To mark the start of Spring, horticulturalists at the
Disneyland Resort each year plant vibrant blooms and fresh greenery
to complement the naturally occuring explosion of bright blossoms and
foliage among the park’s many trees. It’s no wonder that this is the
favorite season for many Disneyland Resort regulars.
Join us as we take a tour around the park to enjoy some
of the prettiest sights around the resort.
One of the most widely recognized pieces of flowerwork
in all of Disneyland Park is this Mickey Mouse in the entry area of
the park. Since the area is always crowded, one of the best times to
capture an unobstructed photo of this familiar shot is to just aim your
camera between the bars of the center gate well before the official
opening of the park.
Even from the Disneyland Railroad platform, the foliage
is so thick that Sleeping Beauty Castle is barely visible at the far end
of Main Street, USA.
Beautiful flowers are not limited to exterior areas in the
park. The China Closet on Main Street is decorated with spring flowers,
white lights, and painted eggs.
Beds of pansies and daffodills trim the edge of many of
the grassy areas along Main Street. Although the unseasonably warm spring
weather caused many of these flowers to wilt and burn, Disney workers
replanted the beds to keep the flowers fresh and bright.
The Partners statue is framed with a burst of bright pink
blossoms, making it an even more popular subject for countless snapshots.
Although the rose arches above the Storybook Land Canal
Boats are not yet in bloom, the nearby trees are already showing off their
colors.
The trellis above Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in Fantasyland welcomes
visitors, as the newly reopened Matterhorn stands in the background.
Bougainvillea and cactus provide the main foliage theme
around Big Thunder Mountain.
Bright desert flowers thrive in the planters around Rancho
del Zocalo restaurant in Frontierland.
Tree branches, thick and full with bright green leaves,
lend a look of an authentic jungle for Tarzan’s Treehouse.
Residing peacefully in the shadows of Sleeping Beauty Castle
in Fantasyland, Snow White’s Grotto truly lives up to its name as lush
foliage dripping with leaves cascades along the waterfall.
Orange trees frame the entrance to Tomorrowland.
The planters around Tomorrowland are filled with edible
plants, including sage, basil and rhubarb.
A full-sized Mickey topiary welcomes guests to the Disneyland
Hotel. Behind the topiary is the hotel’s Neverland pool area, as both
are sandwiched between two of the hotel’s towers.
The wedding gazebo at the Disneyland Hotel looks particularly
charming with the extra greenery.
Poppies—a popular California flower—bloom in planters
inside Disney’s California Adventure.
Disney’s California Adventure park’s sun icon reflects the
morning light while bright poppies welcome guests at the start of the
day.
Grizzly Peak, viewed from A Bug’s Land, evokes the beauty
of California wildlife, with a bed of beautiful poppies in the foreground.
Larkspur stalks fill the planters in front of the Golden
Dreams theater in DCA.
A tree on the patio outside Pizza Oom Mow Mow explodes with
spring colors.
A perfect spring day at Disneyland should always end with
fireworks — or as the Japanese Believe announcer calls it,
“hanabi” — fireflowers.
