Disney+ has been pumping out a ton of exclusive content. But is the hard work paying off? ©Disney Over the past couple of months, Disney’s streaming service has released Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ms. Marvel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Lightyear. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg…there’s a lot more content on Disney+ right now (we’d just be sitting here for a long time if we listed it all out). And today, Disney met for the Fiscal Year Quarter 3 Earnings Call to discuss how Disney+ is doing. Disney reported that Disney+ subscribers rose to a total of 152.1 million this quarter, which is higher than the 147.76 million that analysts predicted. At this same time last year, Disney+ had 116 million subscribers — that means Disney+ saw a 31% increase in subscribers since July 3rd, 2021, with 14.4 million subscribers added in just the fiscal second quarter of 2022. ©Disney Their total number of subscriptions across all offerings, including Hulu and ESPN+, is 221.1 million. ©Hulu Hulu specifically saw an 8% increase in subscribers, while ESPN+ saw a 53% increase. ©ESPN We’ll continue to update you on Disney+ subscribers as numbers are updated in the future.

As fans of Disney, we’re used to unique, innovative ideas. Blue and Green Milk We’re talking about interesting creations like Bantha milk, Mickey-head shaped snacks, food made with Pym Particles, and waaaaay more! But Disney isn’t the only company experimenting with creative foods and drinks. For example, Coca-Cola’s newest flavor comes with a virtual DJ. (You read that right.) After sipping on your last Coca-Cola, did you feel like something was missing? An interactive experience, perhaps? Well, according to CNN, Coca-Cola’s new flavor, Dreamworld, will come with a “virtual, augmented-reality music experience.” This can be accessed with the can or bottle’s QR code, which allows customers to listen to music from a virtual DJ and play games. Customers can also get outfits inspired by the drink for their avatar to wear! ©CNN via Coca-Cola The Dreamworld flavor will be available in the United States and Canada starting August 15th, and will come in zero-sugar and regular varieties. As for the flavor, all we know is that the drink is inspired by the “world of dreams” and will add a “dash of vibrant flavors” to the normal taste of Coca-Cola. EPCOT 50th Anniversary Coca-Cola Bottle We’re excited to see what dreams taste like! While we wait for the release, check out the Coca-Cola Store you can visit in Disney Springs. And since we’re heading into the spooooky season, check out the Halloween-inspired drink they offered at this location last year. And, as always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!

A big part of Disney World has been shut down for MONTHS without any significant update from Disney on its status. Blizzard Beach Though Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park has opened, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park has been closed since January of 2022. Yes, that’s right. One of Disney’s water parks has remained totally CLOSED throughout the entire HOT Florida summer. So, what gives? Here’s what we know. Reopening and Closure Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 4 of Disney’s theme parks, its water parks, and more closed. The theme parks reopened part-way through 2020, but it wasn’t until March of 2021 that Blizzard Beach finally reopened. Blizzard Beach Water Park We got a special preview of the water park, and then attended the official reopening. During our time there, we checked out what it was like to wear a mask at the park (which was then required), and shared a peek at the refillable mugs. We also shared full reviews of the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich, the Frozen Black Cherry Lemonade, and our Sand Pail FULL of ice cream. Yup, It Definitely Has That “Wow” Factor But Blizzard Beach’s opening didn’t last all that long. Less than a year later — on January 2nd, 2022 — Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishment. ©Disney Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon reopened on the same date to accommodate the closure. Its reopening came with some colorful ice cream treats, create-your-own DOLE Whip, a SPICY DOLE Whip cocktail, and other water park fun. Click here for our FULL coverage of Typhoon Lagoon’s reopening! Since early January of 2022, Typhoon Lagoon has remained open while Blizzard Beach has been closed. So…what’s going on? Refurbishment Well, the first thing to know is that long water park closures to take care of those refurbishments aren’t unusual for Disney World. For example, back in 2019, Blizzard Beach closed in September and then reopened in January of 2020. Closures for the water parks aren’t at all uncommon during the winter months. These are the months when Disney World gets “colder” and thus guests may not be as inclined to hop in the water. It makes sense to take advantage of that time to do some refurbishments and get the water parks ready for the summer season. Tobaggan Racers at Blizzard Beach According to our friends at AllEars, Blizzard Beach closed