Disneyland Replaces Enchant With $999 Explore Magic Key, Expands Weekday Summer Access

The 2026 pass calendar reflects a push toward date-based demand management that trims peak-season access.

Overview

  • Sales for the Explore Key begin January 13, 2026 (no earlier than 9 a.m. PT), and the Enchant Key will no longer be available for purchase or renewal.
  • Current Enchant holders can use their pass until it expires but cannot renew at the Enchant level once Explore launches.
  • Priced at $999, the Explore Key costs $25 more than Enchant and adds roughly 41–43 usable dates, including Sunday–Thursday access across the summer.
  • Calendar comparisons show Enchant with only four usable days across June and July 2026, underscoring reduced summer access for lower tiers.
  • Active passholders can now upgrade tiers online or in the Disneyland app by paying the full price difference, with no downgrades allowed and the original expiration date retained.
