    I am planning on going to Disneyland August 30th, If i decide to use my ticket towards the explore key, am i able to use the ticket and reservation i made for the 30th even though its a blackout day for that specific key?

    Hi there Dylan,

    Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for this great question. I'm happy to hear you're considering a Magic Key Pass - these are such a great way to keep the magic flowing over the course of a year and really provide a lot of great value.

    In general, I recommend looking through the Ticket Upgrades page if you're considering using your ticket to upgrade to an available Magic Key. The exact way to upgrade will depend on the type of ticket you have. If you have a one-day standard ticket then you would just need to upgrade by midnight on the day of your visit to the Disneyland Resort. If you have a multi-day ticket then you would need to upgrade on or before the last valid day of your ticket.

    While there are certain types of tickets that state they are ineligible for an upgrade, standard park tickets are eligible and the process can be done directly through the Disneyland app on your phone. The blockout dates of the pass you're upgrading to do not factor in if you're already in the park the day of your visit and upgrading via your Disneyland app.

    Lastly, I'll note that upgrades to Magic Keys are subject to their availability, which can fluctuate throughout the year. Therefore, it is possible that some keys may not be available in the future - keep an eye on the Magic Key page and the Magic Key Instagram page to see which keys are currently available at any given time.

    Thanks again for your question, Dylan! Good luck on your quest to get your Magic Key, and make sure to stop by and see us here at planDisney if you have any other questions - we'd be happy to help!

    Have a Magical Day,
