Anybody else going tomorrow afternoon around 5? I’m going solo

The last time a similar question was posted was pre-COVID so I’m sure a little bit has changed.

I’m a Disneyland local and just got a MK for the first time. I’m also a full time college student and struggle to do homework at home 😂

Top spots in the resort for studying? I know GCH gets mentioned a lot. Thank you!!

Can you pay for magic keys using Apple Pay?

I'm an Imagine key holder. I'm doing the monthly payment plan. Today, on IG they announced (one day in advance!!) that Key sales are open tomorrow. I'd like to go one level up. I hit up support and I could tell the response was cut and paste (they probably get the question a lot). But its still not clear to me.

They said I have to do the upgrade in person at a window. Understood.

They said the full balance of the difference in Key prices is due. But they said if I'm on a monthly plan, my payment stays the same.

The full difference between the pass you have now to the pass you want would be due at that time as well (if on monthly, the payment will stay the same and the upgrade cannot be added to the payment).

So I'm confused about what I'm supposed to be paying at the window. If I'm paying the difference, why would I still have a monthly payment?

Sorry if this is easier than it seems, I just feel they word this stuff in a confusing way. Like, I AM on monthly, which I told them, so I wish they would have just told me exactly what to expect in my situation...

I’d love to hear suggestions

I have 2 won’t be able to make it dm me if interested

I’ve had two rotating for 3 years and already bored with them.

when do annual passes start? is it from when you first enter the park or when you purchase them?

Can anyone explain if we are able to park hop with a key pass (Imagine Key only case)? It wasn’t so clear on the site.

Do I need to reserve for both parks, using up my two reservations.

Or can I Reserve just one park, and hop over after a certain time?

I bought the so cal special they were advertising back in nov/dec - 3 days by june 1 park at a time. Now they have the annual passes for sale coming up - can I apply the amount I paid back in dec for the annual passes?

I’m doing a my first solo Disney day today and haven’t had my pass for long. I realized I’m booked for DCA instead of Disney. I’m going early to about noon and I’d rather go to Disney first. I see now I cannot modify it. Could I switch my park selection at the ticket stand before I go in?

Does anyone know how much the total down payment would be for 2 magic key passes for each tier?

Hey All, I'm looking to purchase Magic Keys for my wife and I when they go on sale this week. We have a smaller child, so we think we're going to go with the Imagine Key, but we want to know if when renewal time comes around, will we be able to upgrade to the next level up if we determine that works better for us? Just trying to plan for the future.

Does anyone know the breakdown costs for the payment plans for each tier? I'm trying to figure out how much I'd have to pay upfront for the down payment plus each monthly payment. Thanks in advance!

Hey there, so just realized I forgot to cancel my reservation for today. May need to do a quick check in and out and was wondering if the monorail entrance at the end of Downtown disney(next to Lego Store) counts as me “signing in” if I just scan in and then leave?

Hi, I'm trying to make a booking for Disneyland in May and the park availability shows that park hopper is available but once I get into reserve the tickets, the dates are not "clickable". It's not crossed out like it's sold out but it won't let me select the date.

Does anyone have any info on this?

​

Thanks!

Some observations from our recent visit:

Single-ply toilet paper.

No trashcan liners in the restrooms.

Empty hand sanitizer dispensers.

“Funnel fries” replaced the French toast sticks.

Tables and chairs filthy at rope drop.

Cast members yelling at guests first thing in the morning on Space Mountain, when the restraint bars weren’t raising properly at the end of the ride, and guests couldn’t figure out how to get out.

Smuggler’s Run broke down, and we were stuck in a dark cockpit, strapped into our seats with no way out, and no communication from cast members for almost 10 minutes. People could be heard screaming “Let us out!” from other pods, and pounding on doors/walls. Finally got let out, and was halfheartedly offered a fastpass for other rides. But the list of eligible “other rides” has been WAY stripped down, being almost useless.

All of this adds up to a new concern about ride maintenance and being stuck on a ride, while being reliant on an apathetic workforce to extract you from the ride in a timely manner. Some people were legit having panic attacks from being trapped in their seat on the Falcon, and the lack of communication made it way worse. One person was about to call 911, thinking maybe the cast members had to evacuate for some reason, and left us there. I’m thinking about ways to smuggle in a seatbelt cutter, even though that’d be useless on rides like Incredicoaster.

Just genuinely concerned how far the penny-pinching has gone…

I was hanging out with some friends when they mentioned something interesting about their Inspire Key. They said the calendar will be completely open but when they try to book consecutive dates after securing the 1st date, the following dates magically become unavailable. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Okay I've been a passholder for many years, talking back when you could get in for FREE if you activated your AP on a blockout, could be Christmas day or something and maybe as far back as when you could get in the parks for free on your birthday. Blockouts obviously are not new to the lowest tier AP/MK so I'm not complaining about that. I'm not even complaining about each year the So Cal AP/MK price going up and blockout dates continue to increase. What I will complain about is blocking out the ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER! I can't be the only one that is just shaking their head. I'm not asking for Christmas or NYE (and TBH I don't want to be there on those insane dates) but the whole freaking month?! Give us at least the first week or two of December. Thoughts? By the way, this is for Imagine Keyholders.

Hello everyone, I am trying to take my kids to Disneyland during the thanksgiving break but honestly it super super expensive. I know that cast members get certain days to enter for free. I don’t want exactly free but I would truly truly appreciate if anyone out there that doesn’t mind and maybe has extra Disney days can help me out by giving us a trustworthy discount or something like that. It would be for 7 people. Thank you very much!

This is completely my fault, but I need to complain somewhere... I just renewed my magic key, my partner's magic key, and my son's magic key.. well my son is a JR, and I didn't pay attention to which key I was selecting, we intended to downgrade my partner and keep my son's key the same... we are believe key holders. Well, now my son is stuck with an image key until new key purchases come out. I am unable to upgrade him because it is locked in the contract, this is my fault, but also such BS. Disney is giving me reasons to hate them more and more. Welcome to my pity party.

I’m renewing and know that I don’t have to make a down payment. But can I make a down payment later on in the year?

Hi guys how much is and Annual Pass and where do I get it??

We’ve been passholders for some time now - Going to the parks a few times a month and ordering quick service pretty much every time. It used to be efficient and useful. Even on a super busy day, we order, it says it’s ready, I go to a window and pick it up. Easy. Right? The last handful of times now, we go to pick it up and there’s a line like this. I don’t know what they changed in their system but it’s very frustrating. A big part of the issue is other guests lining up at the windows and going to them before their order is even ready. Please DON’T do this- it defeats the whole entire purpose of the VIRTUAL queue, it’s unnecessary and causes confusion to those whose orders are already ready sitting in the window just trying to get their order. We only realized most of these people were lined up and their orders werent even ready when I glanced at one of their phones. It was only when I said something to the cast member that he told the people lined up to let those whos orders were ready go to the front. Disney should probably add this instruction to the app once you order or at least have a cast member outside sorting it out. Okay rant over.

Hello, my friends currently have Believe passes that are up for renewal in November. They want to upgrade to Inspire when they renew. Has anyone been able to do this? Or is renewal only available for the current level you have? (I already have an inspire and am planning to keep this level).

Thanks!

My renewal isn't up until January but I was wondering how that works? I was reading that only new passholders must put a down payment then when you renew you don't. But that's the part that confuses me. If I don't need to put a down payment when I renew then will my monthly payment simply increase because I'm not? IDK if that makes sense but the math isnt mathing for me lol

Do we get discounts on Loungefly ears or backpacks as magic key holders? Debating buying a Loungefly online but not sure if we get a discount on them at the parks.
