This month FLEW 💨 by. It’s been a busy one for me with fun-filled weekends and lots of time spent at Halloween Horror Nights! I definitely got into the spooky spirit pretty early this year 🎃. And honestly, I don’t hate it. Even though I’m not a pro at handling scary things, I always have such a good time and will always be up for the thrill 🥳.
What are you most looking forward to this spooky season? Let me know! Or if you have a favorite haunted house you like to check out, send it my way! I’m putting together a list for you all next week.
Now, let’s get into what’s happening this weekend ⤵️
I’ve been waiting months for this event to finally kick off 🤭
Twelve different worlds are taking over Orlando’s Leu Gardens with an immersive Halloween event this season. Yeah, you read that right. TWELVE. If you’ve visited Leu Gardens before, you know just how much there is to explore 🔎.
Happy Frights and Haunting Nights kicks off tomorrow, giving unique experiences for the young ones and those looking for a little more fright.
Families can visit trick-or-treating stations, see live magic shows during Happy Frights in the early evening all while visiting the 12 immersive worlds. Once night falls, those brave enough for Haunting Nights can experience the more spooky with jump scares and thrills 😱.
Let me tell you, the worlds sound so cool! Wanna visit the Dragons’ Nest 🐉? What about Scarecrow Summit?
I’m going to get a sneak peek of it tonight, and I’ll report back next week with my thoughts!
