Why now
$527 per person round trip, $1,053 for two, all-in with taxes and fees when we checked. That's $129 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 20% gap, across 12 offers that ran from $527 to $656. If you'd rather skip the connection, the nonstop on the same airline was $534 per person, just $7 more. Pair the flight with the best-value hotel and our sample budget for two comes to $1,846, including $130 a day each for food and fun. Late October lines up with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events, and the forecast shows highs of 84–87°F with a 21–35% chance of rain. It's a weekend for one big park day and one easy morning. Fares move, so treat this as what we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with a food angle: two nights, one full park day, and an evening at EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival if you plan for it. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like rides, snacks and a bit of nightlife, and who don't mind a fast Saturday followed by a slow Sunday morning before the 11:59 AM flight home.
