It’s that glorious time of year when the children return to school, summer crowds have disappeared, rates at most resorts are lower, and the weather begins to cool down so here are some fantastic Fall Getaway Ideas for 2018. September, October and early November are great months for travel and the perfect time to be outside to enjoy the pleasant air and the best fall has to offer. Take advantage of great availability, reasonable accommodation rates, harvest-season events, and Mother Nature’s finest autumn color displays. Here are a few ideas to get you started on fall getaway vacation planning.
In Orlando, Florida take advantage of the shorter ride wait times at almost all Orlando area theme parks and attractions, including Universal Studios and Disney World. Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival is held from late September thru November and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom will be happening again this year on select nights in the fall. As this is the off-season, you will likely have your pick of many fine dining locations at the theme parks, in downtown Orlando, and in upscale Winter Park.
If planning a visit to Savannah, Georgia, attend the Bacon Festival or just take a stroll along the historic riverfront area. Schedule a ferry ride or spooky ghost tour. Enjoy a meal at a haunted restaurant, keeping with the fun of the Halloween season.
The Great Smoky Mountains of the Tennessee/ North Carolina state line will wow you with breathtaking views of nature’s finest display of fall foliage in late September and October. Stop by Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for exciting live entertainment, casual dining and plenty of shopping minus the hustle and bustle of the summer crowds.
September is National Bourbon Heritage Month in Louisville, Kentucky. A 34-stop Urban Bourbon Trail is a seasonal highlight. In October, the city of Louisville hosts The Jack-O’-Lantern Spectacular in Iroquois Park. Be sure to sample all the incredible southern-style dishes and special bourbon pecan pie.
In Eastern Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains, enjoy relaxing, scenic drives along winding roads. Crossover several historic covered bridges, visit special historic sites and learn something new at interesting museums throughout the area. Spend an afternoon wine tasting at regional wineries.
New York City’s Central Park is a great place to see the beauty of the leaves changing color from late September through mid-October. Take in the sights and sounds along the busy streets of Manhattan. Visit art museums, shop in the department stores and trendy boutiques, enjoy fine dining, and take in a fantastic Broadway show.
