Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Sarah. Hooray and congratulations! I'm so glad to hear that you were able to secure your
Magic Key pass during the most recent sale.
You most certainly can link your Magic Key pass to your Disney account without activating it. In fact, according to the
Disneyland Resort Magic Key Terms and Conditions, a pass is activated via park entry or applicable entry into a pay-on-entry lot. Your Magic Key pass will then be valid for one year from the date of activation.
I love being a Magic Key holder and having all of the benefits like
discounts and exclusive offerings. I think my favorite thing of all is being able to visit the parks (with a valid theme park reservation) whenever I need a little extra dose of magic in my life. There's a lot of magic in store for
2024 at the Disneyland Resort. It looks like your first visit will be just in time and before the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival ends on April 22nd. The eats and treats at the Disneyland Resort are a highlight for me so it's no surprise that this is one of my favorite events. If you're feeling adventurous during your visit, I recommend getting a Sip and Savor pass to sample as many eats as you can. You can even share the pass with a friend which makes it even more fun.
Well, Sarah, I hope this information is helpful as you are planning your first visit as a Magic Key holder. Please come back to visit us with any other questions you might be curious about. Until then, here's wishing you the most magical year at the Happiest Place on Earth!
