Review - Florida - Orlando - Easter Decorations at Yacht Club
Something fun to do at Walt Disney World during holidays is to check out the decorations at the Disney resorts. At Christmastime you will see lots of holiday decor, chocolate-covered art works, and decorated holiday trees. For Easter, four resorts display bakery-created Easter Eggs made from chocolate and other ingredients. This year, I was able to check out the Grand Floridian, Beach Club Resort and the Yacht Club. The eggs will remain on display until April 11th, 2024.
Someone asked me about parking at the resort. Most resorts won't allow non-guests or non-dining-reservation holders to park at their location. For Beach Club, you can either take the skyliner over (the station is right around the corner), you can walk over from Epcot (which is what I did), you can take a Disney bus, you can walk over from the other nearby resorts or even the mini golf location, or you can catch a ride from a rideshare program.
