Welcome to Ask The Duchess – Vol. 42, 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. Where can I find MaxPass distribution? (submitted by Sharon)
On your smartphone! This feature is an optional upgrade on the official Disneyland app.
2. What time can I visit an attraction if I don’t have a fast pass? (submitted by Andrew)
Any time the park is open and the attraction is not broken down! Fast passes act like dinner reservations; you get a spot at a certain time. But stand-by visitors without a reservation can still go on the attraction…they just have to wait in line.
3. What’s a dessert I should try at a sit-down restaurant in Disneyland park? Preferably not in New Orleans Square, since I’ve eaten at the Bayou and Orleans restaurant several times. (submitted by Chris)
The monkey bread with ice cream at River Belle Terrace is RIDICULOUSLY good. That alone is worth making a reservation.
4. Want to get a Disneyland snack that’s not common in the Magic Kingdom. Should I pick churros or beignets? (submitted by Arturo)
Churros…but both if you can manage it 🙂
5. Where is that walkway you post pictures of sometimes in Grizzly Peak? The one with the waterfall? (submitted by Eleanor)
It runs behind Grizzly River Run! You can find the walkway’s northern side to the left of the Grizzly River Run exit, or to the right of the lift, just before the path leading to Paradise Gardens Park.
