Updated with new Magic Key tier
The Magic Key sales cycle continues in the new year, when Disneyland resumes sales of “select” Magic Keys on January 13, 2026. This includes the existing Imagine Key, which is exclusive to residents of Southern California, and a brand-new Explore Key, replacing the current Enchant Key.
The new Explore Key is priced at $999, a $25 increase from the Enchant Key. Disney says the key allows visitors to “explore the parks on select dates during each season, including summer!” The company has not yet released the blockout calendar for this new pass, but says it will be available to view online before sales begin. We should note that the Enchant Key is blocked out June 5 through August 2 of 2026, and we’ll be interested to see what additional summer availability this new pass has.
Disneyland resumed sales of the top two Magic Key tiers, Inspire ($1,899) and Believe ($1,474), on November 4, after increasing their prices in October. The Enchant and Imagine Keys, which were not impacted by the last price increase, were available for sale “while supplies last,” but have since sold out. A Disneyland rep tells us there will be no price increase for the Imagine Key when sales resume next month.
Holiday shoppers hoping to gift a Magic Key this year can either opt for one of the top tier keys, or give an IOU and wait until January 13 for the other two keys to go on sale.
Magic Key holders who already have the Imagine Key can renew it within their normal renewal window, and are not impacted by these on-sale dates. Disney will not sell or renew the Enchant Key after January 13, 2026, but it remains valid through the original expiration date. Those who currently have an Enchant Key which expires before January 12, 2026 can renew it for one more year. If the key expires on or after January 13, they can move to a different pass tier when it comes time to renew, including the new Explore Key.
