Disneyland Resort Limited Time Magic Events 3/22

March 25, 2013 by Jason Dz

1) At Disney California Adventure there was a Vinylmation Easter Egg Hunt going on this week. You buy the map for $4.95 (no discounts) from one of several stores around the park and then go off to find the eggs. Once you are done you head to Elias & Co to redeem your prize. It is an honor system event. There are no cast members with the eggs. As I walked the park there were a good number of guests participating and all I overheard/observed seemed to be having a good time. 2) The other Limited Time Magic Event today was for Disneyland Annual Passholders at the Opera House, a special presentation by Dave Smith.
