Magic key upgrade question

[disneylover102]

I’m planning to buy a 5 day park hopper with lightning lane for December 15-19. I’m curious about the possibility of upgrading it to an Enchant key at the end of my trip (I know it’s possible they won’t be selling those). I have a couple questions about it:
1. 12/17-12/19 are blocked out for Enchant keys. Will I be still be able to upgrade to an Enchant key after visiting using my normal ticket (before upgrading) on those days that are blocked out?
2. Will the full price I paid for the ticket, which includes lightning lane, go towards the magic key or will they deduct how much I paid for lightning lane from the amount that goes towards the magic key?

You should be able to upgrade to the Enchant key even if it is blocked the day you upgrade. I suspect that they will deduct the value of the LLMP that you purchased from the pass and apply that to the MK.

I think this is the case: you should wait until you are done at the parks for the day on 12/19 before you upgrade, since once you upgrade, you will not be able to re-enter the parks since the ticket you now have (MK) is blocked for that date. But I am not 100% sure about this.

Also make sure that you are all at the ticket window at the end of the day when you are doing the upgrade. We tried this with just me upgrading all of our family’s tickets on our last day, and they required each person to physically be at the ticket window to process each upgrade.

Agree about not updating during blocked days. Do you need to go to the ticket booth? Can't you upgrade on the app?

We purchased 5-day park hoppers with Lightning Lane this past February and paid $776 for each ticket. On our last day, while sitting in Frontierland savoring the last hours of our trip, we received a push notification from Disney asking if we wanted to upgrade to the Enchant MK. The entire $776 was applied to the purchase price. We will get two more trips out of our passes, November 2025 and January 2026, so well worth the $198 upgrade price.

Wow! I really hope they’re still selling the Enchant keys when I’m there…
