Magic Key Renewals

[PirateBrigade]

The lawsuit is looking at a snapshot in time only. What is happening NOW will not impact the outcome of this suit. There is a time period in question which is Sepetmber through October 2021. That's the focus of the lawsuit.

Yeah, I was thinking post-settlement, what would form the basis of a new lawsuit? Assuming they fixed the problematic marketing copy from Sept/Oct 2021, if they did something egregious like only allot 10% of daily capacity to the AP program, it could invite another lawsuit.

I doubt it. They can allocate any amount of reservations they want as long as they are transparent about the fact that it's limited and they remove the "no blackout date" phrase. The lawsuit is only for the Dream Keys precisely because of that phrase.

The rest of the MKs who have had trouble getting reservations will simply not renew. My sister's family is in that camp.

Well, for what it's worth, we just renewed our Sorcerer Passes (today is the first day of our renewal window.)

Surprisingly, the passes are exactly the same and the base prices haven't gone up since last year. We even got a renewal discount, so the passes were cheaper. These passes are still not available for new purchases, but Disney is letting people renew them as promised.

I think that bodes well for Magic Keys. If Disney said they will let you renew, I believe they will.

Disney hasn't made any comments about the program changing at WDW. The comments from Disney make it seem like there will be some changes coming with the renewals.

Maybe, but I honestly think the changes, if any, won't be too drastic. I might be proven wrong (and I hope not), but I think the the folks on this thread will be offered an opportunity to renew, and most will be happy to do so for the price and terms offered by Disney. Let's see how it pans out.

I’m hoping it’s whatever they originally planned the new program to be. Their lead up to the magic key made it seem like they were planning some super flexible pass that you could tailor to your needs. Instead we got an annual pass only with reservations required.

I’d love to get a pass where you could choose your blackout tier, how many reservations you can hold, and how far in advance you could book.

I just read (because everything you read online is true ) that the parks have started quietly removing MK signage from stores and took the MK embroidery off the hat machines. That doesn’t sound like an impending renewal offering. Maybe someone in the park can check that out… meaning someone with actual tickets since apparently no one can use their passes lol

Magically (disappearing) Keys

I wonder what the odds are that Disney will just ghost everybody and not announce anything to anyone. Halloween time starts in a month, after all.

We’ll be there next week because we had to buy 3 day Southern California resident tickets because we are blacked out, and we have relatives coming who want to go to Disneyland. I’ll check it out!

What signage? I don't even remember seeing any signage for Magic Keys in the parks.

Has anyone been able to renew? I remember reading someone called and they said "soon more information would be available".

No. No one has been able to renew. Disney has not made it available to anyone yet.

I will be there Sat and Sun on my pass. There has actually been advertising for Magic Key perks on the Magic Key facebook page. And Magic Key Terrace is still open.

 

[Epicnemesis]

Less than 20 days until my pass expires. Would really like to plan out what our plan is.

Well sure... eek every last dollar out of those left standing lol. People were buying passes up until June so they have a whole year's worth of people to keep happy still. I don't see that as any potential for renewal options either way though.

 

[DLgal]

Don't worry, once Disney sees how low ticket sales are after MSEP and fireworks end on Sept 1, they will hustle on getting MK renewal info out.

To add to that- people could buy up until June but others (me) may have a magic key that just hasn’t been activated yet. We activate in September, so technically will be key holders until next September unless Disney changes things.

 

[Epicnemesis]

If they don’t allow renewal that’s kind of bs for my parents who bought passes in May to go with their grandkids.

It’s absolutely insane that my passes expire in a little over two weeks and we still have no clarity on the renewals when the whole year we were led to believe we would be able to.

 

[DisneylandFan22]

47 days until our keys expire and less than 60 days until the October trip we’re planning and still crickets. C’mon Disney.

 

[CodeGoddess]

I have 19 days before I have book the ADR we want. If there is no news soon guess we're buying tickets.
