Welcome to Ask The Duchess – Vol. 62, 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. If I purchase a park hopper ticket, can I go back to the first park again after visiting the second park? (submitted by Andrea)
Yes! With the current reservation system, you can’t park hop until 1 pm. But after that, you are free to bounce back and forth as much as you want, unless of course for some reason a park hits capacity.
2. Where can I get the colored popcorn in Star Wars Land? (submitted by Carlos)
You’ll find it at Kat Saka’s Kettle, in the marketplace.
3. Would people look at me funny if I wore gloves on attractions? Seems like a good way to avoid touching a lot of dirty surfaces and I’m still a bit nervous about germs. (submitted by Reah)
I say who cares if people notice you’re wearing gloves – if it makes you more comfortable, go for it!
4. Is there somewhere in the park I can buy a character autograph so I don’t have to wait in line? (submitted by Nicole)
There is some merchandise with character signatures on it (for example, a Goofy mug), but otherwise no, you can’t purchase autographs anywhere.
5. Is the Haunted Mansion’s elevator real? (submitted by Amber)
Yes! The Haunted Mansion‘s stretching room is a real elevator, lowering you so you can walk under the berm and to the show building. Some extra trivia for you: the stretching room in Florida is NOT an elevator – instead, the ceiling stretches upward to create the illusion.
