A warm welcome from all of us at planDisney to you, Yadira. It looks like your visit to the Disneyland Resort is practically here and we're delighted to help. So let's get to your question to make sure you're ready for your visit.
I'm so glad to hear that you've been taking advantage of the
California Resident Ticket Offer. If you're wondering if you can
upgrade your ticket to a Magic Key pass, I have great news for you - you absolutely can! Eligible tickets can be upgraded to Magic Key passes that are currently available for sale on the day of upgrade. On the last day of your 3-Day ticket, you can upgrade your ticket in the
Disneyland app. Tap the "☰" to open the menu and then tap the "My Tickets & Passes" tile. Find your ticket and tap the button to “Upgrade to a Magic Key Pass" and follow the prompts.
There are a few things you'll want to keep in mind before upgrading. Once you upgrade, any existing reservations or entitlements will be canceled. This means if you purchased
Lightning Lane Multi Pass with your ticket, it will no longer be valid for the rest of your park visit. It also means that once you exit the park after upgrading, you won't be able to re-enter unless you are able to obtain a theme park reservation with your new Magic Key pass. While you can upgrade right after entering the park, for these reasons, I recommend not upgrading your ticket until you are ready to leave for the day. Just make sure you complete your upgrade before midnight. I'd hate for your fate to be the same as Cinderella's and have your ticket turn into a pumpkin instead of a Magic Key. Once you've upgraded, your new Magic Key pass will be backdated to begin on the first day that your park ticket was used.
I'm so excited for you to become a
Magic Key holder. I love being a Magic Key holder and all of the magical perks that come along with being one. A couple of weeks ago, I secured my
exclusive Magic Key refillable popcorn bucket and can't wait to return for all of the refills. If you aren't already, be sure to follow
@disneylandmagickey on Instagram for the latest and greatest news and updates. I also like to check the Magic Key portal in the Disneyland app whenever I'm visiting to make sure I'm not missing out on any extras. All of these benefits are truly great, but what I think I love the most about being a Magic Key holder is being able to visit the parks whenever I need a little dose of magic.
Yadira, I hope the information I shared has been helpful and gets you on your way to unlocking a year of magic. Let us know if there's anything else that we can help with. Here's wishing you a year filled with many visits to the Happiest Place on Earth!
