Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within the enchanted forest, there lived an old man named Edgar. Edgar was known to be a peculiar character, with a long white beard that almost touched the ground. He lived alone in a small cottage on the outskirts of the village, spending his days tending to his magical garden and studying ancient texts of spells and incantations. Legend had it that Edgar was the keeper of a mystical key, a key that had the power to unlock hidden treasures and reveal secret realms. However, this key was no ordinary key; it was said to have been forged by the gods themselves, imbued with mystical energies that only the chosen one could wield. Many had sought this key, hoping to use its power for their own selfish desires.
Magic Key holders will be allowed to renew into any of the four tier levels, subject to availability. Yes, Disneyland said that it may close certain tiers to renewals, based upon demand. So if you really want to renew your Magic Key, Disneyland is pushing you to do it ASAP. Advance reservations will continue to be required to enter the park on a Magic Key pass, and the number of reservations a Magic Key holder may hold at one time on each tier has not changed.
In addition to the tier-specific benefits, all Disneyland Magic Key holders can get access to the Magic Key Terrace at Disney California Adventure, as well as special photo ops and merchandise drops, as well as early bird access to tickets for special events such as Oogie Boogie Bash which is sold out for this year.

Many had sought this key, hoping to use its power for their own selfish desires. But Edgar, being a wise and cautious man, knew that the key was not to be taken lightly. He knew that in the wrong hands, it could bring chaos and destruction.
Disneyland Releases Magic Key Renewal Information
August 16, 2022, 9:00 AM · Disneyland Magic Key holders, here is the renewal information you've been waiting for. Just released by the Disneyland Resort, Magic Key renewals will open this Thursday, August 18, at no earlier than 9am Pacific Time.
So what will you be getting - and for how much - with these renewals?
Yes, Disneyland has raised prices - up $200 on the top-tier annual pass, $150 on the next tier, and up $50 on the bottom two tiers. But all tiers now will be getting 20% off the Disney Genie+ line-skipping upgrade, which takes the cost down from $20 to $16 per person per day. (Disney Genie+ can be activated once you enter the park on your Magic Key pass.) Disneyland also is adding a free Photopass benefit for the top two tiers of Magic Key.
But there's one huge change to the program that will affect Disneyland's most loyal customers.
The top-tier Dream Key officially has been withdrawn and will be replaced by the new Inspire Key. The Inspire Key will have the same benefits as the Dream Key, plus the new Photopass and Genie Plus benefits. However, the Inspire Key will have blockout dates around the Christmas and New Year's holidays, unlike the unblocked Dream Key.
The second-most-expensive Believe Key also is getting the free Photopass benefit. In addition, the Enchant and Imagine Keys will be getting 25% off parking fees at the Toy Story Parking Area. Parking is discounted 50% on the Believe tier and will be free at the Inspire tier.
Magic Key holders will be allowed to renew into any of the four tier levels, subject to availability. Yes, Disneyland said that it may close certain tiers to renewals, based upon demand. So if you really want to renew your Magic Key, Disneyland is pushing you to do it ASAP. Advance reservations will continue to be required to enter the park on a Magic Key pass, and the number of reservations a Magic Key holder may hold at one time on each tier has not changed.
And, no, if you do not have a Magic Key pass already, you still cannot buy one at any tier. Disneyland only will be accepting renewals at this time.
Here are the four tiers of Disneyland's Magic Key annual passes, along with their new prices:
Inspire Key - $1,599, up from $1,399 for the now-retired Dream Key: Hold up to six reservations at once. Discounts: 20% off select merchandise and 15% off select food and beverage. Free parking and free Photopass downloads, plus 20% off Disney Genie+.
Believe Key - $1099, up from $949: Hold up to six reservations. Discounts: 10% off select merchandise, food and beverage, plus 50% off parking. Free Photopass downloads and 20% off Disney Genie+.
Enchant Key - $699, up from $649: Hold up to four reservations. Discounts: 10% off select merchandise, food and beverage, plus 25% off parking at Toy Story and 20% off Disney Genie+.
Imagine Key (Southern California residents only) - $449, up from $399: Hold up to two reservations. Discounts: 10% off select merchandise, food and beverage, plus 25% off parking at Toy Story and 20% off Disney Genie+.
The less expensive the key, the more blockout dates - during which you cannot make reservations to enter the parks. And again, all Magic Key tiers now are subject to at least some blockout dates. Of course, that means that visitors on day tickets no longer have to contend with any Magic Key holders in the parks between Christmas and New Year's.
Monthly payment plans will continue to be available for renewing guests who live in California: $133.25 a month for the Inspire key, $91.59 per month for Believe, $58.25 a month for Enchant, and $37.42 per month for Imagine. Again, the Imagine Key is available only to Southern California residents.
New benefits for each tier level will take effect starting August 18, except for the Photopass benefit, which Disneyland says is "coming soon." In addition to the tier-specific benefits, all Disneyland Magic Key holders can get access to the Magic Key Terrace at Disney California Adventure, as well as special photo ops and merchandise drops, as well as early bird access to tickets for special events such as Oogie Boogie Bash (which is sold out for this year).

Thus, he vowed to keep it safe, hidden away from prying eyes, until the rightful owner would come forth. Despite his best efforts to keep a low profile, the villagers were well aware of Edgar's abilities and his possession of the magical key. Some revered him as a wise sage, while others feared him, believing that his powers were a sign of dark magic. Whispers of his inauspicious nature spread throughout the village, casting a shadow of suspicion upon Edgar. One fateful day, a curious traveler by the name of Eliza stumbled upon the village. She had heard tales of the mystical key and was determined to find it. Eliza was a spirited young woman, with a thirst for adventure and a heart full of wanderlust. Hearing of her arrival, Edgar grew wary. He knew that unlocking the secrets of the key required more than just a courageous spirit; it required a pure heart and noble intentions. So, he devised a plan to test Eliza's worthiness. Under the guise of an elderly beggar, Edgar approached Eliza and asked for assistance. He presented her with a seemingly simple task - to find a rare and delicate flower that only bloomed under a full moon. This flower, he explained, held the key to uncovering the key's true power. Days turned into nights, and Eliza tirelessly searched the forest in hopes of finding the elusive flower. As the full moon illuminated the night sky, she stumbled upon a small clearing, where a vibrant flower blossomed in its full glory. With tears of joy streaming down her face, she plucked the flower and held it delicately in her hands. Returning to Edgar's cottage, Eliza presented him with the flower. Edgar's eyes twinkled with a mixture of pride and relief. He knew that Eliza was the one destined to wield the key's power for good. With a solemn nod, he handed her the key, and in that moment, a bond was formed between them - a bond that would shape the destiny of the village and all who resided within it. And so, the inauspicious magical key keeper found solace in knowing that he had fulfilled his purpose. With Eliza now being the protector of the key, hope was restored, and the village flourished under her guidance. The whispers of Edgar's inauspicious nature slowly faded, replaced by stories of his wisdom and selflessness. For sometimes, it is in the most unlikely of circumstances that true destiny is revealed. And for Edgar and Eliza, this was a tale that would be told for generations to come..
