Hello Ashlea! We appreciate you stopping by planDisney with your upgrade question.
You absolutely can
upgrade your Park Hopper ticket to a Magic Key pass. Isn't that such an awesome option! You can do this at any time in the
Disneyland app. You will need to go to your Tickets and Passes screen. Select the ticket and it should give you the option below the ticket to Upgrade to a Magic Key Pass. Click on this and it will walk you through the steps. Pro Tip: On the next screen, be sure to change "Out of State Residents" to "California Residents" if you are a California resident and want the option for monthly payments instead of paying in full. You will need to change it to "Southern California Resident" if you are eligible and this will unlock the option for the Imagine Key pass, as well as the monthly payment option. The Magic Key pass will expire one year from the first date that you used your Park Hopper ticket.
You can upgrade right now or before midnight on the third (last) day of your ticket. As I said before, your Magic Key pass will backdate to the first day you used your ticket so there is no benefit until waiting until your last day unless you have that day reserved and it is currently sold out for reservations. If you take a look at the
Magic Key holder calendar and your upcoming date is still available I would go ahead and upgrade now that way you can enjoy the Magic Key holder perks that day in the park, like 10% off select dining and merchandise. If it is blocked out, be sure to wait until you are done in the parks (but before midnight) because it will void your ticket once you upgrade and you will no longer have a reservation.
Ashlea, I hope this information is helpful. I'm so excited for you to upgrade your ticket and join the Magic Key holder family! I see many more magical days at Disneyland Resort in your future.
