Hey there, Patrick, and welcome to planDisney! I'm always thrilled to hear when Walt Disney World Resort regulars make the cross-country trek over to the place where Walt started it all - the Happiest Place on Earth!
Unfortunately,
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passes and
Disneyland Resort Magic Key Passes are only valid for their specific resort - there are no cross benefits. However, if you are a Disney® Visa® Cardmember then there are discounts available at both resorts - including
discounted stays at the Disneyland Hotel!
Have you visited the Disneyland Resort before? If not, you are in for a treat! I just love the charm of Disneyland Park - it's amazing to know Walt walked and worked in this park. Plus, there are some experiences and attractions you'll find at the Disneyland Resort that aren't available at the Walt Disney World Resort like
Cars Land and
Avenger's Campus in Disney California Adventure Park.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention that - in this humble (and maybe slightly biased) panelist's opinion - the snacks are better at the West Coast parks! Okay, even if you disagree, we at least have
the best churros. Make sure to check the
Foodie Guide on the Disney Parks Blog for the
Disney100 celebration before your visit to get an idea of all the delicious offerings available during your visit.
Overall, you will have such a fun trip, and we are here to help! As you continue to plan, make sure to stop by with any follow-up questions you think of. We love helping people plan their best vacations ever to the Disneyland Resort. Thank you again for your question, Patrick!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
