Does Big Thunder Ranch BBQ have anything for Easter right now?

[Luckymommatoo]

Just made lunch reservations on a whim for Sunday. We've never been -- will there be an Easter/Spring theme right now?
Thanks!

This Disney Parks Blog doesn't mention any special Easter food items at the BBQ - http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...pecialty-food-offerings-at-disneyland-resort/ - but the whole adjacent area (the Ranch) is currently in its Springtime Roundup mode:

The Roundup is great, as it features Ray Brown (one of the awesome pumpkin carvers who is at the Halloween Carnival during Halloween Time) and other talented artists creating wonderful Disney character egg art. There are also famous Disney rabbits (and the Easter Bunny) available for photos, Mickey and Minnie in their Spring attire, Easter-themed crafts and games, Easter cookie decorating, etc. Plus, there are lots of Spring-ish flowers and décor around the area.

And, of course, from today through April 5th, the Egg-stravaganza egg hunt is taking place in both DCA and in DL!

Oh, thanks, now I'm even more excited! Yes, we are going specifically to do the egg hunt on Sunday.

Does anyone know if there are Photopass photographers at the Roundup? Hoping for good pictures with the bunny! And how crowded does this area get?

Yes, there is at least one PhotoPass photographer in the area (probably more) because all of the famous Disney rabbits are there to greet guests, along with Mickey and Minnie, Pluto in bunny ears, etc.

I can't speak for this year as of yet (I haven't done my 2015 Spring/Easter DLR visit yet), but last year on the day I was there -- which was a Monday during spring break -- it was not crowded at all. In fact, there was lots of space to move around. I am going to attribute the lack of people to the fact that many folks probably didn't know the Springtime Roundup was happening, as it is kind of tucked away in an area that people may not go out of their way to visit if they aren't eating at the BBQ.

This year, now that word of the Springtime Roundup and the Egg-stravaganza has spread a bit more, I think that there will be more people at the Roundup.

In this episode of the DIS Unplugged: Disneyland podcast (which also featured guest appearances by many of the Florida podcast team members), the Springtime Roundup is discussed, and JeniLynn Knopp (of "The Trip" podcast) details her humorous experience trying to put bunny ears on a Disney rabbit (or it may have been the Easter Bunny) -- which did not go over well with the PhotoPass person/character handler - http://www.disunplugged.com/2015/03/23/dis-unplugged-podcast-032215-disneyland-show/

Just as I did my "Eggs-plaining the Egg-stravaganza" thread for this forum, I am hoping to do a "Rounding up the (Springtime) Roundup" thread as well, with photos and brief bits of info.

Looking forward to it, Sherry! You always do such an amazing job with the Super threads! DD & I planned a trip to DL next Easter so looking forward to photos and any information.
