The Egg-stravaganza eggs are oversized for a reason, and that reason is so that the youngest hunters will be able to see them.\u00a0 But don\u2019t let that stop you from getting in on the action. I have witnessed many adults with telltale maps in hand, pounding the pavement in search of eggs, and quite a few were without kids. Some of the adults were even flying completely solo (I was one of them!). If you like scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, hunting for wayward keys and socks or hunting for anything in general, Disneyland Resort is the perfect playground for such an outing, and any age group should be able to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 It is a good idea to plan ahead and come up with a strategy.<\/strong>\u00a0 Setting a course of action is useful on any day at Disneyland Resort, and an Egg-stravaganza day is no different. Taking a few moments to think things through before getting started can cut down on wasted time and unnecessary footsteps. For example, do you want to take on all three legs of the egg hunt in one day, or would you prefer to tackle only one hunt in a day &#8212; and which one will it be? Do you plan to keep going until you have found every egg, or do you plan to stop in between egg discoveries and ride, shop, eat or rest?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-PARTIALLY-FILLED-IN-MAP-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-PARTIALLY-FILLED-IN-MAP-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-PARTIALLY-FILLED-IN-MAP-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Apply stickers to the corresponding places on the maps as you\u00a0 find the eggs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While there is no time limit to the Egg-stravaganza and you can go at your own pace \u2013 you don\u2019t even have to find any of the eggs to claim your prize, as long as you have bought a map &#8212; one hunt can take at least a couple of hours if there are breaks in between egg locations. Some hunters may work with a self-imposed time limit if they like a challenge, and race to find all 36 eggs (12 in each park and in Downtown Disney) scattered around Disneyland Resort within two or three hours. There is usually at least one egg hidden in each land of each park, so take a look at the hiding spots noted on the maps and determine if you want to attack them in an organized fashion, i.e., clockwise, counterclockwise, etc. Devise a system that works for you to avoid scurrying to and fro without purpose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GUEST-INFORMATION-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GUEST-INFORMATION-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GUEST-INFORMATION-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are enjoying a day trip and won\u2019t have the luxury of being able to retreat to a hotel room to store your prize eggs and maps, it is not a bad idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyland.disney.go.com\/guest-services\/locker-rentals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get a locker<\/a>. I recommend renting a locker outside\u00a0the parks as opposed to getting one inside either one of the parks, for quicker and easier access.\u00a0 I rented one for $7.00, conveniently situated not too far from the front gates of Disneyland. Anytime I collected a prize I would return to the locker to stash it, along with the corresponding map, so I would not have to tote it around for the rest of the day and risk mangling it in my heavy bag.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that dressing wisely for a day in the sun-drenched parks is essential. It is just as important when it comes to embarking on your Egg-stravaganza journey. You could find yourself walking to areas that you might ordinarily skip during a regular visit to Disneyland, and you will want to be comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEY-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEY-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEY-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Don&#8217;t put all your prize\u00a0eggs in one basket!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The completed 2016 Disneyland map, and the prize egg I chose<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-COMPLETED-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-MAP-AND-PRIZE-EGG.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The completed 2016 California Adventure map, with my prize <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0 Obtain your maps and secure your prizes early on.<\/strong>\u00a0 Though this has not always been the case, during some years\u2019 Egg-stravaganzas, the maps for each park could sell out well before Easter. Likewise, the prize selection has been known to dwindle down and some park guests have reported not being able to get the prizes they wanted as the egg hunt carried on. I don\u2019t know if similar scenarios will happen this year, but if you are concerned that you might miss out on a map or a prize it is worth noting that you can get both of them in one fell swoop before you are ready to actually start hunting.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re going to be staying at Disneyland Resort for a week, but won\u2019t get around to hunting eggs until a few days in. You don\u2019t want to risk not being able to get a map or a prize if the supplies suddenly run low, so you can simply buy a map and collect your prize on your first day. Because the actual hunt is not required to get the prize, show your just-purchased map to a Cast Member at a redemption location to collect your surprise egg.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DISNEYLAND-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Disneyland&#8217;s redemption location sign, outside of the Disney Showcase store on Main Street<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/CALIFORNIA-ADVENTURE-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-REDEMPTION-LOCATION-SIGN.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>California Adventure&#8217;s redemption location sign, outside of Elias &amp; Company on Buena Vista Street<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-PRIZE-EGG-BASKETS.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Choose only one egg (per map) as your prize!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Disneyland Park, you will find maps and prizes at the <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyland.disney.go.com\/shops\/disneyland\/disney-showcase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disney Showcase<\/a> shop on Main Street.

