     I have always loved Orlando in the Fall. You Northerners probably find that weird, because Fall is the one time of year that the struggles and strife of dealing with snow and cold is all worthwhile. You get paid off in beautiful colors, crisp air and apple and pumpkin picking outings, right? All true. And I miss my hometown of Boston in the Fall very much, I am constantly reminded that Fall in Orlando is pretty awesome too. Here's why... Perfect Orlando weather! 1. Oh the weather outside is.... delightful!        OK, so I will admit that weather in the Fall in Central Florida is a bit unpredictable, what with hurricanes and tropical storms and all, but a good 75% of the time  the weather is beautiful . Mostly warm, sunny days, followed by comfortable, breezy nights. Warm enough to swim, but cool enough to not feel like your face is melting. October weather, on average, makes me say to myself, "THIS is what they meant by a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah day!" 2. Hey

                                      Hey-Howdy-Hey, everyone!      Well, it's that time of year again... the weather is starting to cool, (It went from 98 to 91 in Orlando, but that still counts!), Pumpkin Spice Lattes are due back in stores soon, kids are going back to school, and Disney Parks have already started stocking their shelves with Halloween merchandise. (Really.) I think it's safe to say that Fall is almost upon us.      Now, if you have ever done any research about a trip to Walt Disney World in the Fall, I am sure that you have heard of a little something called "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party."  What IS MNSSHP, you ask? Well, it is a special, hard ticketed event at the Magic Kingdom, occurring a couple of times per week, on designated dates. This year's dates are: Sept. 2nd, 8th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 29th, 30th, Oct. 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27t
