Hiya, Kristin!
I have good news. A valid
Southern California resident weekday ticket is eligible to be upgraded to a
Disneyland Resort Magic Key. To
upgrade an eligible ticket to a new Magic Key pass, use the
Disneyland mobile app. From the ☰ feature menu, open the “Tickets and Passes” screen and use the “Upgrade to a Magic Key Pass” button from the view of your ticket. The amount paid for the original theme park ticket will count toward the required down payment. And since you are a California resident, you may opt to pay for the balance of the Magic Key in 12 monthly payments. Be sure to request the upgrade before midnight of the day you use the third day of the pass or before midnight of the day the ticket expires, May 25, 2023, whichever comes first. The expiration date for the new pass will be 12 months from the first day the original park ticket was activated and used. Also, note that a
theme park ticket may only be upgraded to a pass type that is also
currently available for new Magic Key sales.
Tony’s Tip: When upgrading a theme park ticket to a Magic Key pass, the existing park ticket along with any
theme park reservations booked for the ticket will be canceled. Be sure to check the
Magic Key Access Calendar for the availability of upcoming park reservations. You can make park reservations with your new Magic Key from the ‘+’ menu of the Disneyland mobile app.
I hope you enjoy becoming a member of the Magic Key family. We have been Magic Key holders since they first went on sale in August of 2021. I have to smile when I remember that theme park admission for our visits to the Disneyland Resort is already covered. It’s great to keep going back for more magic time after time.
Have a magical time, Kristin!
