Ready to put the winter behind you? Then what better way than a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida? It is a great time to visit and to take in such special events as the 2020 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival and its Garden Rocks Concert Series, as well as the many new offerings at the Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
