Did Magic Key prices go up?

Magic Key passes Each pass type - which includes the Inspire, Believe, Enchant and Imagine passes - will see a price hike. The Imagine pass, the least expensive, saw a $50 increase for a total of $499. The Enchant pass went from $699 to $849 and the Believe pass went from $1,099 to $1,249.



Yes, Disneyland Magic Key prices increased in late 2025 and 2026, affecting both renewals and new sales. As of early 2026, the top-tier "Inspire Key" (which has the fewest blockout dates) is priced at $1,899, a $150 increase from its previous price of $1,749. The "Believe Key" saw a $100 increase, moving from $1,374 to $1,474. Interestingly, Disney chose to keep the prices for the two lower-tier passes—the "Enchant Key" and the "Imagine Key" (reserved for Southern California residents)—relatively stable at $974 and $599 respectively, though these passes have significantly more restricted dates. These price hikes were part of a broader "Disney-wide" adjustment in 2026 that also saw increases in standard park tickets, Lightning Lane Multi Pass fees, and parking rates. Disney justifies these increases by pointing to the continuous investment in new attractions, such as the "Tiana's Bayou Adventure" and upcoming "Avatar" expansions. Despite the higher costs, demand for the Magic Key program remains exceptionally high in 2026, with most tiers selling out within hours whenever a new "buying window" is opened to the public.
