Why now
We found a Frontier nonstop at $88 per person round trip for Nov 14–21, 2026, which is $176 for two. That's $64 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 42% gap across 12 offers that ranged from $88 to $152. Prices are all-in as found and can change before you buy. In mid-November, typical highs are 74–78°F with lows near 60°F. That's far from the hot, stormy afternoons and long park lines of June through August. It's a comfortable week for long walking days at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Universal and Epic Universe. Our sample budget for two comes to $2,917, with $921 for the best-value hotel and $1,820 for spending money.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park week: long days at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Universal, with outlet shopping and a night out on International Drive in between. Seven nights let you pace it, with a park day, then a pool or river day. It suits a couple or two friends traveling together, and anyone who'd rather do Orlando in mild weather than in the summer heat.
