Easter weekend at Disney? Anything on?

Glad someone has asked this question as was wondering the same thing. I just heard it was MEGA busy...

Was planning to go to Celebration Easter Sunday for some brunch though, will it be as quiet and tranquil as usual or should I avoid ?!

Nowhere in the tourist area is quiet at Easter.

There was a beautiful decorated Easter Egg exhibition in Grand Floridian resort last Easter. Plus the flower and garden festival in Epcot which had beautiful topiaries, butterfly tent and some live music

Sorry to be pedantic but you did say "traditional UK Easter eggs" and not chocolate eggs. But I see what you mean.

And I guess chocolate eggs would melt in the Florida heat.

If we're being pedantic, are traditional U.K. Easter eggs not chocolate?

My point was don't take your kids and think you can buy them a couple of Easter eggs on property. You can't. It was intended to be helpful. My kids at 5 and 8 were let down by me not knowing this fact!

Thanks guys. We fly home on Easter sunday and I was looking at doing Epcot/MK on the saturday. I know it'll be busy but I figured a hunt would be some silly fun...even if only my youngest niece and I do it

I dunno. I consider traditional UK Easter eggs to be *any* decorated eggs seen at Easter time - whether they are hard-boiled, plastic, wooden or chocolate. But maybe that's just me?

Chocolate eggs are certainly the most common form of Easter eggs in the UK in recent years (and, by recent, I mean ~50 years). But I tend to associate the word "traditional" with more older practices - things that have been done over hundreds of years not the last few dozen years.

As this site states (it was the link at the top when I googled "traditional UK Easter eggs"), decorating Easter Eggs is a common tradition in the UK as are egg-rolling competitions at Easter. Both of these usually use hard-boiled eggs.

Anyway, as I mentioned, I see what you mean now. And you are right, chocolate eggs are not common in the US.

What a massive gap in the market for someone to fill! I cannot believe they wouldn't take off there given all the really naughty food that greets you on every corner.

Agreed. Considering the US celebrates (if that's the right word?) Easter and is a consumerist country, you'd think every chocolate manufacture would be plying American stores with chocolate eggs during March and April.

Just as long as the chocolate eggs don't have toys inside. Because they get banned due to weird safety concerns.
