Many families use their spring breaks to head down to Walt Disney World. If this sounds like you, go into your trip knowing that Easter is one of the busiest times of year to visit. However, it's also one of the most eggciting, too! Easter at Disney World has lots of eggcellent offerings that will delight tadpoles and adult frogs alike! Think themed treats, an egg scavenger hunt, beautiful Easter egg art displays and photos with Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny! Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have the most Easter offerings, along with the resorts. (Thumper was always my go-to Disney bunny, though Judy Hopps might be my newest favorite!) Come with us as we explore all the fun, springtime offerings available for Easter at Disney World!

All the Ways to Celebrate Easter at Disney World
This year, Easter falls on April 5, 2026. Like Easter celebrations of the past, holiday offerings are only available for a short time. Typically, this starts a month before Easter and lasts about a week after. For those of you who will be hop-hop-hopping like a bunny (or us frogs!) at the parks, there is plenty of Easter fun to be had! We've put together this list of our favorite ways to celebrate Easter at Disney World. Let's hop to it!
1. Visit the Gigantic Egg Displays at Select Hotels
Various Walt Disney World Resort hotels have egg-stra special displays up for Easter, including Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Beach Club and Disney's Yacht Club. You won't want to miss the iconic egg displays at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, featuring dozens of hand-crafted large eggs inspired by our favorite characters!
Note that a valid dining reservation is required to park at the resorts, so if you don't have one, you'll want to be prepared to park elsewhere and use Disney transportation. That said, we have noticed that transportation from Disney Springs has been temporarily restricted to only those who can verify their hotel reservation.
2. Watch the Special Easter Parade at Magic Kingdom
Each Easter weekend, Disney World puts on a special Easter cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. Enjoy seeing rare springtime characters, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny and other fun Disney bunnies such as the White Rabbit. This mini-parade typically occurs right before the Festival of Fantasy parade at 3 p.m.
Here's a video of the 2026 Easter Parade:
3. Meet Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny
Guests can also meet Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny at the Liberty Square gazebo in Magic Kingdom. They are typically available the week before Easter and on Easter day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This photo op is located near Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Disney PhotoPass photographers will be nearby to snap some adorable photos of you and the rest of the froggy fam!
4. Hunt for Eggs at EPCOT
For a limited time at EPCOT, guests can hunt for special hidden eggs that resemble Disney characters. These eggs are scattered throughout World Showcase. This year's eggs include the following characters:
- Thumper
- Miss Bunny
- White Rabbit
- Bean Bunny
- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
- March Hare
- Skippy
- Rabbit
- Jackalope
- Alec Azam
- Judy Hopps
- Ducky & Bunny
Purchase maps for EPCOT's Eggstravaganza at one of three locations in the park:
- Disney Traders
- World Traveler
- Creations Shop
Once you find an egg, match the corresponding sticker to the right location on the map. When you've completed the scavenger hunt, return it to the merchandise locations above for a prize. In 2026, the prize is a plastic Easter egg featuring Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, Thumper or the White Rabbit.
While at EPCOT, be sure to celebrate the blossoming of spring with EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, hoppening now through June 1, 2026. There's even a musical performance by Sugar Ray on Easter Day (always subject to change) as part of the Garden Rocks Concert Series.
5. Go to Brunch
Several Disney World hotels and Disney Springs restaurants have offered brunch or a special menu to celebrate Easter Sunday in the past.
While this year we haven't seen any special Easter menus, some of our favorite brunch spots include Steakhouse 71, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and Topolino's Terrace.
If considering a nice sit-down meal for the occasion, be sure to book your advanced dining reservations well ahead of time since it is a hoppin' time to visit.
6. Enjoy Themed Treats throughout Disney World
Disney always wows us with its specialty food, and usually, it's no different for Easter at Disney World. Enjoy adorable treats with so many fun bunny, carrot and egg designs.
Helpful Tips for Making the Most Out of Easter at Disney World
