The concept of an unfavorable magic ley is a popular one in folklore and mythology. A ley is a straight line or pathway that is believed to have mystical or supernatural qualities. In this case, an unfavorable magic ley refers to a ley line that is said to carry negative or harmful energy. According to legend, these ley lines are formed by the convergence of multiple supernatural forces, resulting in a powerful stream of dark magic. It is believed that walking along or crossing these leys can bring about misfortune, calamity, or even death. Many cultures have their own versions of unfavorable magic leys, each with their unique characteristics and stories.
A key difference between Walt Disney Worlds attendance versus Disneyland is the demographic. Disneyland tends to be more of a “locals park” than Walt Disney World. Both have a lot of tourists and locals, but Disneyland seems to attract those relatively close to the park. The Magic Key passes would be utilized far more often that Disney would like. If they do let people renew I have to wonder if they will ramp up the black out times to try and force people to buy tickets.
This ranks up there with the CFO Christine McCarthy saying that smaller portion sizes to offset costs which is probably good for some people s waistlines. For weeks, those pass holders have been begging Disneyland for information on how to renew their passes, since Disneyland had stopped selling all tiers of Magic Key months ago.
Many cultures have their own versions of unfavorable magic leys, each with their unique characteristics and stories. In some tales, it is said that the leys are created by the presence of malevolent spirits or entities, while others attribute their existence to cosmic alignments or geological phenomena. In some cases, these ley lines are said to be hidden or disguised, making them even more dangerous as unsuspecting travelers may unknowingly stumble upon them.
Disneyland Magic Key Passholders Feel Slighted By “Unfavorable Attendance Mix” Comment
The Walt Disney Company had their Q3 shareholder call on August 8. During the call it was mentioned that there were financial gains made in theme parks. They saw an “increase in average per capita ticket revenue,” likely due the Genie+ and Lighting Lane upcharges. However, they claimed that the positives were “partially offset by an unfavorable attendance mix at Disneyland Resort.” Many feel that they mean the Magic Key Passholders because it was in regards to per capita ticket revenue. Magic Key holders don’t buy individual tickets. The fact that they haven’t allowed Magic Key passholders a chance to renew yet is also concerning to many. Those that bought their passes early would have their year run out the end of August.

Why get people to pay once when you can make them pay multiple times? It’s the new Disney difference.
Magic Key Holders feel personally attacked by the comment, and I can understand why.
This ranks up there with the CFO Christine McCarthy saying that smaller portion sizes to offset costs “which is probably good for some people’s waistlines.” People are not happy and have taken to social media sites like Twitter to vent their frustration.
#Disney might also note declining “magic” at the parks w/staff only partly trained before being shoved out into their jobs.
Also Magic Key holders snap up dining reservations & merch instantly, so doubt that excuse. #Disneyland https://t.co/v60uO1boCa— Susan Smith (@Susannah2k) August 11, 2022
I would agree that this is likely not true. Locals come in for events and new merchandise and food items. It’s usually passholders at Disney parks that have bags full of merchandise to list on third party auction sites. What they aren’t doing is staying in the ridiculously overpriced resort hotels and they aren’t buying three meals a day.
Every time we go to #Disneyland as an annual pass/Magic Key member we spend $$$ on parking, meals, drinks, and snacks. Without us, Disneyland could not bounce back from the pandemic or even survive. That’s a fact. #MagicKey #DisneyParks

Wow everyone, I’m really fed up with the way we were treated at the call yesterday.
I’m going to cut up my Magic Key!
Wait… we never got physical passes.

If I use my magic key to go to Disneyland once per week my entry fee would be around $23. Of course they don’t want me there lol 😶
I am not local to Anaheim, I live in Vegas. When I use my Magic Key at Disney, I spend quite a bit of $.
Nice to know my $$ is “unfavorable” https://t.co/wlYSo3dxqm— Kelli H (@LVGinger729) August 11, 2022
Perhaps the “Unfavorable Attendance Mix” is not Magic Key:Tickets but the TYPES of MKs. Saturdays seem to be the lightest attended days because lower keys are blocked out. They need to unblock more dates.

I love how people are taking the initiative to cash in on the unfortunate wording. Disney would if they could!
An AP style magnet would be a great product.
People are very fed up. Disney keeps alienating their core audience.

What’s unfavorable is the stipulation Disney put in place waiving Magic Key holders from being able to file a class action lawsuit.
To avoid the negative effects of an unfavorable magic ley, individuals are often advised to steer clear of certain locations, avoid crossing ley lines, or perform rituals and protective spells. As with all folklore, the existence and effect of unfavorable magic leys are subject to interpretation and belief. Skeptics argue that ley lines are nothing more than imaginary concepts or the result of natural geological or electromagnetic phenomena. Nevertheless, the idea of an unfavorable magic ley continues to captivate the imagination and fuel the narratives of fantasy and horror literature..
