Orlando from Charleston, Oct 23–25: $800 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop on Breeze, 1h 28m, leaving Charleston at 3:27 PM Friday
- $248 per person, $20 below the typical fare on this route
- Westgate Town Center Resort: 8.5 from 1,757 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: A checked bag is about $160 for two and isn't in the $800, and the Saturday and Sunday forecasts show drizzle.
Worth it if you want a fast park-and-festival weekend for two; skip it if you need more than 2 nights to see the parks.
Worth it for the two of you: Orlando for 2 nights, Oct 23–25, 2026, comes to $800 for two, all in. That covers nonstop Breeze flights from Charleston at $496 ($248 per person) plus Westgate Town Center Resort at $272 and its $32 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $248 per person, the nonstop Breeze fare is $20 below the typical fare on this route, about 7% under. It was also the lowest of the 12 offers we saw, which went as high as $507. With the hotel, its $32 resort fee, taxes and fees, the whole trip is $800 for two. In October you get the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and the Halloween events. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows highs of 76–85°F and a 10–13% chance of rain each day, so you skip the hot, stormy afternoons of summer. The flight is 1h 28m and leaves at 3:27 PM Friday, so you can work the morning and still land at 4:55 PM. Two nights gives you one big park day and a festival evening. Prices are what we found when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park long weekend for two: one big park day, an evening of food at EPCOT and an easier Sunday by the pool or on the Wekiva River. It suits couples or two friends who like rides, food and a full Saturday. The pace is quick, with a short flight on either end, and it works for a first trip to the parks or a return trip.
