You can even have your Easter Basket delivered by one of their Easter “Bunnies” early on Easter Sunday. It’s a great way to still participate in the Easter fun even if you didn’t pack any festive items in your suitcase.

Food Updates – Contempo Café

Many snacks have gone away over the past few weeks as the 50th Anniversary neared its end, and now one snack has changed. For a while, the beloved Peanut Butter and Banana Pie was available with a 50th Anniversary design. The 50th Anniversary is over and that 50th design has gone away, but the treat remains — it has just changed its medallion to a regular Mickey medallion.
