Why go now
$219 per person, or $438 for two, nonstop. That's $210 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 49% gap across the 12 offers we checked. The morning flight leaves Charlotte at 9:32 AM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands at 11:35 AM, so you still get most of day one in Orlando. Our sample budget for two comes to $1,206 all in: $438 in flights, $248 for the Days Inn and $520 for spending money. Late October means the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and the Halloween events are both on. The forecast calls for highs of 84°F, 87°F and 83°F, with drizzle chances between 18% and 39%. That's warm enough for a full park day without the summer crowds. Prices are all-in as we found them and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with some food and nightlife mixed in. It works well for a couple or a pair of friends who want a long ride day, a festival dinner at EPCOT and a late night out on International Drive. The pace is quick: two nights, one big park day and a morning to spare before you fly home. With a 2h 3m flight each way, the travel won't eat into your time there.
