Hi there, Sarah! Welcome to planDisney. I bet you are eager to use those shiny new keys to unlock the magic at the Happiest Place on Earth! Before we get too far ahead of ourselves daydreaming, let's take a look at your question.
While payment plans are offered for California residents purchasing
Magic Keys, Guests must opt into this option at the time of purchase. We've had a few Guests with a similar question, and I'm sorry to have this less-than-pixie-dusted news for you. To access the payment plan, Guests must be logged into their Disneyland account before adding the Magic Keys to their cart. This prompts the system to recognize that your address is in California and the payment plan module will reveal itself. Once a key is purchased, it is not possible to revert to the payment plan option. I can feel your frustration here and wish there was some extra magic we could source to open up that option to you! If you have any questions about your account specifically, there is a dedicated
Magic Key Guest Services team that you can reach out to at (714) 781-7277. They are the magic makers and will be able to answer any questions you may have!
With your keys in hand, I want to make sure you know about the
Magic Key Portal in the
Disneyland Mobile App. This will be your go-to for all the latest and greatest information about giveaways, special photo opportunities, and exclusive merchandise just for you. I just took a peek and noticed some new offerings for the holidays! From December 5 - 20th, receive your super cute Magic Key holiday tote! You can pick them up under the
Silly Symphony Swings in Disney California Adventure Park! While you are there, take advantage of the holiday-themed Magic Shot available just for key holders! You'll also find one over at Disneyland Park across from the
Matterhorn Bobsleds. If you're having a day enjoying all the food from
Disney Festival of the Holidays, be sure to pick up your Magic Key lanyard with the purchase of a
Sip and Savor Pass and eat those treats with a little extra wiggle room at the semi-private area across from
Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar. There's so much festive fun in the air this holiday season!
Sarah, I know this may not have been the news you were hoping for, but I sure hope you find some magic in those keys very soon. If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at
planDisney!
Be merry!
Tara
