Coming Soon!
Starting January 13, 2026, the all-new Explore Key pass will join the Magic Key family. View more details.
The link leads to an FAQ page that directly compares the new Explore Key with the current Enchant Key:

The Explore Key FAQ also provides information about the Enchant Key ending.
What is happening to the Enchant Key pass?
The Enchant Key pass will no longer be available for purchase or renewal starting January 13, 2026.
If you’re currently an Enchant Key holder, you can keep using your pass until it expires. When it’s time to renew—and you do so on or after January 13, 2026—you’ll have the option to renew into a different pass type, including the new Explore Key pass.
However, the Magic Key page is still showing the Enchant Key pass as being available for renewal:

Current Enchant Key holders received this email on November 4:
Upcoming Changes for the Enchant Key Pass
Hi Magic Key Holder,
We wanted to let you know that the Enchant Key will no longer be available for purchase or renewal starting January 13, 2026. Your current Enchant Key will remain valid until its expiration date, so you can continue enjoying its benefits until then.
If your renewal date is before January 13, you’ll still have the option to renew your Enchant Key for one more year. Beginning January 13, you’ll be able to choose from other available Magic Key types—including the new Explore Key pass, which will offer similar benefits to your current pass, plus expanded access during the summer months.
We appreciate you being a part of our Magic Key community and look forward to welcoming you back to the magic on your next visit!
The email cites the only updated perk between the new Explore Key pass and retiring Enchant Key pass: “expanded access during the summer months.” Otherwise, the only difference is the $25 price increase: the Explore Key is $999, while the Enchant Key is $974.
