Starting today, Disneyland began selling annual passes to new customers once again.
The passes, called Magic Keys, are available online.
Why It's A Big Deal For Enthusiasts
Disney paused the sale of new annual passes on and off throughout the past year largely due to overcrowding and pandemic restrictions. Existing passholders could renew during that time.

Four different annual passes are available:
- Inspire Key
- Believe Key
- Enchant Key (will remain available only for renewal)
- Imagine Key
About The $1,599 Inspire Key
The Inspire Key is the most expensive, at $1,599. It's the only pass that includes parking (others offer discounts on parking), and offers the greatest discounts on merchandise and dining.
The Imagine Key is the least expensive, at $449, and is available to Southern California residents only.
All passes require holders to make reservations.
Prices for annual passes have increased significantly. A decade ago, annual passes ranged from $469-$649; a decade before that, it was $165-$225.

Like At The Park, Prepare To Wait In Line
As of 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the wait time to purchase passes was over an hour.
We are waiting to hear if tickets are available for purchase any other way besides online, and why Disney decided to reopen sales to new customers now.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
