Easter Egg Displays
One Disney detail that most don’t know about is the Easter Egg displays around the Walt Disney World resort hotels. Similar to Walt Disney World’s famous Christmas tree and gingerbread displays, Disney’s culinary artists go all out for springtime with these edible displays. While these eggs are works of art in their own right, it’s worth mentioning that they’re completely edible! That’s right — the eggs, the props, the paint. ALL. EDIBLE. Heading to Walt Disney World before April 9, 2023? Here’s all of the places you can spot Easter Egg Displays this year!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Walt Disney World’s flagship resort has an impressive display of Easter Eggs inspired by Disney attractions, characters, movies, shows, and more. One of the most exciting ones from this year is the life-sized Kevin from UP! LBV TV Vlogs was there for the unveiling of this year’s Easter Egg display — you can watch the parade of eggs here.
In addition to the Easter Egg display, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is home to the Grand Cottage. Here, you can grab more than 15 different hand-crafted treats from the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa bakery. Similar to the Gingerbread House at Christmas time, the Grand Cottage is located in the Grand Floridian lobby.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
It’s worth the monorail ride to Disney’s Contemporary Resort to see what eggcellent pieces the resort’s culinary team has created this Easter! With TRON Lightcycle / Run’s opening soon, the TRON-themed egg is a major stand out this year. Other fan favorites include one inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas and even a Mickey Popcorn Bucket.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Since this resort isn’t far from EPCOT’s International Gateway, it’s no surprise that this year’s Easter egg display is inspired by EPCOT attractions and experiences. Disney’s Beach Club Resort has eggs that bring Pixar’s Finding Nemo and the beauty of EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival to life!
Easter in the Disney Parks
There’s Easter activities in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT that are worth looking into. Even if you’re not visiting Walt Disney World on Easter Sunday, you can experience both of these limited-time offerings most of March and into April.
Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt can be purchased for $9.99 at various gift shops in EPCOT. The objective is locating twelve Easter eggs hidden around the park! As you locate them, put the corresponding egg sticker in the right location on the map. Once you’ve completed the map, grab your prize from participating EPCOT gift shops!
Meeting the Easter Bunny
As Easter gets closer, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny will start meeting guests in the Magic Kingdom. Now that character meet and greets have returned, we’re back to hugging characters! Although I don’t have an exact date for their return, they’ll be found on Main Street U.S.A. between the Chamber of Commerce and City Hall.
With just a few weeks left until Easter, there’s no better time to start planning that springtime Disney vacation! From Easter egg displays to limited-time treats, you won’t want to miss your chance to experience Easter activities at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
