I don't think that there WOULD be any seasons.  There'd probably be a
constant climate.  And actually, I've read that a Dyson's sphere would
be unstable without some sort of artificial stablizers, if one side, for
whatever reason, became closer, it would tend to continue approaching,
and the sphere would be more and more off-center, until tidal forces
ripped it apart, so some sort of mechanism would have to keep it
stable.  The upshot would be that it would have to be kept perfectly
centered on the sun, i.e., no seasons.

Interesting idea of using moons to make night and day.  But, wouldn't
the moons have a lot more space between them than their diameter, thus
making the "night" be extraordinarily short?  Perhaps a better idea
might just be 24 hours of daylight, with the sphere located far enough
away to keep it from getting too hot.  Just my 2 cents.
