food IS a theme park
Easter has arrived at Disney World, and there are so many new sweet treats to celebrate!
Painted Egg Whoopie Pie
We stopped by Disney’s Yacht Club resort to try their new Easter egg whoopie pie. It’s Easter in a dessert!
It’s springtime in Disney World and there are so many ways to enjoy the season!
Minnie is ready for the spring!
EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival is going on, where you can eat all kinds of fun food and see the character topiaries, there are special treats still available from St. Patrick’s Day, and we’ve also found some new merchandise that is perfect for the spring. But today, a new seasonal spot opened up in Disney World that has special springtime sweet treats, so let’s go check it out!
HI from the Magic Kingdom! Our visit this week found some construction updates, almost-too-cute-to-eat Easter treats, and lots of new merchandise we just have to add to our Disney collection.
Hello from the Magic Kingdom
In fact, before we even got into the Magic Kingdom we found some updates, so let’s start with…
The Grand Floridian Chocolate Easter Eggs are now on display at the resort through April 28th! This annual holiday display was joined by something egg-stra special this year — Springtime Snacks! There’s one snack in particular that really caught our eye…the Grand Egg!
The Grand Egg
Now, this thing is HUGE, but that’s not the only reason we love it…
HAPPY SPRING, everybody!
Spring Mickey Bunny
Another winter is behind us and the warmth and blooms of spring are here at last. So we hope you’ll take a little Spring Break with us…

… to check out What’s New Around Walt Disney World, starting with these fun new hot drink cups! While we weren’t sure about the understated design on the new cups and plates in Disney Parks, I do like these particular quotes being front and center.
The 2015 Chocolate Easter Egg Display at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort isn’t the only sure sign of spring around here these days! Easter treats have been “hopping” up everywhere around Disney World Resort to celebrate this weekend’s holiday — not to mention the remainder of the Spring Break season through the end of next week.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a holiday at Disney World without all sorts of specialty cupcakes, and Easter is no egg-ception. (I. Can’t. Stop. Doing. That!). At Epcot, a Chocolate Cupcake with marshmallow filling and marshmallow buttercream frosting can be found at Fountain View from now through April 11th, and at Sunshine Seasons for a very limited run on April 4th and 5th.

This beauty of a Carrot Cake Cupcake topped with a mini Bunny Macaron will be at the Contemporary Resort only through April 5th! The inside has a pineapple-coconut filling and it’s all topped with white chocolate buttercream frosting along with toasted coconut and — hooray! — jelly beans!

While there, be sure to check out the Contemporary Resort’s display of Chocolate Bunnies and decorated Easter Eggs presented by the Resort’s pastry chefs on the fourth floor!
BoardWalk Bakery boasts its own Easter Cupcake: vanilla cake filled with raspberry panna cotta, topped off with a coconut nest filled with jelly beans.

Marceline’s in Downtown Disney
is hopping with Easter treats!
The adorable Easter Bunny Caramel Apples have made a comeback, along with some fun new yummies that include Mickey Easter Egg Cake Pops and Mickey Easter Grass & “Egg” themed treats.
Marceline’s Easter Treats
Adorable as can be, these Easter Eggs are as tasty as they are cute.
The moist cake is dipped in white chocolate, then decorated with sanding sugar, and topped with chocolate Mickey ears. They come in chocolate, vanilla & red velvet.
Mickey Easter Egg Cake Pops
We went with chocolate, because it was the only flavor they had left in these ones.
Chocolatey Center
And just a little FYI, I learned that [Read more…]
Shazam!!! After spending a lovely (literally — the weather was gorgeous) weekend in Disneyland, I’m pleased to report that I finally got to try one of the best seasonal Disney treats ever created! The Disneyland handmade Easter egg!!!!!
Easter Egg Box
These quietly slipped back into the Candy Palace this year, and I was so SO excited to get my hands on one. Heather got to review them year before last, lucky duck!
Check out the vintage, I-got-this-at-my-local-hometown-candy-store box!
Easter Egg Box Side
Of course, I snagged the best flavor ever: Peanut Butter Fudge. They also have Vanilla Nut and Chocolate Nut, which you can see reviewed here.
Easter Egg Ingredients
Of course, you might also choose yours based on the sugar confection decoration on top. Mine was a little duck in a bonnet (nope, not Donald, but the same colors!).
