Why go now
At $210 per person round trip, nonstop, this fare is $11 below the typical fare on this route. That's 5% under the $221 median from our earlier checks, and it carries the Lowest in 30 days badge. We saw 12 offers that ranged from $210 to $484. The other nonstop, on American, came in at $484 per person, so the Frontier fare is the one to look at. October also brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast cools from 93°F on Friday to 79°F on Saturday and 75°F on Sunday, with rain chances between 18% and 29%. That's enough time for one full park day and an easy Sunday before the flight home. All prices included taxes and fees when we checked, and they can change at any time.
The kind of trip this is
This is a short theme-park getaway that fits a couple or two friends who want one packed day and no long trip to get there. Plan a full Saturday at Disney, Universal or Epic Universe, with Friday afternoon for settling in. In October you can add festival food at EPCOT or a Halloween night. You won't sit in the sun all weekend, but you won't need to rush either.
