Sunshine & Pumpkin Spice: Why October Is the Secret Season to Visit Florida

1. Thrills Without the Crowds

Theme parks in October? YES, please. While the Halloween festivities are in full swing, the crowds are usually much lighter than in summer or during the holidays. Here’s what you can expect:

• Spooky events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party & Halloween Horror Nights
  

• Shorter wait times at major parks
  

• Perfect weather for all-day fun (without melting in the heat)
  

Whether you’re visiting for the frights or the fun, October hits that sweet spot between excitement and ease.

2. Fall Deals That Won’t Haunt Your Wallet

With summer behind us and the holidays ahead, October is prime time for savings:

• Lower nightly rates across many of our homes
  

• Special mid-week stay discounts
  

• Ideal timing for extended getaways or remote work + play
  

Save now and treat yourself to a little fall sunshine without the scary price tag!

3. Poolside Sunshine Meets Pumpkin Spice Nights

You can still soak up the sun in Florida—but now with a cozy fall twist:

• Enjoy warm weather by day (perfect for your private pool!)
  

• Cozy up with pumpkin spice lattes or cider by night
  

• Host a DIY fall movie night in one of our homes’ theaters or living rooms
  

From swimsuits to sweaters (light ones ), October lets you enjoy the best of both seasons.