from late October 2017 to early January 2018, and Typhoon Lagoon followed soon after — closing in early January 2018 and reopening in March 2018. In October 2018, Blizzard Beach once again closed through early January 2019. Typhoon Lagoon followed after, closing until mid-March. So you can see the trend there — typically one water park closes during the later part of the year and reopens early the next year, at which point the other water park closes for a few months and then reopens — with both fully operational through the summer to accommodate all guests. Water Slides at Blizzard Beach But that’s not what has happened here. Blizzard Beach closed in early January of 2022, at which point Typhoon Lagoon reopened. But, Blizzard Beach has yet to reopen. We’re well through the “main” part of summer for 2022, and still, there hasn’t been any Blizzard Beach update from Disney. The Current Status The Blizzard Beach website still notes that the park is closed for refurbishment and does not provide any reopening date. In fact, the calendar on the Blizzard Beach page lets us scroll all the way to February 5th, 2023, but no times are listed available for that date. Inner tubes But it does look like refurbishments are underway. On August 7th, 2022, bioreconstruct shared some aerial images of the water park via Twitter. It appears that there is a crane staged near the park (on the left side of the photo), indicating that construction is still going on. Over the past few months, we have also seen some permits filed related to Blizzard Beach including one for “general construction” on an address tied to Melt-Away Bay (which is within Blizzard Beach). That permit has an expiration date of 7/21/2023 though, so that could indicate a longer construction period than expected. There was also another permit filed to “install show elements” at an address associated with Tikes Peak (another spot within Blizzard Beach). This one didn’t specify an expiration date (meaning it’ll be a default of 1 year from the date of recording — which was back in May of 2022). Where first? So things are moving forward but it looks like there could still be a lot of work left to do. One planDisney Cast Member told a guest that the water park was initially expected to reopen in the Spring (which would have made sense and given it the chance to open for the hot summer season), but “it remains closed, and we are not sure when the expected reopening date will be.” Blizzard Beach’s future reopening remains a bit of a mystery at this point. It seems that work is actively being done there, but things may still have a ways to go. In the meantime, Typhoon Lagoon is open for all your water park needs.

Have you thought about stepping outside the box for your next Disney vacation? Disney Wish Cruise Ship If you’re a typical run-of-the-mill Disney World vacationer, you might want to try something a bit different for your upcoming trip. Two options that have been very popular of late are the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser and Disney Cruise Line sailings. But if you’re trying to decide between the two, which one is more worth your time…and money? We’re breaking it down. One of the big questions in 2022 has been: should I visit the new Star Wars hotel or take a Disney cruise? The experience you get “onboard” the Halcyon (that’s the name of the Starcruiser ship) is similar to that of a cruise, but there are some key differences. Then, with the addition of the Disney Wish cruise ship in summer 2022, the decision became even more challenging. So today, we’re comparing the two to see which one might be right for you! Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Let’s start things out at Disney World’s newest “hotel,” the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. This addition is less like a traditional resort and more like an immersive 2-day storytelling experience. While onboard the Halcyon, guests will get the chance to “live their Star Wars story” by completing missions, interacting with characters, dressing in theme, and more. A room on Halcyon! When we stayed at the Galactic Starcruiser, we were pretty impressed with all the activities available. Guests will participate in things like bridge training and lightsaber lessons, but there are plenty of optional additions as well, like droid racing, mixology classes, dance lessons, and more. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser atrium Also, we have to mention the food! Guests of the Starcruiser will get three meals a day, as well as some snack offerings in the atrium. