Despite recent price increases, Disneyland Magic Key annual passes can still pay for themselves so long as passholders visit Anaheim's theme parks a minimum of once every three weeks and only 4 times a yr – depending in your pass.
Disneyland increased Magic Key prices by $100 to $125 on Wednesday, October 9, while annual pass sales remained suspended.
Sales of Magic Keys will resume later this yr. A particular sales date will probably be announced on the Disneyland Magic Key social media channels.
Disneyland has found that many Magic Key annual passholders don't realize that every of their visits is such as a Parkhopper ticket value $169 to $281 – a much higher value than a single park ticket value $104 to $206. Dollar. Parkhopper tickets allow visitors to go to each Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on the identical day.

Depending on the way you do the mathematics, your Magic Key annual pass pays for itself in 4 to 17 visits.
If you divide the price of a Magic Key pass by the most cost effective day pass at $104, the Imagine pass could be value $599 over six visits, the Enchant pass could be value $974. Dollars in ten visits, the Believe Pass value $1,374 in 14 visits and the Inspire Pass value $1,749 in 17 visits.
But the annual passes pay for themselves rather more quickly if you divide the price by the most cost effective Parkhopper ticket at $169: Imagine (4 visits), Enchant (six visits), Believe (nine visits) and Inspire (11 visits).

The costliest annual passes pay for themselves even faster in the event you get past the most costly Parkhopper days for $281. Passholders who keep on with the most costly days pays for his or her Inspire Pass in seven visits and their Believe Pass in five visits. On the busiest – and costliest – days of the yr, Enchant and Imagine keyholders are typically unavailable.
When you think about parking fees and the discounts related to each annual pass, the bill doesn't change all that much. If anything, the parking discounts help the passes pay for themselves just a little quicker.
“The Disneyland Annual Pass has always been a great value for those who have enough time to enjoy the park year-round.” Mickey visit said founder Gavin Doyle via email. “Having a pass completely changes the way you visit the theme park, giving you more opportunities to be spontaneous during visits and see the latest new additions.”
Depending on the price, each Magic Key pass has multiple blackout dates per yr. The $1,749 Inspire Pass has 14 blackout dates in 2025, the $1,374 Believe Pass has 65, the $974 Enchant Pass has 148, and the $599 Imagine Pass has 217 Mickey visit.
Doing the mathematics, the most costly Inspire Key costs $4.98 per day for the pass holder who visits 351 times a yr. The most cost-effective Imagine Key costs $4.05 per day for the pass holder to go to 148 times per yr. The Believe and Enchant passes cost about $4.50 per day.
Of course, with such frequent visits, the important thing holder would need to make a reservation for each available date – a feat that more than likely won't occur.
