Disney Easter Basket Ideas
I’ll be honest, Easter tends to sneak up on me. Just a few days before, I’m scrambling (hee-hee!) for Easter basket goodies for the kids. Not this year! I’ve been searching the web, collecting just the right Disney Easter basket ideas for my kids.
I’ve found the best basket stuffers for those going on vacation, candy and non-candy treats, ideas for babies & older kids, and cheap gifts under $15. Here are over 50 ideas for gifts to add to your Disney Easter basket this year – so let’s get hopping!
Making an Easter Basket Budget
Start with a container, then base your purchases on what will fit inside. Aim for between 4-7 items in a variety of sizes. Choose a healthy range of treats, practical and seasonal items, and something fun. I’ve also included book suggestions for all ages under each age group, from babies to teens.
Just like these Disney stocking stuffers, getting creative when shopping for Easter basket gifts is part of the fun in the process. Putting together a fantastic Disney Easter basket doesn’t have to be a pricey endeavor.
I’ve included plenty of inexpensive Easter basket ideas, all with some Disney flair!
A Tisket, A Tasket – Finding the Best Easter Basket
Putting together an inspired Disney Easter basket starts with finding the best container. The vessel can also be a gift, as I’ll share! Here are a few thoughts before you buy.
My kids own fabric Easter baskets like this Mickey & Friends Easter Basket, sold on Etsy by EmmaGirlDesigns. They are lightweight and easy to carry on an egg hunt. These baskets also hold a nice amount of goodies!
- For older kids, think outside of the basket! Stuff a backpack or a cinch sack, like this Disneyland Cinch Sack.
- Use a new baseball hat (like this Book of Boba Fett Baseball Cap). Flip it over to fill with treats that your teens will love.
If you have lots of goodies or need something larger try a reusable tote like this Stitch Shopping Tote.
Disney Easter Egg Hunt
Create an Easter egg hunt with a Disney theme! I’ve included some great ideas for Easter egg hunt stuffers. In order to not lose any of these valuable eggs in the yard, have the “Easter Bunny” keep a checklist of placement for the eggs with big prizes inside.
Grab this free Disney Easter scavenger hunt printable to create your own in-house or hotel room egg hunt! Follow a few of these ideas to make your Disney Easter egg hunt truly magical.
- Pop a Disney gift card into one of the eggs for the hunt. Have more than one child? Be sure to label each egg with a name!
- Collector’s pins like these Inside Out Flair Pins make for wonderful Easter egg stuffers!

- Instead of the traditional egg hunt, try a scavenger hunt instead. Have a special prize at the end, like this Mystery Figure Easter Egg surprise!
Something to Wear
Now, for the goodies to stuff inside the basket! I like to start with something sweet and practical that my sweeties can wear after church on Easter Sunday.
A bathing suit is one of the top Disney Easter basket ideas. Swim wear is ideal for warmer climates or for those planning a Disney vacation with kids.
Pajamas are a great way to end the day. Disney t-shirts like this tie-dye Disneyland shirt are perfect for those getting ready to pack the suitcase for a trip! (click images below to shop)
Themed Disney Easter Basket Ideas
One of the easiest ways to build a Disney Easter basket is by keeping with a theme. Base your child’s basket theme around their favorite Disney character or movie.
If your child has a top activity, like sports, cooking or dance, choose Disney themed basket stuffers that match their hobby. For example, this Disney: The Simple Family Cookbook is awesome for a young chef!