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the variety of food during our trip, and you’ll even get some pretty great entertainment during dinnertime. Crown of Corellia Dining Room But what will this experience cost you? Well, it’s not cheap! For two guests to stay at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser most weeknights from mid-August to mid-September of 2022, it’ll be about $4809 total. That’s $1209 per guest, per night. Stormtroopers aboard the ship Included in your stay are food and beverages (excluding alcohol and specialty drinks), two nights in your cabin, ongoing entertainment, one-day admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for your visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, valet parking, and an exclusive MagicBand. That’s quite a lot, but it’s still a pretty hefty price for just two days! The transport pod! For a Star Wars fan or someone who enjoys interactive games (think like a murder mystery party, but without the murder mystery aspect), this could well be one of the best vacations out there. It’s truly unique when compared to other experiences and we had a blast during our two trips. However, it’s certainly not the most relaxing trip you’ll ever take — we were busy CONSTANTLY during our visit. Read This Before You Shell Out $5000 for Disney’s Star Wars Hotel — Click Here! Disney Cruise Line But what about a Disney cruise? You may have sailed before, but if you haven’t sailed the Disney way, then you’re missing out on some serious magic. Think about all the relaxing fun of a regular cruise, but add in your favorite characters and movies, plus top-notch Disney entertainment. Castaway Cay Disney Cruise Line is currently home to five ships, with more planned for the future. If you want to set sail, you can choose destinations all around the world, from the Bahamas and the Caribbean to Europe and Alaska. Voyages are available for as short as two nights or as long as two weeks — it all varies depending on your budget and your destination. Disney Dream When you sail with Disney, meals are included in the price! You’ll be able to pick up breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a variety of restaurants onboard your ship. For dinner specifically, you’ll enjoy rotational dining between three main restaurants. For an upcharge, you can choose to visit one of the adults-only restaurants available onboard. We’ve had some pretty spectacular meals on Disney cruises in the past, and we certainly won’t complain about unlimited eats! Tables inside Arendelle: A Frozen Adventure When it comes to cost for the Disney Cruise Line, you could save significantly compared to the Starcruiser (depending on your experience and accommodations). When looking at the same timeframe as we used above, we pulled two different examples of cruises that guests could take. First, you could do a 3-night Bahamian cruise from Miami on the Disney Dream from September 16th-19th, 2022. This particular sailing offers the Halloween on the High Seas celebrations, and two adults could stay in an inside stateroom for $1141. To upgrade to an Oceanview stateroom, it would be $1165. Castaway Cay But what about those who want to sail on the NEW Disney Wish? On that ship, you could sail from September 9th-12th, 2022 to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral. For an inside stateroom, it would cost two adults $2292, and for an Oceanview it would be $2466. The Disney Wish cruise ship Included in the cost of your Disney cruise are your meals (excluding alcohol and some specialty dining locations), your stateroom accommodations, soft drinks at meals and beverage stations, snacks and ice cream, Disney character meet and greets, and entertainment including Broadway-style productions and Disney movies. Disney Wish atrium The cruise is a much more relaxed vacation, although you could “level it up” with port excursions and bonus activities to fill out your schedule. Many people are dedicated Disney cruise fans, and repeat sailers can actually get perks and early booking opportunities. Plus, a Disney cruise offers the added thrill of traveling to somewhere new and exotic, pulling you out of that “Disney World vacation comfort zone.” We Cruised on the Disney Wish, Here’s What We Would Pack Next Time! So which option is best? Well, if you’re traveling on a budget, it’s undeniable that a Disney cruise is going to be the more affordable option — if you stay in the cheaper stateroom categories and don’t go overboard on the upgrades, that is. Also, it’s important to note that the prices mentioned above were for a 3-night cruise, whereas the experience at the Starcruiser is just two nights. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser But while the Disney cruise is a good bit cheaper, we also have to give some points to the Galactic Starcruiser for originality. The idea of a 2-day live-in adventure is something we haven’t seen before in this particular realm of vacations. There are a lot of cool possibilities with that construct, and if the idea of stepping into a Star Wars story is something that excites you, then it might be worth the extra dough. Disney Wish Really, it just comes down to preference. What are your vacation needs? Do you prefer to relax and unwind or try something new? Do you want to venture out further geographically or stay close to the familiar environment of Disney World? Both of these options could actually be added to the beginning or end of a Disney World vacation pretty effectively, you’ll just need to consider the added cost of transportation if you do a cruise and theme park trip back-to-back. No matter which you choose, make sure to keep following along with DFB for the best tips on how to navigate your trip and get the most bang for your buck.

