Orlando from Albuquerque, Nov 14–21: $1,589 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- $354 per person round trip, $301 below the typical fare
- Typical highs of 74–78°F and lows near 60°F
- Best-value hotel scores 8.8 from 1,372 reviews, near Universal
The catch: The flight has one stop, 5h 5m outbound, a checked bag is about $140 for two extra, and none of the three hotels offers free cancellation.
Worth it if you want a full week of theme parks in mild weather; skip it if you need a nonstop or a hotel you can cancel free.
Worth it for the two of you: $1,589 for two, all in, with the Southwest flights at $708 plus 7 nights at our best-value hotel at $793, taxes and fees included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come back Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, on Southwest with one stop, 5h 5m on the way out. A checked bag and spending money are not in that total.

Why now
$354 per person round trip on Southwest, $301 below the typical fare on this route, which is $655 per person going by our earlier checks. That's 46% under, and it's the lowest fare we've seen here in 30 days. For two, the flights come to $708, and with 7 nights at the best-value hotel the whole trip is $1,589, all in, before a checked bag and spending money. Mid-November is a comfortable stretch for the parks: typical highs run 74–78°F with lows near 60°F, so long days walking Magic Kingdom or Epic Universe stay pleasant. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change. A full week gives you room for Disney, Universal and a quieter day on the Wekiva River without rushing.
The kind of trip this is
A theme-park week for two adults, with some shopping and nightlife on the side. Days are long and on your feet, from Magic Kingdom to Epic Universe, with evenings out on International Drive. It suits couples or friends who like rides, fireworks and good food, and who'd rather pace themselves over seven nights than cram everything into a long weekend.
