Planning a disneyland easter ? This is everything you need to know about visiting the happiest place on earth for the easter season (or easter sunday itself ).

Planning a disneyland easter ? This is everything you need to know about visiting the happiest place on earth for the easter season (or easter sunday itself ).

Easter and the weeks around it are some of the best times to visit the Disneyland park and the disney hotels. The weather tends to be LOVELY in Anaheim during the spring season , and depending on when it falls….. you may just miss the spring break season travelers (you can check the undercover tourist crowd calendars for details each year). Doing a disneyland easter has become a springtime tradition for my family……and we love doing some of the special activities that are available ONLY this time of year.

disneyland easter : what to do, where to eat and what to see

When it comes to disneyland easter plans……I suggest focusing on a few things. I always try to plan a fun brunch option ( there are a ton of great special easter offerings I'll share), we participate in the egg hunt (more details on that below), we see disney characters , and we get a special surprise treat or two.

These activities are great options for Disneyland locals, or for part of a longer trip if you're visiting from out of town.

If you ARE planning a larger Disneyland vacation……I'd suggest checking out Undercover Tourist for discounted tickets and hotel packages.

disney egg-stravaganza

I absolutely love this hunt for the disneyland easter eggs and think it's one of the most fun activities that Disneyland puts on each year. They offer three scavenger hunts (or egg hunts) from mid March to Easter in different parts of the downtown disney district and the parks themselves. You'll pick up a game board (or egg hunt map) for your chosen location (Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and the Downtown Disney District) and the map will have clues as to the locations of the disney easter eggs. Warning, they're often hidden in plain sight!

The eggstravaganza maps cost $9.99 (yes you can use your magic key discount). You'll get a corresponding sticker to attach to each spot once you've located the egg, and once you've found them all? You'll return your completed map to a redemption location for a little prize.

Disneyland Easter characters

If you're doing disneyland easter then you HAVE to see the characters. You can usually see Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse decked out in spring and easter attire, and the week or so leading up to ACTUAL easter? You can see mr. easter bunny himself (usually he's on main street usa in Disneyland). If you'd like another fun option, then do a hunt for all the Disney rabbits. From oswald the lucky rabbit to roger rabbit to the white rabbit , you can meet some fun characters and collect autographs for a special easter souvenir (one year we even had the characters sign Lydia's easter basket with a sharpie).

Disneyland easter treats

If you'd like a special treat to end your disneyland easter celebration (or to bring home for the next day)……trust me, there are some great ones. You can pick up specialty easter treats at select locations throughout the parks and hotels….a few of my favorite spots to check? Candy Palace for the famous chocolate easter eggs they release each year, the grand california stand in their lobby, and or Trolley Treats inside Disney California Adventure. Warning, the chocolate easter eggs sell out FASTTTTT. If you want one, stop by Candy Palace first thing in the morning!

Disneyland easter brunch options

Now let's talk easter brunch. This is important right??? It's one of the best parts of any easter and brunch during a disneyland easter is NO exception! And let's be honest, no one does brunches as well as any great disneyland breakfast.

If you are looking for a traditional Easter brunch, we've loved the Easter Brunch at Catal. They have activities for the kids, an easter bunny photo opp and the food is AMAZING.

Another great easter brunch option? I always suggest reserving one of the character dining offerings……they're all SO much fun. Don't forget, you'll need park reservations if you want to do the Plaza Inn character dining. But for the Princess Breakfast Adventures, Storyteller's Cafe or Goofy's Kitchen…..you don't need a park ticket or reservation. You can absolutely make a whole disneyland easter day of doing the Downtown Disney Egg Hunt and a brunch at one of the hotels if you're local! We've done that a number of times and had a total blast.

I hope that this has helped you to plan a Disneyland easter visit that works for your family……..whether you are a Southern California local or visiting from out of town. Feel free to leave any questions in the comments!

🌴 the FIRST person is that pops up when you cli 🌴 the FIRST person is that pops up when you click SHARE is going to Castaway Cay with you, it’s time for unlimited ice cream, the bluest water, the Pelican Plunge and the best vibes……. 🌴tag them below!! (now let’s get packing)
🍦 Eating Ice Cream In a Swimsuit……Groundbre 🍦 Eating Ice Cream In a Swimsuit……Groundbreaking.But…..for me it is.  Even after I felt comfortable wearing a suit…..I didn’t feel comfortable EATING in a suit.  I felt like, who was I? With curves and rolls on display to have the audacity to eat french fries or an ice cream cone. Here’s to having the audacity this summer.  whatever that looks like for YOU.
🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
