Hey there, Cassie. Welcome to planDisney. Congratulations on unlocking a year of magic and becoming a Magic Key holder! We're so glad you're here and I'm pleased to help with your question.
Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear this Cassie. You are correct that when upgrading a theme park ticket to a
Magic Key pass, you unfortunately lose any existing reservations that were made with your theme park ticket. However, don't lose all hope. I've been in this situation a few times in the past and have been fortunate enough to snag a last-minute reservation.
I recommend frequently checking the
Magic Key Calendar throughout the day to see if the availability changes. Guests' plans often change and you will see reservations open up. You might also want to double-check availability towards the end of the night as this is a time when other Guests may be canceling. Quick tip: if you see availability open up for either park, I would
book the reservation because you can always hop over to the other park starting at 11:00 AM. You can also make day-of reservations so be sure to check the calendar tomorrow too.
Cassie, I'm sorry this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, however, I hope I was able to provide some helpful information. Keep holding on to hope and I'll be sending all the pixie dust your way.
Michelle
