Welcome to Ask The Duchess – Vol. 101, a monthly Q&A post covering a variety of resort-related topics. Ask The Duchess answers questions submitted by readers. If you have a question you’d like answered, send me a message here.
1. When does the 70th celebration end? (submitted by Nina)
We don’t have an official end date yet, but the celebration is slated to run “through the summer of 2026”. So my guess is it will conclude right as the resort changes over to the Halloween celebration.
2. Are you a fan of single rider lines? Or would you prefer the resort focus more on Lightning Lane? (submitted by Margaret)
I am a HUGE fan of single rider lines. I will choose single rider virtually every time if it’s available. It’s not like you can talk to your friends while on a ride – so why not get on much faster and meet up at the end? And the majority of the time, single rider lines move faster than Lightning Lanes.
3. Do the halloween parties have jump scares or things that would upset sensitive kids? (submitted by Clara)
No, there are no jump scares. If your little ones are afraid of villains, watch out for them free roaming or on the trick-or-treat trails. But otherwise, the party is absolutely not designed to scare anybody.
4. Is it possible to Uber from John Wayne to the resort? If so, where does it drop you off? (submitted by Kalia)
Absolutely. John Wayne Airport is by far the most convenient for the resort. You can select to have an Uber drop you off at two different locations, depending on what you’re up to: the east side/Harbor Blvd, which is closest to the park gates, or the west side/Downtown Dr, which is closest to Downtown Disney and the resort hotels.
5. Am I allowed to bring a stroller onto any rides if it’s collapsable? (submitted by Kyle)
Unless you count the train or Monorail, there are no rides that allow a stroller, collapsed or not. You’ll need to park your stroller in the closest stroller parking area while you ride.
