Celebrating Easter at Walt Disney World

The “happiest place on Earth” is an ideal place to celebrate the Easter holiday. Walt Disney World offers religious services on Easter Sunday, an opportunity to meet Mr. and Mrs. Bunny at Magic Kingdom, plus special meals at many of the resort’s restaurants.

Walt Disney World will hold religious services on Sunday, april 12 at the Contemporary Resort in the Fantasia Ballroom. Catholic Masses will be held 8:00 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., and a Protestant service will take place at 9:00 a.m. Since the parking lots at the Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian will have parking restrictions, WDW recommends that resort guests use the monorail and the WDW shuttle buses to get to the services.

Easter brunch with Disney characters at the Grand Floridian’s 1900 Park Fare is a popular dining experience; call ahead to 407-WDW-DINE to see if there are any available openings during this very busy weekend. If the 1900 Park Fare is booked, ask the reservations operator for other WDW resort restaurants that are offering special Easter menus. WDW resort restaurants do not require a theme park admission, but they do require a reservation.

For guests spending the day at Magic Kingdom, keep an eye out for Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, who will appear intermittently throughout the park between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The “Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade” takes place at Magic Kingdom at 3:00 p.m .on Easter Sunday, and Mr. and Mrs. Bunny will be a part of the pre-parade activities.
