaheim-Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, as their convenience fee negates any savings.
Don't get scammed! Never buy tickets from an unofficial or secondary outlet, such as through eBay or Craigslist. Never rent or purchase tickets from people approaching you outside the gates stating they have remaining days or leftover tickets. This practice is against the terms of use for Disneyland admission, and may result in denial of entry. It is also common for criminals to shoplift inactivated Disney theme park tickets from supermarkets to resell them. There is no way to determine if these tickets are valid until you try to use them to enter the parks. Only purchase Disney theme park tickets directly from Disney, an authorized seller, or travel agency like MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.

Disney usually allows customers to purchase more than one of the offers in a qualifying transaction, so if you spend $40 or more you can buy both items currently available if you wish.

2023 Hotel discounts
Military discounts are valid for stays most nights from January 9 through December 15, 2023. You can book now through December 11, 2023, and travel must be completed by December 16, 2023.
Disney does not publish the actual discounted rates, and instead asks eligible U.S. military personnel to call (844) 776-0015 to check pricing, availability and to make reservations. In past years, the offer was generally 30% to 40% off, based on room category.
Unlike the Walt Disney World version, the Disneyland offer allows the eligible service member to book up to two rooms, and allows their spouse (with valid and proper ID) to qualify in the absence of the service member, provided the spouse stays in one of the rooms booked.
