Hey there, hi there, Richard! Welcome to planDisney! We are so glad you stopped by to ask us your upgrade question!
I am excited for you! I love to hear you are planning to buy a
Magic Key pass. There's so much magic to unlock with an annual pass. It is possible to upgrade a ticket to a Magic Key as long as you do so before the end of the last day on your ticket. This can be done right in the
Disneyland app. There usually is an option to upgrade under your ticket in the "Ticket and Passes" section of the app. However, you cannot purchase a Magic Key pass first and then afterwards try to apply the price of a ticket to your payments.
As I mentioned before, you can upgrade a ticket anytime during your use, but I recommend waiting until the last day at the end of the day. This is because when you upgrade the ticket, you will lose all of the
theme park reservations if you have any days left on the ticket. Depending on the pass type you choose, those upcoming days could be blocked out or unavailable for you. We don't want plans to be ruined, so just wait.
Richard, get ready for a year of magic! Be sure to check out the Magic Key Portal in the Disneyland app to find all your discounts, Magic Key information, and even some extras!
Carrie
