    My new Magic Key pass is in my preferred first name, which looks nothing like my actual legal first name. Would this be a problem when I scan in for the first time?

    Hi, Yuxuan! Welcome to planDisney. I’m so excited that you recently purchased a Magic Key! As a Disneyland local, I don’t know what I’d do without mine. Disneyland Resort feels like a second home to me, and I love going as often as possible. Nothing is better than going to my favorite place with my favorite people!

    This is a question that I wasn’t entirely sure about, since my first name is what I prefer to go by, and it’s been a while since I’ve activated a Magic Key. I spoke with a friendly cast member, and they informed me that the first name on the contract needs to match your government-issued ID. They said you’ll need to visit the ticket booth at the park to resolve the issue with a cast member. It must be done in person. They did make it seem like something that can be fixed, though, so no worries.

    Once you get this cleared up, it’s go time! I’m not sure when your first visit is, but there is a lot to be excited about in the coming months. Soarin’ Across America is taking flight on July 2nd. The update to this beloved attraction is in honor of the United States' 250th anniversary! As a teacher, I mourn the end of summer, but the good news is that Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort starts August 21. Get ready for the decorations, characters in their spooky costumes, and treats, treats, treats! Disney Parks Blog publishes a Foodie Guide closer to the beginning of Halloween Time so that you can keep track of all the festive offerings!

    Yuxuan, I hope the issue with your Magic Key is resolved quickly so you can start enjoying the benefits as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, come back to planDisney with all your planning needs. See you real soon.

    I hope you have a magical day!
