Yup, you can't hatch display eggs; you can only sell them. When you do sell them, I think you get around 1/4 of the sell value as experience. So at higher levels, selling those eggs for XP doesn't make much of a dent in the XP bar.
I'm at level 55 with the dragonarium, twinkling again after getting dream. I've got 7.2 billion in dc, only 665 gems and less than 100,000 food treats. Question I have, is last time they raised, the max level from 50 to 55, I didn't get any Xp from the dragons I hatched while waiting until they raised the max level . It seemed I had xp when level went from 45 to 50, am I wrong? The main reason I ask is because I have one entire island about 3/4 full of eggs I haven't hatched. I'm waiting until the level goes up to hatch them to get the xp. Another reason I have so few food treats, I don't want to miss out on xp. I've got all the islands, and plenty of cash to grow more treats but hate crowning a dragon and not getting xp for it.
I think BFS won't keep a backlog of the XP accumulated while at the maximum level. While frustrating, this is likely due to them wanting to avoid players quickly hitting the new maximum every time it is raised. They've mentioned before that the maximums (habitats, islands, levels) are put in place so as to minimise load and lag times, which would cause the player experience to suffer.

Not quite true. While I am pretty sure XP is always less than DC the ratio varies quite a bit for example, compare Lava (4,500XP/5,000DC) to Snow (2,500XP/1,000,000DC)
The rest is true though: Eggs, once put on a pedestal cannot be hatched. Only sold. XP is discarded if you are at max level Selling eggs does not shift the level bars much
If you really want to jump to a new max quickly, the best strategy is to hoard DC. Once new levels are announced, convert the DC to food and level up your dragons as quickly as possible. Personally I am happy to get there over a few weeks, so I don't much care about hoarding cash. The colosseum gets me up a level every 10 days or so. Usually quicker as other activity also boosts my level.

Great. I got a second Orchid while trying for my Pearl egg and had't even noticed. Switching to Tree + Lichen now in order to get my second Mistletoe. I hope I have better luck this time. Last year I had to resort to buying one with gems as it kept eluding me for the whole of December. And I had loads of dragons to get during the BEB since I only started to play in May 2013. It was the only time I actually bought a dragon like this. It is kind of a sore point for me. Sometimes I use gems to speed things up, but I don't want to just buy the dragon.
Really happy with my gorgeous avatar by ElektronX! GCID: Andr3i4 Any and all friends for Cooperative Breeding are welcome. Gladly accepting any twins also.
I still have to dream of a dream. But I have had a lot of luck with the golden hybrids.
At the moment I can't access my social menu which meansthat I can't collect or send gems.
Anybody else having trouble with it ?
I turned the ipad completely off (and on again) that helped.
That's happened to me several times, but not very recently. Each time it happened, I found that deleting the DV app and then reinstalling it solved the problem.
On my iPhone, GameCenter often craps out and DV will hang when loading. I have to reset GameCenter, maybe you can try resetting GC?
To do it, I power off the iPhone and then hold power + home until the apple symbol appears. That usually fixes my issue.

I didn't get a Mistletoe dragon by breeding when they were available last winter. I was peeved! I bought an egg but didn't have the gems to buy a dragon, too. This time, I have the gems to buy the stinking dragon and I'm just doing it. I can't believe I am...but with my record, I wasn't taking a chance. Now watch, I'll breed a ton of them between now and June 9.
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all/Gloom, despair, and agony on me... {HeeHaw, 1970s - totally showing my age)

I'm pretty sure in have two and an egg of all of the limiters but I'll work mistletoe + Lift to get rid of the goal for reindeer and go for an arctic at the same time

Hmm, I have two Gift Dragons and yet the hint is not unlocked. This happened with another dragon during the BEB event. Any idea if this is just a bug??
