How It Works

Purchase your Key to Disneyland at select shops in Disneyland Park or at World of Disney in the Downtown Disney District.

Detail about the Key to Disneyland

The Key to Disneyland interactive park experience will only be available during the Disneyland Resort 70^th anniversary celebration which starts on May 16, 2025 and runs through summer 2026. The key can be purchased and used to unlock 1 of 9 commemorative trading pins at any time during celebration dates.

Other details of importance:

Commemorative trading pins are not available for separate purchase.
Some guests may want to collect all nine commemorative trading pins which will require at least nine different keys. However, since the commemorative trading pins are issued randomly, it is not guaranteed that you will receive a different pin with each redemption. So, guests may want to trade with other guests to try and collection all nine commemorative trading pins.
The Key to Disneyland and associated trading pins are not refundable, exchangeable or returnable.

The key and interactive experience is intended for ages 4 and up.
Theme park reservations and valid admission for Disneyland Park are required for entry and to participate in unlocking the magic at each of the nine lock stations.
