The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare is $274 per person, $10 under the $284 median
- Avanti International Resort: 7.6 from 8,790 reviews, free cancellation
- October brings EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events
The catch: The Frontier fare has one stop and takes 9h 13m overnight for a 200-mile trip, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you can sleep on a red-eye to keep the fare down; skip it if you'd rather take the 72-minute American nonstop at $834 for two.
Worth it if you don't mind a red-eye. The trip costs $807 for two: Frontier flights at $548 plus 2 nights at Avanti International Resort at $259, with taxes and fees included. It runs Oct 16–18, 2026, and the flight isn't nonstop: it leaves Friday at 10:55 PM, makes one stop and lands Saturday at 8:08 AM, 9h 13m in all.

Why now
The Frontier fare is $274 per person. That's $10 below the $284 median of our 12 earlier checks on this route, about 4% less. The trip comes to $807 for two with the flights and 2 nights at Avanti International Resort. A checked bag (about $240 for two), any resort fee and spending money are on top of that. October is when the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and the Halloween events run, so there's plenty to fill a short weekend. Friday's forecast is 93°F with a 42% chance of thunderstorms. Saturday is 79°F with a 20% chance of showers and Sunday is 75°F with 29%. You land at 8:08 AM Saturday, so you won't sleep in the room on Friday night. That's the trade for the lower fare.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend: one full day at Universal or Disney, a slower Sunday, and October's food and Halloween events on top. It suits two adults, whether a couple or friends, who'd rather do rides, fireworks and festival food than lie by a quiet pool. It's a quick pace, especially after an overnight flight, so plan one big park day instead of trying to cover everything.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if a red-eye doesn't bother you. The fare is $274 per person, $10 under the $284 median of our earlier checks, and the hotel has free cancellation. The trade is a 9h 13m overnight flight with one stop for a 200-mile trip.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$807: $548 for the Frontier flights plus $259 for 2 nights at Avanti International Resort, with taxes and fees included when we checked. A checked bag (about $240 for two), any resort fee and spending money are extra.
Is there a nonstop?
Yes. American flies nonstop in 72 minutes, leaving at 6:50 AM Friday and landing at 8:02 AM, for $417 per person or $834 for two. It costs more, but you get all of Friday in Orlando.
What is the weather like?
Friday's forecast is 93°F with a 42% chance of thunderstorms. Saturday cools to 79°F with a 20% chance of showers, and Sunday is 75°F with a 29% chance. Lows stay between 72°F and 75°F.
Is 2 nights enough?
For one big park day, yes. On the Frontier flight you land at 8:08 AM Saturday, so you won't use the room Friday night. Plan on Saturday and Sunday in Orlando.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from Miami to Orlando, paid in US dollars, with no time difference.
