Are There Any Drawbacks?
There are quite a few caveats to consider when purchasing a Magic Key.
For starters, you’ll want to review the blockout dates.

Another major hurdle for parkgoers?
Disneyland currently enforces a reservation system.
When booking a reservation, you must select Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park as your starting park.
The reservation holder cannot visit the other park, or “park hop,” until 11 a.m.
The limit on how many reservations guests can hold at one time depends on tier level.
All passes are subject to the Magic Key No-Show Policy.
They can also enjoy 25 percent off aLightning Lane Multi Pass.
Imagine and Enchant Key holders get 25 percent off at the Toy Story Parking Area.
Resort stays come with the added perk of extra park hours.
It is the best option for guests who anticipate visiting over peak times and on the weekends.
At $974, the Enchant Key offers a bit more flexibility but has many blockout dates.
This pass may be best if you’re flexible and can visit on weekdays during less busy seasons.
The renewal window begins 30 days before pass expiration, and the quantity of pass renewals may be limited.
If your Magic Key expires, it can no longer be renewed.