and all around!<\/strong>\u00a0 The Egg-stravaganza is designed to be easy enough for small children to find the character eggs, and \u2013 for the most part \u2013 it is. All of the eggs are very large and often perched in very obvious places. It will not be hard to find the majority of them, though there are some that are a bit more elusive than others. Remember to look up at balconies, awnings, on top of ride facades, on shelves, and even towers; and glance down in flower beds, bushes and in windows. The eggs tend to be hidden outside, but there are a few that are indoors. The clues on your maps will sometimes alert you to the eggs that can be found inside shops.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/KING-TRITON-EGG-2014-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/KING-TRITON-EGG-2014-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/KING-TRITON-EGG-2014.jpg 413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Yep.\u00a0 There&#8217;s an egg up there!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-CHIP-EGG-2016-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-CHIP-EGG-2016-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-CHIP-EGG-2016.jpg 413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0 Be prepared for spoilers.<\/strong>\u00a0 Even though you may go to great lengths to avoid websites, blogs and discussion forums where spoilers of the eggs\u2019 hiding spots will be plentiful, there are other ways in which you can be spoiled, and some of them are impossible to bypass. One such occasion might be if you happen to see groups of people gathered around certain spots that don\u2019t seem to be remarkable for any other reason. They are probably staring at an egg. You might see someone with a camera fixed on something that doesn\u2019t look all that interesting from afar, only to discover that the subject is an egg. You might have trouble finding an egg and, as you scan the landscape in search of your target, a fellow hunter will run up behind you and excitedly shout to his or her companions, \u201cThere\u2019s the Pluto egg!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is really no way to escape the in-park spoilers because there will be plenty of other people participating in the Egg-stravaganza. Their actions \u2013 or yours \u2013 will be dead giveaways. All you can do is know what to expect, keep a positive attitude and hope that you can find most of the eggs on your own, without unwanted \u201chelp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-MICKEY-OLAF-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-MICKEY-OLAF-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-MICKEY-OLAF-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0 Be courteous and polite to fellow hunters.<\/strong>\u00a0 Some eggs will be nestled in window displays, in tight corners or in otherwise confined spaces. If you see that someone else is standing in front of what is likely to be your next stop on the egg hunting path, and you cannot seamlessly walk up and look at the egg without inching into the other hunter\u2019s space, simply wait your turn. It will not impact your experience to hang back, be patient and wait for the person to leave. Don\u2019t hover around, climb under\/over or invade anyone else\u2019s personal space if you can avoid it. The egg you want to see is not going anywhere. It is not going to jump up and roll away after the other person is finished gazing upon it. It will still be there in 2 minutes, and in 5 minutes, and even the next day!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-DALE-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-DALE-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GRIZZLY-PEAK-DALE-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>In 2016, this innocent-looking Dale egg nearly drove hunters to the brink of madness due to its perplexing location<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.\u00a0 Beware of the misleading clues.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 It seems that with every year\u2019s Egg-stravaganza comes a clue that leads hunters astray. The clue will indicate a certain location, but when you reach that location you will not see an egg. If the clue says that the egg can be found near a bridge, it might actually be peeking out from between two hedges a good distance away.

There is no need to walk on eggshells. They are there to help and give information. They see plenty of baffled, lost, frustrated guests on a regular basis \u2013 even when there is no egg hunting going on \u2013 and they will be able to point you in the right direction. Most of the time they will not volunteer an egg\u2019s location unless they are directly asked for it, but they might find it hard to conceal a smirk, a giggle or two as a parade of befuddled hunters mosey past them in search of a troublesome egg.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to appreciate the challenge of the eggs that are a bit harder to find. It is a hunt, after all, and I am doing the Egg-stravaganza for the thrill of the hunt more than I am to get a small character prize egg at the end of it.

Some eggs will be hidden in places with handy nearby illumination, of course, but when crowds swell and concentrate in precise locations for nighttime shows, parades or fireworks, you might have a more difficult time accessing and viewing your targets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ESPN-ZONE-EGG-2016-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ESPN-ZONE-EGG-2016-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ESPN-ZONE-EGG-2016.jpg 413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/WETZELS-PRETZELS-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/WETZELS-PRETZELS-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/WETZELS-PRETZELS-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/D-STREET-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/D-STREET-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/D-STREET-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/AMC-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/AMC-EGG-2016-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/AMC-EGG-2016.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-COMPLETED-MAP-AND-PRIZE-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-COMPLETED-MAP-AND-PRIZE-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DOWNTOWN-DISNEY-2016-EGG-STRAVAGANZA-COMPLETED-MAP-AND-PRIZE.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>10.\u00a0 If you aren\u2019t going to Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, the Downtown Disney leg of the Egg-stravaganza is a viable alternative, open to everyone.<\/strong>\u00a0 I think that one of the smartest things Disney has done in regards to the Egg-stravaganza is to include Downtown Disney in the fun. Not only does it provide 12 additional places for enthusiastic participants to scout out eggs, it also gives visitors a way to enjoy a festive springtime activity \u2013 albeit, one that is only available for a limited time \u2013 without entering the parks. This would be a good idea for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2017\/03\/arrival-day-at-disneyland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrival day<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2017\/03\/departure-day-disneyland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">departure day<\/a> of a Disneyland trip, as it keeps the Disney magic going but does not take up a tremendous amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Egg-stravaganza is an entertaining, inexpensive way to revel in another glorious season at Disneyland Resort, exploring out-of-the-way corners and discovering little details and hidden gems along the way. It is great for all ages, and there is no rush to get it done.<\/p>\n<p>If you have experienced the Egg-stravaganza, what are your tips and suggestions? What do you like or dislike about the event?
