No special parades.
The resorts do have egg hunts for the kids.

I jsut called today to ask about Easter egg hunts etc. and was told that info. and times for these events have not been released.
There is a candy hunt at the Boardwalk and I believe, an Easter egg hunt at Beach Club. Other than that, Im not sure.

well, we've done the easter candy hunt deal at FW with our DS and it is a madhouse. they group kids together by age and then let them pick the candy out of the grass. Its over quick so dont be late. If your children dont like large masses of stampeding kids i would avoid it.

No special parades or anything like that at the parks, everyday is a special at WDW

What they have done in the past:

1. The resorts have Easter Egg hunts Easter morning. As noted above, those can be very crowded. Usually there is an Easter Bunny (BoardWalk also adds some craft events).

2. There are some additional Easter decorations but this is not treated like Christmas. Most are hardly noticeable.

3. There is an "Easter parade" which is really just the daily parade at 3 with some Easter themed floats added; generally runs entire week before Easter and on Easter.

There ain't much else as Disney mainly treats Easter time like any other spring break week. Also, unless you like elbow to elbow crowds where you can hardly move, you should not even think about going to MK on Easter Sunday. Pratically everyone goes there on Sunday giving the other parks one of thier lightest days of the holiday season. Moreover, most go to MK that day under the false impression that something happens there on Sunday that does not occur on other days. In fact, absolutely nothing goes on at MK on Easter Sunday that you cannot see another day during that holiday season.

anyone else do one of these? Are they at just these resorts or all of them? We'll be at POFQ.

Thanks!

Last year there was no hint of Easter at MK with the exception of the Easter Bunny set up in the corner on Main Street Easter day. No extras in the 3pm parade for the week either. The parade kicked off with a bunch of women in froo-froo dreses with bonnets on Easter Sunday only. The egg hunt at WL was well organized and not a mob scene at all, the face painting and crafts around the pool area were nice. Both Mickey and Minnie were there dressed in their Easter best! there was a sign and a few bonnets decorating the Trolley on Main Street as well as some egg decorations at the Contemporary.
I must admit we were VERY disappointed overall withthe lack of
anything Easter around. The kids especially after having viewed the Easter Parade a few times on TV, felt like they really didn't "get Easter".
Information abouthte egg hunt was available in the lobby begining on Good Friday.
