This was us…. We were stuck with the Enchant Key because by the time we knew we were relocating to SC, they’d stopped selling Believe and Dream. So we ended up having to to also buy a 3 day ticket this summer, because everyone came to visit and we were blocked out this summer. We can’t renew until January, but I’m really hoping by then we can upgrade.
I really don’t know what we’ll do if we can’t, because we already have family who have big plans to do Disneyland next summer for multiple days, and I really can’t stomach buying another Enchant pass and multi day tickets next summer.
We are also in the same boat, except our Enchant Keys don’t expire until March. I gave birth the day after they first started selling Keys and wasn’t ready to commit to using the Keys when we had a newborn. We made our first trips back to the parks after we had the baby in October for OBB and had planned on going at the beginning of December and purchasing Believe Keys (because the Dream keys were gone). But by the time our trip came around, the Believe Keys were gone, as well. So we just bought day tickets in December hoping the Dream or Believe would become available next year after the holidays. March came around and we finally gave in and bought Enchant Keys.
Disney has missed out on a LOT of money from our family in the last year, and only part of it was from having a baby. We sent our 15 year old to Disneyland with her friends several times this summer on day tickets. We want to go next summer and, if we’re unable to upgrade our passes in March to a higher tier pass, I think this will be the end of the line for us. I’m not going to say we won’t return to DLR, but we will cut back on the number of visits/tickets we purchase substantially because we will not be renewing at the Enchant level. I guess we will see what happens come end-of-February when our renewal window opens.