It’s no secret that Disney World has gotten increasingly more expensive over the years. Magic Kingdom More and more free offerings have been replaced with paid versions in the parks, and guests have been feeling the squeeze for quite some time. But according to a new report, Disney World actually isn’t the most expensive theme park in the United States — in fact, it’s not even the most expensive theme park in Florida! Price increases can affect every part of a Disney vacation — hotel, tickets, food, souvenirs — and with many feeling their purse strings tightening lately, guests might be looking for a different and potentially less expensive theme park to visit. But, if you were under the impression that Disney World is the costliest park to get into — you are sorely mistaken. Main Street, U.S.A. According to WKMG Orlando, a study by The Family Vacation Guide has revealed that Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is the world’s most expensive theme park for 2022, with a whopping 1-day ticket starting price of $117.94. ©Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Walt Disney World was ranked next, with a starting 1-day, 1-park ticket price of $109. Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure were tied for third place at $105 per ticket, though Universal has since raised their prices to $109 per ticket per day. Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio came in last out of the 10 on the list, with one-day tickets starting at $82. Universal Studios Orlando Of course, these numbers are only taking into account the price of a one-day ticket and don’t compare other costs that would normally contribute to how expensive your theme park visit might be. Based solely on one-day ticket prices, though, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay takes the cake. Hollywood Studios So, what can you do if you’re faced with an expensive Disney World vacation? Well, there are ways you can save on your trip. Ticket and hotel deals can be found if you know where to look, and we’ve even rounded up a list of cheap but filling snacks in Disney World too. Plus, planning your trip far in advance can give you time to budget and save up for that special experience or souvenir you’ve been wanting!

A not-so-magical truth about Disney World is that there are a lot of looong lines in the parks. Some of the most popular rides regularly have wait times over an hour, and on busy days those lines get even longer. End of line sign for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Whether you’re looking to get a snack, hop on a ride, or see a show, you’ll likely have to wait in line. There are ways to skip the lines, though! You can purchase Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes, and some rides have single-rider lines as well. But did you know you can skip a long line even BEFORE you get to Disney World? If you usually fly to Disney World, you may already be familiar with the Orlando International Airport. With multiple popular theme parks in Orlando, this airport can get very crowded, and the security screening lines often reflect that. Orlando Airport in August 2021 However, this airport (and many other airports in the US) has the option for passengers to enroll in TSA PreCheck, which allows those authorized travelers to skip the long wait and hop into a separate line at security, which generally moves much faster than the normal lines. In fact, the Orlando airport has said that TSA PreCheck passengers usually wait less than 5 minutes in security screening lines! Orlando International Airport Previously, people had to apply for TSA PreCheck at home or reserve an appointment in order to get authorization to use that special line. But now the Orlando International Airport has launched a new TSA PreCheck enrollment initiative for anyone traveling through the airport. That means you can enroll in TSA PreCheck at the airport without reserving an appointment, and the process to enroll should take 5 minutes or less. Orlando International Airport You can enroll as you depart for your trip, and you won’t need an appointment to do so. To enroll, find the IDEMIA TSA PreCheck Enrollment Ambassadors at the security screening area in the Orlando International Airport. They are located in front of the security checkpoint for gates 1-59, on the South Walk side of the airport. Here are the hours of operation for the TSA PreCheck Enrollment: Monday: 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM Tuesday: 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM Wednesday: 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM Thursday: 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM Friday: 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM Saturday: CLOSED Sunday CLOSED On to Disney World! It takes 3 to 5 days to be approved, so people won’t be approved on the spot and immediately be able to access TSA PreCheck lines on that trip. However, anyone who applies on-site will be able to use the MCO Reserve Lane at the security checkpoint on the day that they apply. This lane also goes faster than the normal line, although it still requires people to go through the normal TSA security screening. And then, once you’re approved, you can use the PreCheck line on all future flights (at airports with TSA PreCheck) for the next 5 years! Orlando International Airport To enroll, you’ll need to pay $85 and show a valid ID and proof of citizenship (a passport or birth certificate). You’ll also be required to take a photo during the enrollment process. While you can’t be immediately approved for your current trip, you’ll be able to use it (if you’re approved) on your next visit to an airport that also has PreCheck available. If you’re hoping to use TSA PreCheck sooner, you can apply online to be approved before you arrive at the airport. You can also apply online Of course, because the enrollment station is before the security screening, you won’t be able to enroll when you arrive at the airport on your next visit to Disney World (unless you exit, turn around, and head back into the airport to enroll). But you can enroll on your return trip home! And some other airports are also launching this initiative, including the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, and the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport. Check at the airport you fly out of to see if they have this new enrollment process! Let’s go! The TSA PreCheck enrollment initiative isn’t the only change coming to the Orlando International Airport, though. Currently, the airport is building the new Terminal C, which has already confirmed that 11 airlines will call the terminal home and over 24 food locations are coming as well. This terminal is expected to open on September 19th of this year.

