It’s Easter weekend at Walt Disney World, which means it’s quite crowded. But the upside to all the extra visitors is that additional food and entertainment options have been added for the weeks before and after the holiday. Here’s what to look for around the resort.
In the Magic Kingdom:
** Guests can meet Mr. and Mrs. Bunny in the ‘garden’ adjacent to City Hall in Town Square from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Sunday, April 5.
** An Easter pre-parade will be presented twice today and Sunday – at 11:45 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. – before the Festival of Fantasy Parade. In past years, the pre-parade has featured the Azalea Trail Maids, Daisy Duck, Thumper and Miss Bunny, Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh, and Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, of course.
** At least two eateries that do not have regular hours will be open through April 11. Aunt Polly’s on Tom Sawyer Island is open for the first time in forever. It has a limited menu, but the novelty of having a snack on the island may be fun for veteran guests. Expect to find fresh fruit; chips; hummus with veggie chips; PB&J with apple slices, carrots and a drink; turkey sandwich with apple slices; and lemonade, strawberry lemonade, tea and water.
** The second spot is the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon, a quick-service restaurant for lunch and dinner. You can see the seasonal menu on our AllEars.Net resource page.
At Epcot:
** Mr. and Mrs. Bunny also take photos and sign autographs on Easter Sunday behind the United Kingdom pavilion near the maze garden.
** In the same UK area, children ages 3 to 9 can sign up for an Easter Egg hunt and kids ages 8 to 12 can participate in an Easter Egg Relay. When my children were younger, we did this for several years, and it was a lot of fun. You can read about our experiences here.
** Guests of all ages can take part in the Disney Egg-stravaganza, which is a hunt for eggs themed to Disney characters, through Sunday. To participate, each guest must purchase a map for $4.95 at Heritage Manor Gifts (American Adventure Pavilion), Pin Central, Plaza Towers (Port of Entry) and World Traveler (International Gateway). Record your finding and then turn in the map to Port of Entry for a surprise.
At the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa:
** Check out the exquisite display of edible Easter eggs in the lobby. Or take our virtual tour of the creations.
** Reserve your spot for a brunch at 1900 Park Fare today and Sunday at 1 p.m. This is not a character meal, but a spread fit for a princess.
