The MouseForLess Tip:
When making your vacation plans, plan on arriving at the Magic Kingdom early. This is especially true for the days the week prior to Easter, as the park is often extremely busy. Guests will want to make sure to make their Disney Theme Park Pass Reservations for all four parks early, but definitely for the Magic Kingdom.
EPCOT
Easter Egg Hunt – Each year, EPCOT holds the Eggstravaganza. Easter Egg Hunt Maps can be purchased at select merchandise locations for $9.99. Once Guests have their maps, they will be able to record hidden eggs, themed after Disney characters, by placing the correct character sticker in the matching location on the special map. Guests will then need to return your map to Disney Traders or World Traveler in EPCOT. Once returned, you will be able to pick up your surprise.
