Grand Cottage and More Returns to Walt Disney World for Easter

One of the best times to visit the Walt Disney World Resort is around a holiday, and Easter is no different. Select Disney resort hotels are going to be transformed this year with spectacular Easter egg displays and some will have delicious treats for sale.

These stunning displays are hand-painted and designed by talented Disney pastry chefs who spend months bringing their creations to life. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and Disney’s Beach Club Resort are all joining in on the Easter fun in 2024; take a look at the details below.

There are tons of treats on the way this year and we’ve even got a first look at some of the snacks coming to The Grand Cottage at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa when it opens on March 3rd. Disney says a full Foodie Guide with more Easter goodies is coming soon, so be sure to stay tuned.

One of our favorite activities to enjoy in the spring is seeing the gorgeous Easter egg display that the pastry team at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been hard at work creating. This tradition can’t be missed and is a staple of the resort’s Easter season showcasing the cast members’ artistry and talent. Each of the larger-than-life chocolate eggs has a unique theme and story that the culinary cast member brings to life with their creative touch. Pictured above are some of the eggs from past years while knowing that there are plenty of new ones coming this year too. The 2024 eggs are inspired by cherished characters, stories, and treats, like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Disney Animation’s Beauty and the Beast, and Disney snacks. The display is definitely worth a revisit, even if you’ve seen them before.

The pastry chefs have also been working on treats for The Grand Cottage which is coming back for the third year from March 3rd through April 1st. Take a peek at the list of treats that have been announced so far.

• Bunny Pop Flower Pot: Chocolate flower pot filled with jelly beans and three chocolate bunny pops (New)
• Fruity Cereal Mickey Pop: Mickey-shaped fruity cereal crisped treat
• The Easter Treat Box: Dark chocolate filled bunny, carrot blondie pop, marshmallow pop, carrot cake chocolate bark, confetti pop, and meringue nests
• Easter Marshmallow Pop: Three large marshmallows dipped in a yellow chocolate coating topped with Easter quins
• Bunny Burrow Dirt Cup: Layers of chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, and cookies ‘n cream pieces with springtime décor (Plant-based)
• The Grand Egg: White chocolate egg filled with jelly beans sprayed in spring colors

A Bunny Burrow Dirt Cup and Fruity Cereal Pop will both be available over at Gasparilla Island Grill from March 3rd through April 1st as well.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort will once again be home to its fair share of mind-blowing egg displays. The team here has brought their creativity to the egg to create works of art that will leave you amazed (and craving some chocolate). Once you set your eyes on this year’s lineup, you won’t believe that these hand-painted displays are real. Here’s a glimpse of some of last year’s talented creations to give you an idea of what to expect when this year’s eggs are on full display starting March 3. Much like at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the displays here also will be filled with brand-new eggs inspired by characters from stories, like Elemental and Hercules.

Last, but certainly not least, we’re heading to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort where these waterside resorts are once again bringing in some truly egg-cellent displays to life this year. The pastry teams at the resort are joining in on the fun and have been working on creating their own detailed eggs for you to dazzle in this spring.

This year, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will take a journey on the water side with a brand-new Moana-inspired display. See some of the beloved characters and scenes from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film brought to life in egg form. You can catch this new creation starting March 3 in the lobby of the resort. Last year, the team crafted a Finding Nemo-inspired display that made quite the splash, as you can see!

Right next door at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is a display inspired by none other than the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which can be found just around the corner from the resort. The team has meticulously crafted miniature versions of some of the iconic topiaries available at the festival, bringing a floral touch to the lobby of Disney’s Beach Club Resort. You can get a peek at what’s coming here as this creation premiered last year and is coming back again starting March 3, so be sure to drop by the resort to see them for yourself.

There will be plenty to see this spring at Walt Disney World Resort! The displays will all make their premiere on March 3, 2024.
