Hello, Melissa, and welcome to planDisney!
We're glad to see you here with your question and appreciate that you stopped by! I used to live in Southern California just minutes away from the Disneyland Resort and you could almost set your clock to when you heard the fireworks going off in the evenings. There's really something special about being so close to the magic!
I'm sorry to hear that you were never able to take advantage of your Southern California Resident Ticket. The
Ticket Terms and Conditions do state that the cost of a wholly unused, expired ticket may be applied towards the purchase of a new ticket as long as the new ticket is equal or higher in value. The Southern California Ticket expires on June 2, 2024, so if your ticket has not yet been activated, you'll be able to use its cost towards a new ticket at that time.
If you want to try and use your current ticket, I would recommend making
reservations as soon as you can. As these offers near expiration, reservation availability tends to become limited as Guests try to use up their remaining days.
If you're interested, there is another
3-Day Ticket Deal on the horizon and it's priced only a bit higher than the Southern California Ticket. Tickets go on sale May 29, 2024 and will cover visits from June 10 through September 26, 2024.
Mellissa, I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please reach out to us again if you have more questions. We're happy to help and you're always welcome at planDisney! Until next time!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
