When I think of spring at Walt Disney World, two of my favorite activities come to mind: Golf and Star Wars Weekends. Since I don’t have any photos of the wonderful Disney golf courses, here’s a shot of a few of the visitors to SWW 2010.

Wesley Cullen’s Mom:

This photograph reminds me of Spring for the simple fact it’s been one of the coldest/snowiest winters on record here in NC. I’m so ready for a broom to pour out brightly colored flowers and fresh kelly green grass all over my yard. I’m ready for Spring and nothing says spring like Disney’s displays for the season.

Isabelle Boivin:

I thought that I had nothing for this subject… but found it this morning. Spring in Disneyland in 2009. It was my first trip there. Beautiful trees, warmed my heart ! And I wanna say that it is -30C today in Quebec…. freeeeeeezzzzzzzzziiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg.

Centerline 717:

The gardens at Canada in EPCOT always remind me of spring. They are especially beautiful during the flower and garden festival, one of our favorite times to visit.

ssanders:

When I think of Spring and Disney one thing comes to mind The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. I love this event purely for the topiaries that come to life around the park. Sure, you can find other topiaries around WDW year round, but at Flower & Garden you will surely get your fill. The time and effort required develop and maintain these is mind blowing. It’s much more than just adding water.

SkaGoat:

Finally, my entry and commentary:

I have never been to the parks in the spring, so I don’t have any pretty photos of butterflies or Flower and Garden Festival, but everyday in Walt Disney World or Disneyland is like Spring to me. For some reason, maybe it’s because I know that’s where Flower and Garden is held, but I also love the vibrant colors, beautiful flowers, sun reflecting off Spaceship Earth and Universe of Energy, and the upbeat background music playing all around, EPCOT really gets me in that positive Spring mood.

Now, if only the real Spring would arrive.  I think I speak for everyone in the Midwest, East, and even South, when I say, “we’re ready for you, Spring!”
