Since then, Disneyland has restarted and paused Magic Key sales several times. The lowest-priced Imagine pass for Southern California residents tends to sell out first — sometimes with hours of going on sale. The higher-priced Magic Key passes can remain on sale for weeks or months — with the online sales window always closing without notice.

The $599 Imagine Key annual pass pays for itself in as few as four visits. The $1,749 Inspire pass can take four times as long.

Summer is over, so that means it’s time for the annual Disneyland price hike. The park announced today that most daily ticket prices are going up by about 6% while the top-tier Magic Key pass is rising a whopping 20%.
