Why now
At $377 per person round trip, nonstop on Frontier, this fare is $27 below the typical fare on this route. That's 7% under the $404 median of our earlier checks. It's also the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $377 to $711. For two people, our budget comes to $1,533: $754 for flights, $259 for the hotel and $520 for spending. October in Orlando means the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast shows highs from 80°F to 93°F with some rain likely, and Friday's thunderstorms are the main thing to plan around. You fly out Friday evening, get a full Saturday in the parks or at the festival, and head home Sunday. It's a short theme-park weekend with real numbers behind it.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park getaway with a side of food and fall events. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want one big park day plus an easy Sunday. The pace is quick: land Friday night, go hard Saturday, keep Sunday light. If you like rides, festival food and Halloween events more than beaches or quiet, it's a good fit.

Where to stay in Orlando
We checked three 3-star hotels for Friday and Saturday night, all room only. Avanti International Resort is the best value at $259 for the stay ($130 a night) for a Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds. It's rated 7.6 from 8,790 reviews and has free cancellation. Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center is the budget pick at $268 ($134 a night), rated 7.4 from 11,415 reviews, also with free cancellation. Westgate Town Center Resort is the top-rated option at 8.5 from 1,757 reviews. It costs $272 ($136 a night) for a Deluxe Studio Villa in Celebration. Heads-up: it doesn't offer free cancellation. The two Avanti properties are in the Universal Orlando area, which works well for Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe. International Drive is the central strip for outlet malls and restaurants.
