    If I upgrade my SoCal ticket to a Magic Key Pass, am I still required to put a downpayment or will it take the cost of my SoCal ticket as my downpayment?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Denisha! There is a lot of excitement surrounding the sale of Magic Key Passes, and I’m thrilled to help you get ready to join the ranks of Magic Key annual passholders.

    As you mentioned, a down payment is required when purchasing a new Magic Key. The great news is that the value of your active Southern California Resident ticket can be applied toward the upgrade and cover the down payment! Just a little heads-up: the ticket value must equal the required down payment amount. If it falls a bit short, you’ll need to pay the difference to unlock the magic of your new pass.

    Once you’ve claimed your Magic Key, Denisha, prepare to unlock a treasure trove of perks! For instance, this month, Magic Key holders are enjoying a 50% discount on the price of the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass. My wife and I recently zipped through the parks like true Disney pros, thanks to this offer. It was practically pixie dust! We also snagged the exclusive Magic Key holder popcorn bucket, complete with discounted refills. Trust me, there’s no better way to snack during a nighttime stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. And with even more perks on the horizon, it’s a fantastic time to hold the key to the kingdom.

    Speaking of magic, the Disney Parks Blog just unveiled the 2025 Disneyland Resort Event Calendar, and it’s brimming with possibilities. January and February will see Disney California Adventure celebrating Lunar New Year. Then, as spring blooms in March, April, and May, Disneyland will immerse Guests in the intergalactic excitement of the Season of the Force. But the grandest celebration of all? The 70th Anniversary of Disneyland, with festivities kicking off on May 16th. I can already hear the fanfare on Main Street and see Sleeping Beauty Castle shimmering with anniversary sparkle. Keep an eye out as there’s even more magic to come!

    I hope this helps, Denisha! If you have any more questions about your Magic Key or planning a memorable visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, don’t hesitate to reach out to us again at planDisney.

    Wishing you a truly magical time at the parks!
