    If I not used any dates of my the South California 3 day pass can I put towards an annual pass? Does it matter if I purchased it from a third party?

    Hiya, Theresa, and welcome back to planDisney!

    The Disneyland Resort offers amazing deals for California Residents. It’s great that you took advantage of the 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket offer. The deadline to use this ticket is quickly approaching, so it’s great that you’re looking to extend the magic! Let’s get started.

    I have great news! You can upgrade your theme park ticket to a Magic Key pass! If the ticket is eligible and valid, it may be able to be upgraded, regardless of where it was purchased. Typically, this can be done through the Disneyland mobile app if the ticket has been partially used. Since you have not used the ticket yet, you must visit a Disneyland ticket booth in person to complete the upgrade. 

    Bonus Tip: Check out the Magic Key Calendar to determine which pass fits your needs. Blockout dates vary by pass type. As a California Resident, you may have the option to pay monthly towards your pass after a down payment! Please keep in mind that this is subject to change.

    Theresa, I hope this information is helpful and that you’re able to upgrade to a Magic Key very soon. My friends and I here at planDisney are always happy to answer any additional questions you have as you plan your visits throughout the year!

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
