ORLANDO, Fla. – While Florida doesn’t really feel like fall because, well, it’s always hot here, we can make the most of the season by doing all the typical fall things.
Just imagine heading out to a corn maze, enjoying some apple cider and maybe even bobbing for apples.
Even better? You better believe we’re talking about fall festivals.
