Want to add some Disney-themed items to your Easter basket? Here’s my post with tips for making a Disney World themed basket.

Use an Easter themed bag if you’ll be traveling

Unless you’ve got a suitcase that works like Hermoine’s magical purse, a basket will not be convenient for travel. Choose a festive gift bag instead.
