Disneyland Enables In-App Magic Key Upgrades as Premium Passes Return

Passholders weigh new digital convenience against a reservation system that can wrongly issue No-Show strikes.

Overview

Magic Key holders can now upgrade passes through the Disneyland app or online, replacing an in-person ticket booth process.
Inspire and Believe tiers are back on sale in limited quantities, with availability described as while supplies last.
Social media posts report erroneous No-Show strikes, including a case from @DisneyScoopGuy who shared timestamped ride photos as proof of attendance.
Accumulating No-Show strikes can lead to revocation of a Magic Key, prompting advice to log app check-ins, keep receipts, and capture timestamped photos.
The change reflects Disneyland’s shift toward mobile transactions after some ticket booths were removed, with no official resolution noted for reported strike errors.
