I asked my husband what he wanted for Father’s Day this year and he said that he had enough material things but that he’d like to have more experiences. I also asked a few other dad friends and they all said the same thing: NO MORE TIES! Dads want to go out, treat them to an exciting experience. 

Here are 5 fun things to do in Orlando for Father’s Day. 

Dezerland Park Orlando

Dezerland has over 20 thrilling indoor activities including the iconic Orlando Auto Museum,

Born and raised in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Mother of a 7 year old boy and 6 year old girl and wife to an amazing husband. She’s new to Orlando but not new to crafting. When she was 9 years old she and a friend made 25 bracelets with lace, string, hot glue and velcro and took them to school expecting to sell one or two. To her surprise, they sold all of them, although Frances went on to sell Pokemon cards after that, she always knew she liked both crafting and business. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in International Business in 2012. When she was a few weeks shy of her 24th birthday, using all of her savings, she bought a repossessed 2 story house with 2 apartments on the second floor, so she was a landlord for 9 years before the house was sold. When she was pregnant with her oldest in 2016, she felt a strong desire to sew, she had always liked the idea of sewing but never really used a machine before. Her husband bought her a sewing machine for Mother’s day and she soon became obsessed with sewing, which then led her to start Crafty Franny. While Crafty Franny has been through many different stages, one thing has remained the same, Frances loves to craft. Crafty Franny is an active member of the Avalon Park Arts and Culture center and also offers sewing classes to the Avalon Park community.
