There were Easter baskets as prizes for whoever found the golden eggs.

Characters were on a little stage ready to pose for pictures and sign autographs.

The Cast Members handed out bags to the children that wanted to participate in the

candy scramble. All the kids walked away with full bags after the event.

EPCOT offers several fun

Easter Egg Hunts & tea parties and an Easter Brunch.

The Egg Hunts and the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party are on a

walk up basis. The Easter Brunch in the World Showcase is a reservation

only event. We spent the afternoon in Epcot and the girls

enjoyed some of the activities

happening over there.

The Tea Party in Epcot was a walk up event, however you had to stop by

prior to the party and pick up an invitation with a scheduled return time

on it. This same routine was used for the Easter Egg Hunts held at

various locations in EPCOT. When we returned for party time, Tweedle

Dee and Tweedle Dum came out to welcome the kids and bring everybody

into the party room. Alice and her friends visited with the kids while

they had juice and cookies. Parents could stand up to the side and take

photos. It was short and sweet and a fun way to meet the characters.
