Why now
When we checked, the fare was $512 per person round trip, all-in. That's $75 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 13% difference. We looked at 12 offers, and they ran from $512 to $587 per person. Add Westgate Town Center Resort at $272 for both nights plus spending money, and our budget comes to $1,816 for two. Late October brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast shows highs of 84–87°F, lows of 71–73°F and rain chances between 21% and 35%. One catch: the $512 fare adds up to 43h 39m of travel across both legs. You land Saturday at 12:39 PM and fly out Sunday at 6:07 AM. We also found a Southwest nonstop at $527 per person that leaves Friday at 6:50 AM and takes 3h.
The kind of trip this is
This is a quick theme-park getaway. It suits a couple or two friends who want one big park day, an evening at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival or a ride at Universal, plus warm late-October weather. On the $512 fare you get Saturday afternoon and evening in Orlando, so pick one park and keep everything else loose. The Southwest nonstop gives you more time on the ground.
