    I have an unused SoCal tickets for a family of four. We used 2x already. The remaining one we can’t use until May. What can we do with the unused one? Could we use the values and reserve it for future one (outside of the May time frame)?

    Hiya, Wai, and welcome to planDisney!

    It’s wonderful that you and your family have been enjoying the special 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket offer for California Residents. The flexibility it provides in choosing your park days has made it one of the best offers this year! The time window to use these tickets is winding down, and it’s great that you’re exploring your options. I’ll be happy to guide you through this!

    California Resident tickets expire on May 21, 2026, and all visits must be completed on or before that date. Unfortunately, unused visits from this offer cannot be applied toward a future visit outside of the promotional time window. Since your tickets are still valid, you may have the option to upgrade your tickets to a Magic Key using the Disneyland mobile app. Here’s how:
    1. Tap the (≡) icon.
    2. Tap “My Tickets & Passes.”
    3. Tap the ticket(s) you’d like to upgrade.
    4. Tap “Upgrade to a Magic Key Pass.”
    5. Follow the prompts.
    Since you have multi-day tickets, you can upgrade by midnight on or before the last valid day of your tickets. Please keep in mind that this option is only available for eligible ticket types and if new passes are available for purchase. If you’re able to upgrade, the date of your Magic Key will be backdated to start on the first day the ticket was used.

    Bonus Tip: Before you make your decision, be sure to evaluate the Magic Key passes that fit your family’s needs. The Magic Key Calendar allows you to view the blockout dates for each pass type easily!

    Wai, I hope this was helpful and that you’re able to get this resolved! If you have any other planning questions, please come back and visit us here at planDisney.
