    Looking at the SoCal Resident Pass. I recently moved from NorCal to SoCal & updated my address with DMV. I haven't received a new DL yet but have a signed paper noting the changed address attached to my DL. Would this suffice to get into the park?

    Hey there, Kristin! Welcome to planDisney, and a big, warm welcome to sunny Southern California! It sounds like you've just landed closer to the magic, and I'm absolutely thrilled to help you plan your adventures to the Happiest Place on Earth!

    The Southern California Resident Ticket unlocks three magical days of adventure at the Disneyland Resort—perfect for spreading out the fun and soaking up all the wonder!

    This ticket is a special perk for our SoCal neighbors residing within a particular set of ZIP codes. To join the fun, you'll need a valid, government-issued photo ID. And, Kristin, since your official photo ID is still on its way, you'll need to wait just a little bit longer. Unfortunately, the printed temporary ID won't quite work as it's not an official photo ID, and we wouldn't want you to miss out on the fun!

    But hold on to your Mickey ears, because there's a silver lining! These SoCal Resident Tickets are valid through May 15, 2025! That means you have plenty of time to secure your official ID and then embark on your adventure. Just imagine: three days to ride Space Mountain, meet your favorite characters, and indulge in delicious treats! And, a friendly reminder from the Fairy Godmother: don't forget to book a theme park reservation for each day you plan to visit!

    Now, Kristin, I know you're asking about the SoCal Resident Ticket, but have you ever dreamed of having a Magic Key? It's like having a golden ticket to a year filled with enchantment! As a California resident—anywhere in the state, not just SoCal—you can even spread the cost across 12 monthly payments!

    If you find yourself daydreaming about Disneyland more often than not, a Magic Key pass might just be your perfect match. There are four different types of passes, each with its own set of magical perks and benefits. As I write this to you today, these keys to the kingdom are still available. I'm a couple of hours from the parks myself, but my Magic Key is my ticket to making magical memories as often as possible. The discounts on dining and merchandise are fantastic, and the only thing better than a churro toffee square from Candy Palace is one at a discounted price!

    And now, Kristin, for the most magical news of all: You can combine the best of both worlds! It's a dream come true: you can apply the value of your SoCal Resident Ticket towards the purchase of a Magic Key pass! So, if you arrived thinking about the SoCal ticket but now find yourself daydreaming about endless visits with a Magic Key, you truly can have it all—it's like your own personal happily ever after!

    If you decide to unlock this extra enchantment, you can upgrade directly in the Disneyland mobile app. Just tap the menu button at the bottom right of the screen, then tap "My Tickets & Passes". If your tickets are already linked in the app, you should see the option to upgrade. Or, you can always chat with a friendly Cast Member at a ticket booth just outside the park's main entrance to upgrade your ticket. Whichever path you choose, just remember to make the switch before the clock strikes midnight on the last day of your SoCal Resident Ticket.

    Whether you choose the SoCal Resident Ticket or a Magic Key pass—or both!—we're here to help you make your Disneyland dreams come true! If you have any more questions, just send a wish our way—we're always ready to sprinkle some more pixie dust on your planning!
