Welcome to Ask The Duchess – Vol. 61, 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. Go to snacks that aren’t popcorn/churros? (submitted by Chad)
Sweet: Beignets in New Orleans Square, a deep dish cookie from Pixar Pier, or a good cake pop from Pooh Corner or Marceline’s. Savory: Ronto wraps in Galaxy’s Edge, garlic fries from Uva Bar, or a garlic cheddar twist from Cozy Cone.
2. Do Disneyland and California Adventure have any exits that are not the main gates? (submitted by Diane)
Not during regular park operation – though I suspect in an emergency they would open up other exits guests can’t normally access.
3. My son is obsessed with Jabba the Hutt. Any chance he ever shows up in Star Wars land? (submitted by Nora)
Unfortunately no, but there is a Jabba the Hutt hidden gem he may be happy to find!
4. When does Christmastime start at the park? (submitted by Anna)
Decorations are already changing over, but the resort’s official season runs November 12 – January 9 this year.
5. Is the castle’s tallest tower “real”, as in someone could go up there and stand on the balcony? (submitted by Mia)
The castle does have a real balcony on the back, but the tallest tower’s balcony is far too small for a person to stand on. Forced perspective just makes it look “real”.
