Anaheim, California – Disneyland will resume sales of the Inspire and Believe Magic Key annual passes on November 4, 2025, starting no earlier than 9 a.m. PT. Sales of these two tiers were paused in July 2025, creating high demand among Disneyland enthusiasts as the holiday season approaches. The Imagine and Enchant tiers have remained available for purchase since August 2025.
Significant price increases were recently announced for the Magic Key annual passes, ranging from 0% to 8.6%. The Inspire Key will see a price hike of $150, bringing its new price to $1,899. The Believe Key will increase by $100, now costing $1,474. The prices for the Enchant and Imagine tiers are holding steady at $974 and $599, respectively.
The Disneyland Magic Key Buying Guide is cautioning potential buyers that sales will be limited and that passes may sell out quickly, a situation typical of previous sales. Demand for the Magic Key annual passes has led to varying durations of sales, with some passes selling out within hours while others have remained on offer for several months.
A virtual waiting room will open at 8:45 a.m. on November 4, where prospective buyers can enter an online queue before sales begin. Fans can opt for a “Notify Me” option to receive email alerts when it is their turn to make a purchase. Once a customer’s turn comes up, they will have 10 minutes to complete their transaction or risk losing their spot in line.
Buyers are advised to regularly check their spam and junk folders for email confirmations following their purchases. It is also recommended that they avoid opening multiple browser tabs or refreshing the sales page, as this can interfere with their progress in the queue.
After canceling its long-standing annual passholder program during the COVID-19 pandemic, Disneyland introduced the Magic Key in 2021 as a new way for guests to access the park. Existing Magic Key passes can be renewed in the month prior to their expiration, giving current passholders a chance to maintain their access. Additionally, aspiring passholders can sign up for notifications regarding future sales to stay updated on availability.
For California residents, there is an option for a 12-month payment plan with 0% APR after making a lower down payment of $99. This provides more flexibility for those wishing to enjoy the benefits of annual passes without the immediate upfront cost.
As Disneyland prepares for the bustling Christmas season, it is set to launch the Holidays at Disneyland Resort starting on November 14. The event will feature special attractions and events, including offerings like “it’s a small world” Holiday and the “A Christmas Fantasy Parade.” Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the seasonal festivities as they plan their trips during this enchanting time of year.