In case you haven’t already noticed, we’re a little bit obsessed with the Halloween season in Disney World. Halloween decor in Disney World From spooky snacks and souvenirs to frightful fun at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there’s so much to experience during the fall season in the parks. Our first sign came in the form of pumpkins and jack-o’-lanterns lining a few of the buildings here and there on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom, and then we noticed a few more pumpkin pals — this time in the form of scarecrows — and now, Halloween is one step closer to being in full swing because the Cinderella Carriage Pumpkin Wreaths are BACK! The time has finally come — it’s spooky season! We’ve been waiting on the edges of our seats for all of the festival fall decor to arrive in the parks, and slowly but surely our patience has paid off. We caught a glimpse of some terrifyingly cute scarecrows and checked out all the jack-o’-lanterns, and now it really feels like Halloween is here because the Cinderella Carriage Pumpkin Wreaths have arrived in Magic Kingdom! We first saw these pumpkin wreaths debut last year just in time for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and it looks like Disney has brought them back to continue the celebrations. The Cinderella Carriage Pumpkin Wreaths are BACK! You might remember that before we had Cinderella Carriage pumpkin wreaths, the lamp posts on Main Street, U.S.A. and in front of Cinderella Castle were decked out with Mickey Pumpkin Wreaths instead. We’re not sure if Disney has anything planned with the Mickey wreaths or if we’ll ever see them again, but you can be sure we’ll be keeping an eye out. Cinderella Pumpkin Wreaths are BACK If you’re ready for the spooky season in Disney World, head on over to Magic Kingdom to get your fall fix — just beware of any hitchhiking ghosts that might want to come home with you! More decorations have arrived. Can’t get enough Disney Halloween news? Reservations for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party fireworks dessert parties have opened up, and you can read more about that here. Plus, check out the new inflatable Disney Halloween costumes we found online here, and you can shop for NEW Halloween ears here.

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. Things have been constantly changing in the world of international travel. Orlando International Airport Over the past two years or so, we’ve seen travel bans, new airline rules, destination closures, and much more. Many Americans look to the CDC for advice and best travel practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, the CDC has added two more destinations to the “high risk” travel category. According to CNN Travel, the CDC has now added Jordan and Sint Eustatius to the Level 3 “high” risk category. Jordan is a popular destination in the Middle East and Sint Eustatius is a small Dutch Caribbean island. COVID-19 Warning Sign The CDC monitors roughly 235 locations, and currently, more than half of those places are categorized as Level 3. The classification applies to “places that have had more than 100 cases per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days. Level 2 and Level 1 are considered “moderate” and “low” risk, respectively.” Currently, many top travel locations are in this category, including spots like France, Germany, Greece, Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and more. Mask sign This list has been updated multiple times in the past few weeks, with new locations getting added as COVID-19 case numbers change around the world. We’ll continue to keep you updated as the CDC changes its recommendations. Follow along with DFB for more news on travel guidelines around the globe.

The status of Disneyland’s annual pass program is a bit of a mystery right now. Exclusive Magic Key Lounge Magic Key Passes (the updated version of Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program) were introduced in 2021. Some sold out and pass sales were later paused. So no new Magic Key passes are being sold at the moment. But what if you already bought a pass before and want to renew it? There are a lot of questions there. Today we’re breaking down what we know. What Has Happened With Magic Key So Far? Magic Key Passes went on sale on August 25th, 2021. There were 4 pass types introduced at the time, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. For example, the Dream Key (priced at $1,399) has the ability to make 6 theme park reservations at the same time, get 20% off merchandise, and other perks. ©Disney Then, in October of 2021, the priciest Magic Key Pass (the Dream Key) sold out. In November of 2021, another Magic Key Pass — the Believe Key — sold out. Then things got really interesting. In May of 2022, the Enchant Key and Imagine Key were also made temporarily unavailable. In other words, sales were paused on ALL Magic Key types in May of 2022. Key Holder This update came not long after a $5 MILLION lawsuit was filed regarding the Magic Key passes and Disneyland’s Park Pass reservation system. The lawsuit was originally filed in December of 2021 by a Magic Key Pass holder (specifically one with a Dream Key) who claimed that Disney “deceived its most loyal fan base by artificially limiting theme park capacity and blocking passholders with ‘no blockout’ annual passes from making reservations.” (Dream Key Passes do not have blockout dates.) The