Are you counting down the days until Orlando's slightly cooler fall temperatures arrive? To help get you into the fall spirit, Grande Lakes Orlando, the 500-acre property home to The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando, is bringing back its popular Fall on the Farm Festival, hosted Saturdays and Sundays in October from 10am-3pm.
This seasonal celebration will take place at the resort's 18,000 square foot, on-site Whisper Creek Farm. Festivities include fall-centric activities like pumpkin picking, pumpkin carving, a hayride, farmer's market, seasonal food and beverage and more. Couples and families can also book a mini photo session with The Photography Concierge ($30 – $100).
Tickets are $60/person for non-resort guests ($40 for overnight guests) and capacity is limited.
