    Can we use a Disney gift card to purchase lightning lane passes as a magic key holder?

    Hi, Melissa!

    Welcome to planDisney. Hearing from other Magic Key passholders always makes me happy! Having a Magic Key pass makes it that much easier to visit Disneyland Resort more often. I love that!

    I actually purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass with a Disney Gift Card last week. It was super simple! To make it even easier, save your Disney Gift Card to your account on the Disney Gift Card website. When it's time to complete your Lightning Lane purchase in the Disneyland app, select "Use a Different Payment Method." Your Disney Gift Card should automatically appear under "Gift and Rewards Cards," which you can then use to complete your order. I'm loving this new feature!

    Make sure you use the same MyDisney account information for both the Disney Gift Card website and the Disneyland app to help ensure that it will automatically appear in your Disneyland account. Guests can also usually enter their Disney Gift Card information manually into the app if it doesn't automatically appear, in my experience. Using a Disney Gift Card to skip the standby lines on many attractions sounds like an excellent idea!

    Have you dined at the Magic Key terrace yet? If not, try making a reservation for your upcoming visit. I recommend ordering their unique twist on a classic Caesar salad if it's available. The Chicken Milanese Caesar Salad includes breaded and fried chicken breast, charred broccolini, romaine lettuce, and pepitas with a Caesar dressing. Yummy! The Focaccia Pizza and Chocolate Torte are also delicious. 

    Melissa, have a great time at Disneyland next week (and have a churro for me)! Don't hesitate to send another question to planDisney if you have more questions.

    Magic Happens!
