Here’s Everything Disney That’s Happening For Fall ’14.

Summer ends, school is back in session, and yet somehow it still manages to be warmer than it’s been all year here in Southern California.

Yet, something seems to be different in the air. All of a sudden the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg reaches your nostrils every time you step into a grocery store. Coffee shops and bakeries seems to embrace the craze of “pumpkin spice” everything. You no longer see green but rather an array of red, orange and gold colors every where. That’s when you realize, autumn is here. Each of us have our own way of experiencing fall.

Here’s how you can experience fall the Disney way.
