We hit the road when the school bell rings to explore everything from citrus tours and sandy shores to toddler-friendly fun and teen-approved thrills. If you're looking for the perfect Florida for your family, you'll find hundreds of ideas right here - from a mom who knows.

I love the fall. It’s my favorite time of year in the Sunshine State. The weather cools off, the crowds are gone and the sunsets are amazing. If you’re looking for some ways to spend time with the family having fun this fall, here’s a few of my favorite picks around the state:

Pensacola Seafood Festival

Calling all seafood lovers! The Pensacola Seafood Festival is coming up in just a few weeks. Head over to historic Seville Square and Bartram Park, where you can overlook beautiful Pensacola Bay and savor a wide variety of outstanding seafood from by hand-chosen vendors. You’ll also find a children’s area, more than 180 arts and crafts vendors, and live entertainment. And, admission is free! Call 850.433.6512 or visit their website for more info.

EPCOT Wine & Food Festival

Sept. 25-Nov. 8

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

This is a double-header at Walt Disney World that my family loves. Spend one day at EPCOT savoring food from around the world and spend a night trick or treating around the Magic Kingdom in costume (adults too)!

Are you in the mood for some lip smackin' seafood, great music, arts and crafts, and more? Then head over to the Hollywood Beach Clambake on Hollywood Beach's oceanfront Broadwalk. Best of all, it’s free!

Disney’s A Christmas Carol Train Tour
