Walt Disney World Resort isn't waiting for spring to celebrate Easter. The Central Florida theme parks, Disney Resort hotels, and Disney Springs have already rolled out Easter merchandise despite the holiday being three months away. Easter Sunday falls on April 6 this year, but Disney is banking on guests buying seasonal products in early January.
Easter Shirts Hit Shelves in First Week of January
As of January 6, 2026, Walt Disney World Resort is selling Easter-themed apparel featuring classic Disney characters. The light gray t-shirt showcases Daisy Duck, Pluto, Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck seated inside colorful Easter eggs. Behind the characters sit the four Disney World theme park icons—the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror representing Disney's Hollywood Studios, Spaceship Earth for EPCOT, Cinderella Castle for Magic Kingdom Park, and the Tree of Life for Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. A blue vintage-style Walt Disney World logo completes the design.
WDWNT reports adult shirts retail for $32.99, dropping to $29.99 when customers purchase two t-shirts. Youth sizes cost $24.99. The Easter merchandise is available at the Creations Shop in EPCOT, the Riverside Depot at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and World of Disney at Disney Springs. The shirts will likely be available at most major merchandise locations across Walt Disney World Resort hotels and theme parks.
So far, the t-shirt is the only Easter merchandise Walt Disney World Resort has stocked for 2026.
Traditional Easter Programming Returns
Merchandise is just one component of Walt Disney World Resort's Easter celebrations. Several Disney Resort hotels display elaborate hand-crafted chocolate Easter eggs inspired by Disney and Pixar films, theme park properties, and other company franchises. Quick Service and Table Service restaurants throughout the property offer limited-time holiday-themed food and beverages during the Easter season.
EPCOT typically sells Easter Egg hunt treasure maps, challenging guests to locate character-themed statues scattered around World Showcase. Participants who complete the hunt earn a prize. At Magic Kingdom Park, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny greet visitors on Main Street, U.S.A., posing for photographs and signing autographs. The original Central Florida Disney park also presents an exclusive Easter pre-parade before its regular daytime entertainment offering:
