Fall is in the air! I noticed this morning some trees are starting to change color and a few leaves falling. Fall couldn't come soon enough for me, it's been a brutal summer here in the southeast! Of course as soon as it gets a little cold I will be ready for summer, but that will be another story.
This got me thinking about Walt Disney World in the fall. I love how they decorate for the fall. Cornstalks and pumpkins everywhere. I could try to describe the decorations in detail but a picture is worth a thousand words right? So here are a few pictures from a trip I took last October.
