Hey there, Ivan!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for submitting your question to us! I'm always happy to help out a fellow
Magic Key Holder here and I hope you've been happy with the year of Magic that you've unlocked with your Key. Disney has done a wonderful job of making us Key Holders feel special and there are plenty of opportunities and merchandise just for us!
As you've already stated, you would need to purchase a standard Disneyland Resort Theme Park Ticket if you would like to visit on one of your Magic Key's blockout dates or if Magic Key reservations were unavailable. But I'm happy to report that you will still get your discount on applicable food and merchandise throughout the Disneyland Resort. However, the
Magic Key Terms and Conditions do state that parking benefits are subject to applicable Pass blockout dates. In addition, the Magic Key discount on
Lightning Lane Multi Pass would not apply since the Magic Key was not used for admission. Finally,
Disney PhotoPass benefits are only good when the Magic Key is valid for admission but you may still use special Magic Key exclusive photo ops and Magic Shots.
As an aside, I just checked the Magic Key reservation calendar for the date you stated and there appears to be availability for the Inspire Key on that day and a few after it as well. You might want to double check for reservations before purchasing a ticket just to make sure.
Are you excited for the Grand Opening of
Tiana's Bayou Adventure? I'm really hyped for this attraction to make its West Coast debut! If your visit extends more than one day, they'll be holding special Magic Key Previews for this attraction that weekend before the Grand Opening on November 15, 2024!
Ivan, thanks again for coming to us and I hope you found this helpful. Don't hesitate to write again if you have any more questions. You're always welcome at planDisney!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
