- $340 per person on Frontier, $15 below the typical $355

Why now
At $340 per person, the Frontier fare is $15 below the typical $355 on this route, or 4% under the median of our 12 earlier checks. For two, that's $680 in flights. Avanti International Resort adds $259 for 2 nights, so the trip comes to $939 before you go. October is a good time to land in Orlando, since the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events are on. Once you arrive, the forecast looks workable: Saturday hits 79°F with a 20% chance of showers, and Sunday hits 75°F with 29%. Friday's thunderstorms, with a 93°F high and a 42% chance of rain, mostly fall while you're still traveling. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change. Spending money, resort fees and a checked bag aren't in that total.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fast-paced theme-park weekend. Think a Saturday at Universal or Disney, a festival dinner at EPCOT and whatever Sunday allows before the flight home. It suits a couple or two friends who already know which park they want and don't mind starting the day at 5:45 AM. If you'd rather take things slow, wait for a nonstop or a longer stay.

Where to stay in Orlando
Avanti International Resort is our best-value pick at $259 for the 2 nights, or $130 a night. It has a 7.6 score from 8,790 reviews and free cancellation, and it's the hotel in the $939 total. Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center is the budget pick at the same $259. It's rated 7.4 from 11,420 reviews and also has free cancellation. Both are in the Universal Orlando area, walkable to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe. Balcony Lake Views - Pool, Gym, WiFi & Parking is the top-rated choice, with 9.7 from 210 reviews, at $272 for the stay. It's a one-bedroom apartment with a lake view in Lake Buena Vista, a short shuttle from Disney, but it doesn't offer free cancellation.
