Here’s a first look at a brand new offering for Easter this year! The Grand Cottage at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers springtime treats.
When entering Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa from the Monorail, a bunny-shaped sign advertises The Grand Cottage.
It will be open daily through April 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The “cottage” is a stand in the lobby, where the annual gingerbread house sits during the winter season.
The stand is white with pastel paneling.
Easter eggs and bunnies decorate the cottage.
We didn’t pick up every treat available, although we did get plenty in The Grand Combo Box — read that review here. We also picked up The Grand Egg, a Mickey Whoopie Pie, the Spring Garden Chocolate Dirt Cup, and a Hot Cross Bun.
Now, here is everything we tried at The Grand Cottage. Some of these treats are available in The Grand Combo Box, and most are also sold separately.
The Grand Egg – $18.99
The edible white chocolate egg is covered in orange sprinkles.
We took it home to crack it open to see what was inside!
Cracking the egg open, we found jelly beans mixed in with the white chocolate pieces.
We found this to be fun, but we wish there were more jellybeans.
The chocolate is white and of good quality. The beans, meanwhile, are Jelly Belly.
It was fun to break, but it needs more beans for sure!
Mickey Whoopie Pie – $7.50
The Cast Member said this was French toast-flavored, but we get mostly carrot and cinnamon.
The cake was moist, and it had the perfect icing-to-cake ratio.
The Cast Member on duty raved about this one, but we found it mediocre.
Spring Garden Chocolate Dirt Cup – $6.00
This treat had layers of chocolate cake with crunchy pearls and cookie crumbs.
It’s comparable to other chocolate dirt cups you may get elsewhere at Walt Disney World.
The cake had a good consistency, and the buttercream was not too rich. We would get this again for sure!
Hot Cross Bun – $3.50
This is like a sweet cinnamon raisin bread in bun form.
The exterior is slightly sticky, and the inside is dense. Served warm, this is excellent!
Carrot Cream Cheese Coffee Cake – $9.00
There are also plenty more treats available at The Grand Cottage including this Carrot Cream Cheese Coffee Cake.
Plant-Based Baby Chick Lemon Cupcake – $5.99
There is also this adorable cupcake that has a baby chick on top. It is also plant-based!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich – $7.50
There is also a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with rainbow sprinkles on the outside.
Gourmet Marshmallow Box – $7.00
You can also pick up this beautiful Gourmet Marshmallow Box.
Five marshmallows are packed inside a white box. The box also a golden Grand Floridian sticker on it.
Each marshmallow is a pastel color with its own flavor: red (watermelon), orange (blood orange), green (apple), blue (blueberry), and purple (raspberry).
Raspberry Minnie Fudge – $5.50
There is also this Raspberry Minnie Fudge.
It is raspberry fudge shaped in a Minnie Mouse head, with a chocolate red bow.
Items in the Grand Box
The Grand Box includes Confetti Cake Flavored Popcorn, Chocolate Bunny, Crispy Cereal Egg, Carrot Blondie Pop, and a Grand Floridian logo cookie exclusive to the box.
Confetti Cake Flavored Popcorn – $10.00
This treat was probably our favorite.
The popcorn was coated in white chocolate with powdered sugar confetti.
It also had mini marshmallows and a few M&Ms.
It’s a good sharing size, and it’s also in the Grand Box.
Chocolate Bunny – $12.00
The chocolate bunny is your classic chocolate bunny.
The bunny is large enough to break and share.
It held up well for photos but quickly broke when it was time.
Crispy Cereal Egg – $5.00
The crispy cereal egg was a crisp rice treat with a white chocolate coating.
This was a cute, themed version of a crisp rice treat, but it wasn’t anything special.
Carrot Blondie Pop – $7.00
Unfortunately, the blondie inside this pop is dry and not any particular flavor.
The icing on the outside is sweet but does not have any flavor we can pick out.
The presentation was cute, and we loved taking photos with it.
However, the execution is lacking, and we will not get it again.
