Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Jane. I hope you've been enjoying your year of magic and all the benefits that come with being a
Magic Key holder.
Let's talk parking. I'm delighted to share that you can absolutely use your Magic Key parking perk without a theme park reservation to visit the
Downtown Disney District, as long as your pass is not blocked out on the day of your visit. Keep in mind that you will need to park at the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Parking Structure or the Toy Story Parking Area to receive your parking entitlement. If you park at the structure, you know what that means...parking tram ride! Did you know there's also a handy dandy
Car Locator in the
Disneyland app to help you remember where you parked? This has saved me many extra steps after a long day of walking.
A day in Downtown Disney is a great way to add some magic to your trip before or after you visit the parks. Don't forget that there are locations that offer
food and merchandise discounts for Magic Key holders as well. One of my favorite places to grab a quick meal is
Seoul Sister in the
Parkside Market. I also can't wait for Porto’s Bakery & Café to open. Construction just started, which is very exciting. I can taste the cheese rolls now. If you haven't already, you can check out
@downtowndisney on Instagram to see what's happening in the district.
Jane, I hope this is helpful for your upcoming visit. If any other questions come to mind, please come back to visit us. Thanks for stopping by!
