    if i buy my season pass today, when will my 12 months start? i am planning on giving this as a christmas present to my daughter.

    Hi Megan! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us your question! 

    Giving your daughter a year of memories at The Happiest Place on Earth will be such a special gift for her to find under the Christmas tree! When purchasing a Disneyland Magic Key, you have one year from the date of purchase to activate it. Her Disneyland Magic Key will be activated on the date of her first visit when scanning into Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park

    I recommend that you check the Magic Key Calendar that corresponds with your pass, and make Theme Park Reservations as soon as you know when you would like to visit. If you aren't already doing so, be sure to follow Disneyland Magic Key on Instagram for the latest news and special offers for Magic Key holders. You can also check out the Magic Key Discounts you can look forward to taking advantage of.  

    If you have more questions before you arrive, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We're all ears, and we would love to help!

    Wishing you magic,
    Lisa
