Why does spring start mid-way through March and end mid-way through June?

Where I'm from, the seasons change 1st March, 1st June, 1st September, 1st December...

Lucky you! Where I'm from we have only two seasons, winter and July.

Fingers crossed for by Memorial Day weekend.

That is what I am hoping for too....maybe if I cross mine with yours and between the both of us, it may just happen

I think that is a great question. There are a lot of definitions Spring used around the world. In temperate regions in North America weather and climate are different than other areas around the world. For example in the tropics - the four seasons lose some of their meaning. Wikipedia has a great summary.

For me - Spring is whenever everything begins to bloom and the temperatures start to warm up.

I like using the concept that Winter begins on the Autumnal Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere), and the Winter Solstice is Mid-Winter. And summer begins with the Spring Equinox and June 21 is Mid-Summer Night. If you use this system - spring doesn't really have a clear time.

So, using that definition - Disney can open the Mine train whenever they want and still be ok. They don't like to be pinned down - and they are not in a hurry.

Madrid, Spain has been described as 9 months of winter and 3 months of Hell. Your comment is even more clever.

"You think it'll be an early spring?"

"I'm predicting March 21."

"You know, I think that actually is the first day of spring."

When I lived in Minnesota, I was told there were two season - winter and road repair.

Although my sister always claimed it was winter and July 7.

It is definitely not near soft opening stage at the moment. We were hoping and praying it would be, but - no.

This is disappointing! There was a thread on here a couple of months back where people were saying soft opening in December or January... I had my hopes up.

Anything not official Disney must be taken with a large grain of salt. Some people see the progress from outside and think it will be ready "soon", and others see the exact same thing and guess it is behind schedule.

During the parade broadcast on ABC they showed a new enhanced CGI "ride through". It may be old new but I thought it was pretty cool. It showed how that cars will sway and just a little bit of the track and such.

We'll in Melbourne, Australia, they say we get 4 seasons in one day, so I guess it's irrelevant anyway!

BTW, this coaster has been in construction now for almost 2.5 years. Really?

Really. Pretty much like WDW predicted.

I'm afraid this is going to be another Test Track opening. Does anyone remember back to that? From the first opening time I heard, the real opening was about 2 1/2 years later. I just hope the Mine Train isn't delayed that much.

While the exact opening date of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has not been announced, indications are that Disney Imagineering is aiming for an opening around Easter.

Oh I hope they have some soft openings or passholder previews! Our passes expire a week after Easter and we can't renew.
