    My husband and I just renewed and upgraded our Magic key passes. How long does it take to score on the app?

    Greetings, Guadalupe! From one Magic Key holder to another, I’m thrilled to welcome you to planDisney!

    How wonderfully exciting that you've not only renewed your Magic Key, but you've leveled up the magic with an upgrade! That's like discovering even more enchantment at the Happiest Place on Earth! Get ready for even more smiles, more memories, and more "Did you see that?!" moments.

    Let's dive into the mystery of seeing that upgraded Magic Key pass in your Disneyland mobile app. Now, if I'm understanding your question correctly, you're wondering how long it should take for that new pass to appear. I’ll bet you’re excited to see those extra magical benefits light up in your app, right? In most cases, this update should happen more quickly than you can say "Hakuna Matata!". When I recently helped my own spouse upgrade his pass in person at a Guest Services ticket window, it showed up in the app almost instantly. Perhaps that in-person pixie dust is what made it happen so quickly! Since you're not seeing that magic reflected just yet, my best guess is that a quick chat with a wonderful Cast Member on the Magic Key Holders hotline might do the trick. They'll be able to help you figure out exactly what's going on and get you back on track to enjoying all that enchantment in no time.

    While you're waiting for that extra sparkle to appear, let's chat about the perks that come with being a Magic Key holder, especially now that you've upgraded! Depending on which key you now hold, some of your benefits might have gotten a magical boost, too! If you have the Inspire or Believe Key, get ready to capture all those dazzling moments with complimentary Disney PhotoPass digital downloads.This is one of my favorite perks since I love to capture all of the magic and relive those special moments at home. And, speaking of favorite perks, all Magic Key passes include parking benefits! The Enchant Key, Imagine Key, and Believe Key offer discounts on parking, while the Inspire Key includes standard theme park parking at no additional cost.

    I also love Extras Unlocked—these are like surprise bursts of happiness throughout the year, offering special experiences and discounts just for Magic Key holders. You never know what delightful surprises might be waiting for you on your next visit. Visit the Extras Unlocked page for a few hints!

    Here's another magical pro tip for you, Guadalupe! Think of the Disneyland offers page as your very own guide to unlocking even more magic! You might just discover some dazzling discounts and special offers exclusively for Magic Key holders. You may find savings at the enchanting Disneyland Resort hotels, making your stay even more dreamy. Or, if your adventurous spirit is calling for a taste of the tropics, you might even find some special deals at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in beautiful Hawaii! Just imagine how delicious that Dole Whip will taste accompanied by the warm Hawaiian breeze!

    I hope you're able to see that shiny, upgraded Magic Key pop up in your app very soon, Guadalupe! If I didn't quite understand your question correctly, or if any other delightful Disney questions pop up as you plan your magical visit, please feel absolutely welcome to swing back by planDisney anytime. We're always here to help make your Disney days as magical as they can be!
