A Beautiful Flower Mickey at Epcot

A Beautiful Flower Mickey at Epcot

It’s that time of year, when the snow is barreling down and driveways and appendages are frozen from the cold. It’s about this time of year that many families (especially in the cold states!) start dreaming of a spring break vacation at Walt Disney World.

If you have the flexibility to travel during non-traditional spring break times (for example, take the kids out of school for a few days) you will greatly benefit from the lower crowds.

Aside from running away from the cold, Walt Disney World has a lot to offer in the spring season. Here are two of my favorite things that you can look forward to while you’re thawing out:

  • Flower and Garden Festival: Epcot will host the International Flower and Garden Festival from March 6, 2013 to May 19, 2013. This special event is free with park admission and includes immaculate larger than life topiaries featuring our favorite Disney characters. There are topiaries all around the park, special event merchandise, special presentations by HGTV celebrities and seminars on a range of gardening techniques and tips. The Flower Power Concert Series brings a new band in each weekend from the 60’s and 70’s for live music. New for 2013 will be Oz the Great and Powerful themed gardens and children’s play areas.
  • Star Wars WeekendsIn a galaxy far, far away…Well, you may not be that far from home, but Disney does a GREAT job of making you feel like you are in a different galaxy. These themed weekends are hosted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios from Friday to Sunday, May 17 – June 9, 2013. This special event is included in your park admission and offers unique special experiences all weekend long. Hosted by celebrity guests James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstein each weekend will feature different Star Wars celebrities, autograph opportunities, special parades, character meet and greets and the famous “Hyperspace Hooplah” which is THE best time in any galaxy, guaranteed.
