Disneyland Magic Key passes 2024: Here's everything you need to know

Disneyland California announced the return of their popular Magic Key Passes for the second time in a year on March 4, 2024. The Magic Key Passes will be available for purchase once again from Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 9 am PT. The Disneyland Magic Key passes previously went on sale in 2024 on Wednesday, January 10, 2024.

The passes, which were launched in August 2021, have always been sold in limited quantities and have sold out in the past. Disneyland launched passes after they shut down their longstanding annual passport program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the passes seemed to have been temporarily discontinued in 2023, they have made a comeback, much to the delight of fans of the theme park.

In a statement, Disney promised a stark return to its roots. They claimed that the key passes were re-introduced to do away with the problem of lengthy waiting times both in virtual and actual ticketing lines for Disneyland.

A total of 4 categories of Key Passes have been introduced and will go live on March 5, 2024, at 9 am PT, from Disney's official website.
