Originally published at Disney Parks News

Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and there’s a whole new crop of delightful merchandise I’ve just got to get my hands on! Yes, springtime is finally here. And with Easter just around the corner, there’s no time to waste in deciding what items we should pick to fill our baskets. So sit tight. I’ve pulled together some of my favorite spring and Easter offerings from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, 20th Century, and more.

Celebrate both spring and Disney’s 100^th anniversary with the Disney100 Classics Collection by Vera Bradley.

Available now on shopDisney and at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. The colorful collection includes a weekender bag, hipster crossbody bag, RFID crossbody bag, mini pouch bag, and other bag styles covered in a lovely allover floral print featuring many of Disney’s beloved characters, including Alice, Bambi, and Winnie the Pooh. You can also place your treasures in the Disney100 Cosmetic Case and RFID Wristlet, both of which feature Disney’s first Princess, Snow White, with her woodland friends.

Still haven’t had your fill of accessories? Then these bags will have you hopping for joy, as they make the perfect addition to your spring ensemble.

The Disney Rabbits Dooney & Bourke Satchel Bag, Crossbody Bag, and Backpack are decorated in a delightful design featuring fluffy character favorites like White Rabbit, March Hare, Winnie the Pooh’s friend Rabbit, and Aurora’s bunny friends. Find the collection now on shopDisney as well as at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

Top off your look with a pair of ears –or two!

The Minnie Mouse Reigning Rabbits Ear Headband features an allover print starring Disney rabbit characters like Judy Hopps from Disney’s “Zootopia” and Thumper from “Bambi,” and between the iconic mouse ears sit a pair of bendable bunny ears. As you’re hopping around having a great time, just don’t forget to stop and smell the strawberries… No really. Stop and smell the strawberries, because this plush Loungefly handbag doesn’t just look like Lotso from Pixar’s “Toy Story 3,” it’s actually strawberry-scented, just like him! You’ll be looking extra sweet when you pair it with this vintage-style Lotso Dress, both of which can be found along with the Minnie Mouse Reigning Rabbits Ear Headband on shopDisney and at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

In the words of Ducky, “There’s so much … fluff!” And I’m here for it!

The Ducky and Bunny Fuzzy Fun Ear Headband is the perfect accessory for repping my favorite sassy plush duo from Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,” who are also looking cuter than ever on this limited-release Ducky and Bunny Easter Pin. And the cuteness continues with the Disney 2023 Easter Bunny Plush, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Stitch dressed in their Easter best as cuddly, colorful bunnies. Find all of these fun items now on shopDisney, as well as the ear headband and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse plush at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

Disneyland Resort guests, get ready for a hippity, hoppity good time, because the annual Eggstravaganza “egg” search is back!

Recruit your peeps for the fan-favorite event taking place now through April 9 and search high and low for hidden “eggs” themed to Disney characters throughout Disneyland park, Disney California Adventure park, or Downtown Disney District. Join the fun by purchasing a game board and stickers for $9.99 in select merchandise locations found on the official Eggstravaganza event page. Game boards differ between Disneyland park, Disney California Adventure park, and the Downtown Disney District, so make sure you search in your game board’s designated location! As you spot the hidden “eggs,” place the corresponding stickers on your game board. When you’re done, return your game board to a redemption location and receive an egg-citing keepsake: one of six collectible eggs! And don’t worry if you don’t spot every hidden egg—you can still redeem your prize even if you don’t complete the entire quest.

If just one collectible egg isn’t enough for you, make sure to also pick up the Limited Release Lion King Egg Set, featuring the egg-celent trio, Simba, Timon, and Pumba. The set is available at all game board redemption locations, while limited supplies last.

Spring is the perfect time for your budding botanist to really show off their green thumb, especially with the National Geographic Herb Garden Growing Kit which invites kids to express their creativity while learning about the science of plants.
