How to Celebrate Easter in Style at Walt Disney World
While Easter is not celebrated at Walt Disney World in the same way as Christmas or Halloween, there is still a lot of Easter fanfare to discover. Unique Easter character greetings, Easter festivities and what to wear during the Easter season at Disney World.
Walt Disney World is More than Just Easter Egg Displays
From elaborate Easter Egg displays in the lobbies of Disney hotels -- including the Grand Floridian, Beach Club and Contemporary Resorts -- to the Easter Cottage at the Grand Floridian and more, the Easter atmosphere at Disney World is on full display.
But it's not only about Easter treats and decorated Easter eggs, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny are special characters who make a special appearance around Easter. So this is one rare photo opp worth seeking out.
If you are visiting during Easter weekend, then you may catch the Easter parade in Magic Kingdom Park. If an Easter egg hunt is what you seek, then the Egg-stravaganza Scavenger Hunt may be of interest to you. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort has also been known to host an Easter Egg hunt for guests.
Dressing for Easter at Disney World
To get into the Easter spirit at Walt Disney World, it's always fun and festive to dress for the occasion.
Our resident stylist Amelia shares her thoughts on how to style a wardrobe for Easter at Walt Disney World, from pastels to Dapper Dans, the discussion takes an interesting turn. Listen to fun and festive episode for all details and recommendations.

St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World: Food, Fashion and Where to Go
St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World is a fun celebration. From food to festivities and fashion, Disney does a great job of celebrating the Irish spirit every March. We share our top picks for food, plus the best places to be and what to wear to join in the fun.
What to Wear, Where to Go and What to Eat for St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World
The Best Things to Do For St. Patrick's Day at Disney World
While St. Patrick's Day officially falls on Sunday, March 17 in 2024, the festivities at Disney World are already under way and many of the Disney treats and drinks extend to the end of March. So even if you won't be there on the exact day, there are still opportunities to enjoy the spirit of the celebration.
Top Picks for St. Patrick's Day Food at Walt Disney World
You can find specialty food items for St. Patrick's Day across much of Walt Disney World. Disney Springs the Disney resort hotels are your best bet for St. Patrick's Day specialty food items.
For 2024, our top foodie pick from what's new for Disney's St. Patrick's Day food is found at Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. Head to this quick service dining spot and get your hands on the Irish Cream Cheesecake. Not only is this a photo-worthy dessert (featuring the Grand Floridian's trademark logo on top), but it's also a delicious Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake with Chantilly cream and gold "coins," which are edible of course. This is a true pot of gold and our top pick for St. Patrick's Day 2024.
You'll find more St. Patrick's Day treats at Beaches and Cream (Shamrock Shake anyone?), Roaring Fork and more Disney hotel establishments.
Disney Springs is the best all-in-one spot for St. Patrick's Day specialty treats. Start at Amorette's Patisserie, the Ganachery and Ghirardelli for sweet treats and don't forget the City Works Eatery and Pour House for a St. Patrick's Day cocktail and D-Luxe Burger for another shake.
This is only scratching the surface, so come hungry and enjoy a little spirit of the Irish!
Where to Go to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World
As you can tell from the food offerings, Disney Springs is party central for St. Patrick's Day festivities. From food, to fun to decorations and festivities, if you really want to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, then head to Disney Springs.
Raglan Road is extremely popular on St. Patrick's Day. If you're hoping to walk up and grab a seat inside, you'll likely be disappointed. However, they do have patio space available usually and while it's very busy it is possible to find a place if you come early (as in the afternoon) or if you don't mind waiting.
But it's not the only game in town.
The Best Park at Walt Disney World for St. Patrick's Day Celebrations
If you want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a Disney World park, Disney's Hollywood Studios is the place to be. In past years the fun has begun outside of the gates, with upbeat humor and a live host ringing in St. Patrick's Day.
EPCOT is another good park option for St. Patrick's Day, particularly in World Showcase around the U.K. pavilion area.
What to Wear to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World
If you really want to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day at Walt Disney World by dressing for the occasion, you won't be alone. Wearing any sort of green is a good bet if you don't want to go all out. But if you do like to dress for the occasion, you won't be alone.
At Disney Springs you'll see lots of St. Paddy's day accessories, from hats, to shamrock necklaces and more. So this is a great place to go if you want to dress up for St. Patrick's Day and feel like you're part of a big Disney Irish party.
The same goes for Disney's Hollywood Studios. You'll see plenty of St. Paddy's Day revelers there as well.
Plus, with the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival also happening at the same time, Amelia has some great fashion outfit tips for -
What to Wear and What to Pack for Walt Disney World in March 2024
March is a very busy month at Walt Disney World. From Spring Break travelers to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival and Easter displays popping up at many Disney Resort hotels, it's a fairly crowded and busy time of year. It's also a time of year when the weather can have some dramatic swings. We share our top tips for what to pack and what to wear on your Walt Disney World vacation in March.
What to Pack for a March Disney Vacation
What should you pack and what should you wear for a Walt Disney World vacation in March?
March is a shoulder month, where winter meets spring. At Walt Disney World that means anything from daytime highs in the 60s to the 80s. We have experienced it all over the years, but generally March tends to be a pretty good month for weather. This is Central Florida though, so even day-before forecasts can change on a dime.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World, March 2024
We recommend that you always check the 7-day weather forecast on the day before you leave for your Walt Disney World vacation. Use a local weather station for this and not a generic weather app or service.
For 2024, the March forecast for Orlando looks not too bad. Daytime temperatures should be in the mid-70s to low-80s, with nighttime lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. All in all that is pretty pleasant weather for a Disney vacation.
However, it's looking like March 2024 may have a few more chances for rain than is usual for this time of year. So we will account for that in our packing and what to wear recommendations
Know Yourself and Your Family Members
What you wear in March depends on your tolerance. If you can brave the cool mornings in shorts and a t-shirt (when it's upper 50s or lower 60s outside), then you will be good to go for the day, because by 11:00 a.m. it is typically quite warm. This way you won't need to layer up and carry any extra clothing for your park visits. So an hour or two of cool and then you'll be good to go.
If you don't like cool mornings, then a light layer will help to take the edge off for the first couple of hours. After that, it can get quite warm, so you'll have to carry your jacket for the rest of the day. So know your preference (and those of your family members) and you can pack and dress accordingly for Walt Disney World in March.
March 2024 is looking like it will be rainier than usual; so you may want to carry a micro travel umbrella, rain jacket or poncho. Similar to the cold, if you would rather not carry extra gear then you can put up with the rain and you will likely dry off fairly quickly if you get wet. The spring rain is usually not as bad as the summer rain and it's a relatively new occurrence thanks to climate change. Quick drying shorts, shirts, jackets and so on are a great choice at any time of year, including potentially rainy springs like what we expect in March 2024.

What to Wear to 1900 Park Fare, Plus Disney Villains Wedding Gowns
After a long closure, the popular Disney character dining restaurant 1900 Park Fare is finally reopening at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. What to wear when dining there, plus our take on the new Disney Weddings Villains Gowns. Would you wear a black wedding gown?
The "Grand" Reopening of 1900 Park Fare is on April 10 at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
1900 Park Fare is re-opening at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort on April 10, 2024, but it's nothing like it was before as some major changes have taken place.
The restaurant will be open for breakfast and dinner (no lunch service), with buffet dining at both seatings. One big point of differentiation is that it will be the same character experience at both breakfast and dinner, whereas breakfast and dinner offered different characters in the past.
Who are the Characters You Can See at 1900 Park Fare?
Aladdin in his Prince Ali look, Cinderella, Mirabel and Tiana in her new look for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. If you're wondering how this peculiar selection of characters ties together, Disney has positioned it as "they celebrate the power of a wish."
New Decor at 1900 Park Fare
1900 Park Fare was in need of a reno, so the refreshed dining room is a good thing. If you are a longtime patron of 1900 Park Fare you'll be glad to know that Big Bertha (the antique organ that is a Grand Floridian original since 1988) is front and centre in the restaurant.
There is a new mural for the entrance and different decor in the different rooms, including drawings of carousel animals inspired by Alice in Wonderland and The Little Mermaid.
In the Main Dining Room there are twelve new portraits created in the impressionist art style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The murals feature different Disney characters as they hope, dream and wish upon a star (or even a magic lamp or a wishing well).
What to Wear to Breakfast or Dinner at the all-new 1900 Park Fare
Whether you go all out or just like to wear something with a subtle tie-in, it's fun to theme your wardrobe to a themed restaurant--especially if you have little ones.
In this episode of the Disney Travel Style Podcast, Amelia shares her advice on to take a Disney Bounding style approach to the all-news 1900 Park Fare character dining at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

Give Your Disney Wedding a Villainous Touch
In our last episode we discussed the new line of Disney Wedding gowns for 2024 and now Disney has released wedding gowns from the darker side.
Disney Villains Wedding Gowns
The Disney Villains inspired collection from Allure Bridals feature stunning black wedding gowns inspired by Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar and the Evil Queen. All four styles are available starting at $2,000. And yes, you can get them in ivory as well if black is just too much. But we say if you're going to go there...then go all the way!
The Ursula gown features a mermaid silhouette with tonal sparkle beadwork on the bodice. Drawing on the flair for the dramatic that is Ursula’s trademark, this gown has detachable sheer sleeves including ruffled detailing at the cuffs.
If Maleficent is more your style, you can go with a fitted sheath gown in black and green. This gown is truly eye catching, featuring shimmering green velvet and very delicate lace appliques, layered over black organza. The ivory version has chiffon lace accents for a softer touch, but, again, if you're going to go then go all the way.
The Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comes with linear lace, floral embellishments, beads, and sequins delicately scattered over tulle. The dress features sweetheart neckline leading into a peaked bodice, complemented by truly eye-catching embroidery (which is a trademark of all of these gowns). This gown is rounded out with a wrapped ruffle shawl for an added layer of wicked elegance. The Evil Queen wedding gown is available in black, ivory, or gold.
Finally, in a unique twist, there is a wedding gown inspired by a male villai