lawsuit alleged that while Magic Key reservations were frequently unavailable on weekends and other dates, guests with daily admission tickets had more availability for the Park Pass system. The lawsuit claimed that on some days that were marked as “sold out” for Magic Key holders, there were still Park Pass reservations available for visitors with regular tickets (not Magic Key holders). The complaint alleged that Disney was “engaging in unfair, unlawful and deceptive business practices” and accused Disney of “breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and false advertising.” Magic Key Reusable Straw A big update on the lawsuit was shared in mid-May of 2022. At that point, it was revealed that a judge denied Disney’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The Judge dismissed some of the lawsuit but has allowed 2 specific claims to go forward. The 2 that are moving forward are breach of contract and a claim under the California Consumer Protection Act. In making this decision, the court determined that the “plaintiff has adequately pled facts supporting how a reasonable consumer may be deceived by the advertisement, which states ‘no blockout dates.'” That decision was shared in mid-May and all Magic Key Pass sales were then paused at the end of May, just days later. Magic Key Popcorn Bucket Since that point in time, no Magic Key passes have been on sale. ©Disneyland The Magic Key website continues to note that the Magic Key Passes are all “currently unavailable.” What About Renewals? The issue now is not necessarily the purchase of new passes, but a concern surrounding renewals. Magic Key passes are valid for 1 year from the date of activation. For those who bought a pass right when they were released and activated them right away, that expiration date might be just a few days away from becoming reality. Those who upgraded existing theme park tickets to a Magic Key Pass may have already hit that expiration date. That’s because Magic Key passes are generally backdated to the first date that the theme park ticket being upgraded was used. The Magic Key Slush! So what’s going on? Back in May of 2022, the Los Angeles Times shared a statement from Disneyland spokesperson Jaime Clower regarding the pause of Magic Key Pass sales. At that time, Clower said, “It’s all about managing the guest experience.” Clower also indicated that Disneyland “plans to let current pass holders renew their passes this summer. More details will be released at a later date.” We got a similar response from a Cast Member via chat back in May. When we reached out to a Disney Cast Member about the renewal issue they told us, “This summer, we will offer all current Magic Key holders who are in the renewal window the opportunity to renew into one of several passes available in the program. We will share details about renewals at a later date.” Magic Key Lounge Summer technically ends in the Northern Hemisphere on September 22nd, giving Disney a little over a month left to meet that “summer” promise regarding an opportunity for renewal. But by that point, many Magic Key Pass holders may have already met their expiration dates without any information. It’s also worth noting that the Magic Key Pass website says (in fine print), “Pass types are limited in quantity, and passes may no longer be available for purchase and/or renewal at any time.” But another part of the Disneyland website (where the Magic Key terms and conditions are housed) says, “All Pass types are available for renewal unless explicitly stated otherwise.” Sleeping Beauty Castle The Magic Key terms & conditions define “renewal” as “the purchase of another year (or specified period of the Pass if different than a year) of Pass benefits before the expiration date of a currently existing and valid Pass.” This could change, however, given that Disneyland has not shared any Magic Key renewal news. It could instead become similar to Disney World where passes can be renewed up to a certain amount AFTER the expiration date. Disney California Adventure Overall, it seems Disney is well aware of the concerns surrounding the situation. In a response from a Disney panelist to a guest question on the planDisney website, the Disney panelist said “Magic Key holders are anxiously awaiting word about their renewals.” The Disney panelist went on to note that they don’t know when an announcement will be made. But they did note that once the announcement is made, guests may see an option to renew their passes in the “Ticket and Passes” section of the Disneyland app. Red Car Trolley! The lawsuit about Magic Key passes that claim to have no blockout dates and yet are limited by the Park Pass system could be causing some complications for Disney and concerns about offering the passes at all (or at least the highest level of the pass). Disney also has the D23 Expo coming up, along with an earnings call, during which they could provide an update on the situation. They may be waiting for these meetings to take place to break the “big news.” Disneyland also once had upwards of 1 million annual passholders under their old system, and they may still be working out some things with balancing the new system. In the meantime, it looks like Magic Key holders are stuck “anxiously awaiting word about their renewals.” Groot at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus We’ll be watching for more updates on the Magic Key situation and will let you know what we find.
