What is a magic key card?

The Magic Key program provides reservation-based admission to one or both Disneyland Resort theme parks where you'll make memories visit after visit. Magic Key passes feature a variety of admission opportunities, pricing options, experiences, and savings on food, beverages and merchandise.



A Magic Key card is the physical (and digital) pass used by members of the Disneyland Magic Key Program, which is the current version of the annual pass system at the Disneyland Resort in California. When you purchase a Magic Key, you are essentially buying a year-long pass that allows you to make theme park reservations for admission to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. The "card" itself, whether accessed through the Disneyland app or as a physical collectible card, serves as your entry credential and your key to unlocking various discounts on food, merchandise, and occasionally parking. There are different tiers of Magic Keys—such as the Inspire Key, Believe Key, Enchanted Key, and Imagine Key—each with varying levels of blockout dates and perks. The card is linked to your thumbprint or a digital photo at the gate to ensure it is non-transferable. For frequent visitors, the Magic Key card is a status symbol of the "Super Fan" community, often displayed in lanyards or specialized wallets as they navigate the parks throughout the year to enjoy exclusive "Key Holder" events and limited-edition merchandise.
