2019 Grand Floridian Chocolate Egg Display!

Happy Spring, Disney Fans!      Hope you're finding some rays of sunshine and the first peeks of buds and flowers out your windows. Spring is in full bloom here in Orlando, (just ask my allergies!), and my kids and I hit up one of our favorite springtime displays, The Grand Floridian Chocolate Egg Display !

In fact, this year there are even eggs on display in other resorts too, like The Contemporary and The Yacht and Beach Club. Now, I haven't gotten the chance to check out any of the other displays yet, but I do have pictures to share of the eggs from The Grand, so let's check 'em out! ~~~~ Lilo and Stitch Front Lilo and Stitch Back Three Caballeros Front Three Caballeros Back Humpty Dumpty Front Humpty Dumpty Back Up Front Up Back Mary
