Why now
$370 per person round trip, or $740 for two, is what we found for this weekend. That's $34 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, 8% less. We checked 12 offers, and they ran from $370 to $404 per person. If you'd rather skip the connection, Frontier's nonstop was $380 per person. Late October is a good window for Orlando: the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events are running, and the forecast shows highs of 84°F to 90°F with lows of 69°F to 72°F. Two nights at the best-value hotel plus $520 of spending money comes to $1,489 for two. It works as a quick theme-park weekend: a big park day Saturday, an easy Sunday, then home. Prices are all-in, taxes and fees included, as found at the time we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with a side of festival food and Halloween fun. It suits couples or friends who want one full park day, an evening of fireworks or food stalls, and an easy Sunday. The pace is quick: you land Friday afternoon, have all of Saturday for the parks and fly home Sunday, so pick one park and let the rest wait for next time.
