Easter at Walt Disney World

There is usually a "meet and greet" with the Easter Bunny at Magic Kingdom during the week prior to Easter at Tour Guide Gardens, adjacent to City Hall.

Disney does not offer an Easter parade or decorations in the parks. However, in 2011 Disney offered a special "pre-parade" featuring Easter Bunny and Mrs. Bunny. The "pre-parade" was offered ONLY on Easter Sunday, 15 minutes prior to the park’s 3:00 pm Celebrate a Dream Come True parade.

Some of the Disney hotels offer egg hunts, etc to their guests. If you are staying at a Disney hotel, inquire at the front desk when you arrive.

There are special meals available at certain restaurants on Easter Sunday (which in 2012 will be on April . An Easter Brunch is usually held each year at the Epcot World ShowPlace located between Canada and the United Kingdom pavilions. Regular Epcot admission is required. You can reserve holiday meals up to 180 days in advance by calling (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463).

Note that "holiday pricing" (i.e. higher prices) will be in effect for some restaurants (particularly the buffets and character meals) for the two weeks on either side of Easter. Other restaurants may charge a premium on Easter Sunday, so be sure to ask when booking reservations.

Religious services are held on Easter Sunday only in the Fantasia Ballroom at the Contemporary Resort. Catholic Mass is held at 8:00 am and 10:15 am. A Protestant service is held at 9:00 am. You may not park at the Contemporary for these services, so to get there, you must do one of the following:

• take the monorail to the Contemporary
  
• take a boat to the Contemporary
  
• take resort transportation (monorail, boat or bus) to the Magic Kingdom and transfer to a shuttle bus serving the Contemporary resort

Does the Fort do an egg hunt? We are leaving that day, but it would be cool to do before.
