Though The Grand Cottage may not return, intricate Chocolate Easter eggs are now on display throughout Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. These eggs are designed by various Grand Floridian culinary Cast Members. They can be seen throughout the second floor of the main building, and in the entryways of the Big Pine Key and The Villas buildings.
Lobby (Second Level)
There are two eggs in the display windows at the front of M. Mouse Mercantile, a gift shop near the Monorail station on the lobby’s second floor. In the left window (when outside the gift shop) is an egg inspired by The Little Mermaid, created by Cast Member Juan.
Ariel is a 3D sculpted fondant figure sitting on rocks with coral and seaweed. Sebastian is beside her, and Flounder is in her lap.
The egg behind her features seahorses and fish. King Triton’s palace is in the background.
On the back is Ursula’s face. Flotsam, Jetsam, and some poor, unfortunate souls are on the base.
Ursula’s tentacles wrap around the sides of the egg.
In the window on the right is a Mulan-inspired egg by cast member Jade. It has a rocky base with red icing trim and a gold Mickey medallion.
The front of the egg features Mulan in full armor atop her horse, Khan.
The bag of the egg appears to have exploded open.
Figures of a started Mushu and Cri-kee are inside.
A Bambi egg is in a display case outside Basin. Created by Cast Member John, it has a base resembling a tree trunk with one branch curving up around the egg.
Painted on the egg is Bambi with a butterfly on his tail. His mother is in the forest background, along with a variety of animals.
Friend Owl and Flower are on the back of the egg with more forest friends.
Big Pine Key (Building 9)
After entering building 9, guests will see this Hercules-inspired egg on a table in the middle of the atrium. The egg is open on the front with baby Hercules inside.
Behind him are the columns of Olympus. Baby Pegasus flies among clouds around the edge of the opening.
The clouds continue onto the back of the egg and the base. This was created by Cast Member Victoria.
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian
The Villas building is located near Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, so this chocolate creation is inspired by Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. The egg on top features an image of Cinderella and Prince Charming in their wedding clothes. Small wedding cakes around the base are inspired by Disney Princesses and wedding themes.
The tiny cakes feature Rapunzel’s lanterns, lilypads based on Tiana, Prince Eric and Ariel in their boat, Cinderella’s glass slipper, cherry blossoms, and a golden tiara.
On the bag of the egg is a depiction of the stained glass window through which Cinderella Castle is visible in the wedding pavilion. A Monorail is pictured going by, and some ducks are in the water.
This was created by Cast Member Meg.
