2024 Disneyland Magic Key Blockout Dates (2024)

Whether you’re thinking about buying a Magic Key or simply want to know when you can –– and can’t ––visit Disneyland, these are the blockout dates you need to know.

Disneyland’s Magic Key pass program has been hugely popular with both locals and guests who simply can’t get enough of the Happiest Place on Earth since it first launched in 2021. As the replacement for the former Disneyland Annual Pass program, Magic Keys offer year-round access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park (plus plenty of other perks, like discounts on parking, food, and merch!).

While purchasing a Magic Key pass allows you to visit Disneyland Resort all year long, there is one catch: Every Magic Key comes with blockout dates. Wondering which Magic Keys offer the least blockout dates? We’re breaking down the 2024 blockout date calendar for each Key type for you.

Disneyland Magic Key Blockout Dates

Before we get to the 2024 Magic Key blockout dates, it’s important to remember that no matter which Key you purchase, you will have blockout dates. While the former Disneyland Annual Pass program did offer pass options that had no blockout dates, every level of Magic Key includes at least a few blockout dates ––meaning you’ll want to make sure you check the blockout calendar each year!

Frequently Asked Questions About Magic Key Blockout Dates

What are Disney blockout dates?

Disney blockout dates ––or Magic Key pass blockout dates ––are dates on which a particular pass type isn’t valid for admission. Simply put, if you’re a Magic Key holder who’s “blocked out,” then you cannot use your pass to enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure park on that date. You also will not be able to make a park reservation for any blockout date.

Blockout dates are common, and all Disney theme park passes have them! For example, if you’re an Annual Passholder for Walt Disney World Resort, your pass likely also has blockout dates.

Why does the Inspire Key have blockout dates?

With a hefty price, the Inspire Key is certainly an investment, and it’s the highest tier of Magic Key pass guests can purchase. However, if you’ve been a Disneyland Resort guest for a while, you may remember that the old top-tier Signature Plus pass had no blockout dates. This, unfortunately, is no longer the case for the Inspire Key. With a greater emphasis on crowd control and predicting guest numbers for each day at the parks, Disneyland no longer offers a pass that’s completely free of blockout dates.

Although the Inspire Key does have blockout dates, it’s worth noting that those blockout dates are significantly fewer in number compared to the other three Magic Key tiers. You’ll only be blocked out for one week during the holiday season with the Inspire Key (the busiest week of the entire year at Disneyland, in fact!); with the other Key passes, you’ll have far more blockout dates.

Does Disney ever lift blockout dates?

Unfortunately, once you’ve purchased your Magic Key, your blockout dates won’t change. Disney typically releases the blockout dates for each Key pass well in advance (over one year in advance, in fact) ––meaning you have plenty of warning when you purchase or renew your pass. Blockout dates can change when Magic Key passes themselves change, such as when the Dream Key was discontinued; however, it’s more likely that they will stay exactly the same year to year.

Can you get into Disneyland on a Magic Key blockout date?

Technically, you can still visit Disneyland or California Adventure (or both!) when you’re faced with a blockout date for your Magic Key. But you won’t be able to use your pass –– you’ll have to purchase a theme park ticket and make a theme park reservation to visit on blockoute dates.
