I wonder how long the lower 3 levels will last. I believe the inspire key has continued to remain on sale since the last round in January.

It is odd to start selling those again now, considering how close summer is and all the blackout dates. Not a great value to buy one now.

SO im going in the summer and if somehow I can upgrade to them then, I might do it.

You don't have to activate it now

What are your dates? You won't be able to upgrade into a pass that is blocked out during your visit, I don't think. I doubt they will still all be on sale by summer.

True. Forgot about that.

From what I can see with my dates of travel this year is that I want to go in December and on the weekends during peak times so the incredipass is the only option for me. I would rather just get the single day tickets. Maybe they will eventually redo the blockout dates, but all of them seem really restrictive, why pay the $1000's?

Can an imagine key be upgraded to another key online?

There is no Incredipass at Disneyland. Did you mean Inspire Key?

Sorry, I looked at both resort annual passes, Yes I meant the inspire key. The believe key still had some dates blocked out during the times we would go, I still can't believe the inspire key has Christmas week blocked and it is $1599

This coming holiday season will be year 2 with the top pass being blocked that week so I am not expecting changes to block out dates at this point.

It's a great value for locals at that price. We don't do the parks Christmas week anyway. No loss. I've more than gotten my money's worth with our family's Inspire keys. We have done 19 visits and still have 4 more months to go in our passes. It doesn't make sense for non locals who aren't parking at the parks frequently.

Looks like the Believe Key has added more block out dates the week before Thanksgiving. Looks like park hoppers with Genie+ for me instead!

I think all of the added blockout dates are definitely to control crowds, but also to somewhat discourage non locals to buy passes. They added a ton of blackout dates for believe.

I'm in the same boat. We had APs for years and an Enchant key the first year, but we let it lapse due to block out dates. We own at VGC and go probably 3 times a year for 4+/- days--all of those are over weekends and some on holidays, including Christmas every few years. It used to make sense for us to have APs and the last year before the pandemic we had Signature Plus. Now with all the block out dates and the block on Christmas, I can't justify it.

An inspire key requires 4+ trips of 4-5 days for us. I priced out tickets at UT, and our two trips next year that I know about would be about $880 per person for 9 days of park hoppers. We don't park and we have discounts for DVC so it's all about the parks for us.

I wish there was something Disney would do for non-locals. I think they are leaving money on the table with people like me who go multiple times and if we had passes would be likely to go more often.

UT tickets here I come! (And you can get Genie+ added with those so you don't have to deal with it at 7 am).

I never understood how UT can do this but direct Disney cannot?

Does the blockout calendar change at all? Looking at an Enchant key but am on the fence, if the blockout calendar for January 2024 stays the same I am good but I'm not sure if they can add more blockout days later?

Disney World is releasing a pass for DVC. I haven’t done the math… would be interesting to see if it’s worthwhile for DVC.

I bought tickets for my sister last week and was able to add Genie plus. What am I missing???? Will I need to do something extra when we scan in?
