By the way, March folks...
A few fun things that may or may not be going on during some of your trips include:
Mardi Gras Celebration/Bayou Bash -- More than likely, this will probably not be happening at DLR in March at all (since the
real Mardi Gras ends in February), and
if it does happen it would only last until the very beginning of March, at the latest, but it's something to keep an eye out for -- especially for those of you whose trips are beginning in February. If nothing else, if there is no official Bayou Bash in
Disneyland this year, there could be some Mardi Gras-inspired treats and/or meals in the parks;
St. Patrick's Day Festivities -- This not an extensive array of fun, but usually involves green treats in the candy and bake shops, some green merchandise and some things in Downtown Disney; and
The Springtime Roundup and Easter Egg Hunts in Both Parks -- I am not 100% sure if the Springtime Roundup at Big Thunder Ranch will return this year (last year was the first official year for it), but I can't see why it wouldn't unless it is being refurbished or something. In 2014 it started in March and was due to close after Easter (4/20/14), but I think it actually stayed open a bit longer than that.
This year, because Easter is happening earlier in April, I wonder if the Springtime Roundup may open earlier in March. In any case, it featured all of the Disney rabbits and the Easter Bunny, Minnie and Mickey in pastel, spring-ish attire, Easter-inspired crafts, Disney character "egg art" (which was really amazing), spring decor and games, etc.
The Easter Egg hunting in both parks began on 4/10 last year and ended on 4/20. This year, because Easter is earlier in April, the hunts would either have to begin in March (to be able to run for 10 days), or have a very short run and start at the beginning of April. My guess is that the Egg Hunt would begin in March. But if, for some crazy reason, it did not begin until April or if it did not happen at all, the Springtime Roundup would most likely still be open in March.
Anyway, I have a lot of links to assorted blogs about Bayou Bash, St. Patrick's Day and the Springtime Roundup and Easter Egg hunts (blogs about treats, events, etc.) -- so if you want to learn a bit more about those possible March happenings, I will be happy to post the links for you!
