Upon entering Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort, you’ll find something that may distract you from the sights of the lobby, as stunning as it is. From now through April 22, you can enjoy the Third Annual Easter Egg Display!
2014 Grand Floridian Easter Eggs
And it’s certainly something to see, because these aren’t just any Easter Eggs… these are 9-12 pound chocolate Easter Eggs created and crafted by Disney Chefs!
For those who may not be able to catch this display in person, we thought we’d bring it to you 🙂 .
History of the Display — click to enlarge
As the sign states, the Grand Floridian Easter Egg tradition has held for 18 years; however, the eggs could previously be seen only in the Resort’s restaurants. But now, for the third year in a row, they are on display in the lobby for everyone to enjoy. It’s definitely a treat to see what the Bakery Team comes up with!
Decorative Easter Egg
As you look at these creations, it’s fun to note that every egg is decorated with “edible products such as modeling chocolate, fondant, sugar floral, royal icing, colored cocoa butter and sculpted sugar art pieces.”
Yep — it’s all edible!

Chefs are given a blank “canvas,” along with the freedom to bring to life whatever vision they wish. So, you’ll see that the decorated eggs range from classic Easter themes…

The Lady and the Tramp egg might be my favorite … notice that the egg sits in the film’s iconic bowl of spaghetti!

Some of the details are not only intricate, they’re also humorous. This street of Bunny Homes lists Brer, Peter, Oswald, Thumper, and Foo Foo among its residents :).

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
They look fantastic! The detail is amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Thou I do wonder what the front of the Brave Egg looks like.
Wow! These are incredible. Makes me want to make a spring trip to see them in person sometime!
Happy Spring, everyone! Glad you can enjoy the display this way :).
Trisha, I know what you mean… I was pretty bummed I didn’t have good luck getting a shot of the front of the “Brave” egg, and I’m sorry about that (it has Merida and her bow and arrow). As it turned out, the shelf next to the back of the egg obstructed my photos from one side, and the egg next to it obstructed my shots from the other. It was kind of funny — I tried to lean over the rope as far as I could without looking I was trying to take a bite out of the eggs… not to say I wasn’t tempted ;).
You did a beautiful job capturing this awesome display! DFB is on my radar every morning to see the best of the best and all things Disney! Excited to be able to see this creation in 9 days 🙂 thanks!!!
Simply amazing! It is so great that they have chosen to share such wonderful talent with all who pass through the GF lobby. Happy Easter indeed!
Very Pretty, Wonder what they do with them when Easter is over. I bet by them they wouldn’t taste too good but I bet they could make some nice $ by auctioning them off. Or make some little ones extremely happy.
They are beautiful! Thank you.
Sometimes it still amazes me how people can be so talented at making food into art. I got to say, though, out of all the eggs pictured, the only one that actually made me say “wow” was the steampunk egg! That thing looks so darn cool!
I love these Easter Eggs. I wish so much Disney would decorate for Easter again it was so beautiful. I liked it even more than Christmas.
I know that the Lady and the Tramp egg is my favorite. I love everything Lady and the Tramp. Also, I like the Little Mermaid egg also.
THESE EGGS ARE JUST GORGEOUS
They are all beautiful. It took so much talent and a lot of labor to make these. So glad you shared them with us since we can’t be there in person!
Fantastic!!! I love them all!!! the Disney ones have beautiful colors and detail!! But Also as an artist I just have to critique one….and that’s the 2nd Little Mermaid one. Ariel is my favorite, but her anatomy on this piece, OUCH!!!lol
Really enjoyed looking at these! It’s amazing what talented people can do with chocolate: I can just eat it!
So i guessed i can’t order a lady and the trap egg than…. Would love too!
I would love the butterfly garden egg. They are all so beautiful and breath taking. I truly love them all. I am partial to butterflies but I love everything Disney.
OMG, what an utterly gorgeous display. I just love everything about Disney. The Grand Floridian is such a wonderful to showcase wonderful displays. By far this Easter, Disney went all out. Yay for Disney.
All the eggs are gorgeous, but my favorite is “Frozen”. What a treat that would be!!!
I know what I will be doing now this week on hubby’s day off
These eggs are exquisite and phenomenal; art made out of sugar. I can’t really pick a favorite but my 3 favorite are: Arial egg, Frozen egg, and ornate white laced and floral egg. Thank you for the incredible pictures but I bet they look so much better in person. I wish I lived closer to WDW to check out the various festivities more often. Again, thanks for the pictures.
The eggs are gorgeous. I love what they do at Disney. Their work is incredible. My favorite egg is the Frozen egg. It is exquisite. The details are beautiful.
Is it possible to visit the resort as a visitor without staying there?
Hi, Sasha! Yes, guests not staying at the resort can visit, and if you’re at Disney on vacation, you can bus over to the Grand Floridian from any park or Downtown Disney. If you plan to drive, at busier times of the year such as this (spring break), sometimes the resorts have to limit parking to only Resort guests, so I’ve often taken the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to visit the Grand Floridian. Hope that helps!
