A week away

Orlando from Albany, Nov 14–21: $1,410 for two, all in

The verdict

Our verdict

Worth it, if

  • $319 per person, $193 below the typical fare on this route
  • Highs of 74–78°F and lows near 60°F for park days
  • Review score 8 from 565 reviews, a short shuttle from Disney

The catch: One stop on United Express makes it 5h 24m, landing at 12:59 AM; a checked bag is about $160 for two and isn't in the total.

Worth it if you can handle a late-night landing for a fare under typical; skip it if you'd rather pay $720 for two for the 3h 5m Southwest nonstop.

Worth it if a connection doesn't bother you: $1,410 for two, all in, covers the flights at $638 plus 7 nights at Courtyard, Lake Buena Vista, Orlando Marriott Village at $695 and its $77 property fee, with taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 14–21, 2026, on United, operated by CommuteAir as United Express. It isn't nonstop: the flight down has one stop.

Why now

At $319 per person, the fare is $193 below the typical fare on this route, based on 23 earlier checks. Of the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $319 to $487 per person, so this one is at the bottom of that range. Mid-November brings typical highs of 74–78°F and lows near 60°F, warm enough for long park days without the hot, stormy afternoons and long lines of June through August. A full week, 7 nights, gives you room for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Universal and Epic Universe, with slower days in between. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change, so $1,410 for two is what we saw when we checked, not a promise it will hold.

The kind of trip this is

This is a theme-park week at an easier pace than a long weekend allows. It suits a couple or two friends who want Disney and Universal on the same trip, plus a day out on the river. With seven nights you can mix big park days with lighter ones and still stay out for the fireworks without wearing yourselves out.
