Why go now
At $308 per person, this nonstop fare is $32 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $340. That works out to 9% under. The 12 fares we saw for this weekend ran from $308 to $475. For two, the flights come to $616, and Westgate Leisure Resort adds $227 for both nights. October brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and the Halloween events, so a short weekend gets you more than rides. The forecast runs from a high of 93°F on Friday down to 74°F on Sunday, with rain chances between 18% and 23%. Heads-up: recent checks on this route turned up a fare as low as $196, so this isn't the lowest we've seen. It's the price on the table right now, all-in with taxes and fees as of our check, and it can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with a festival on the side. It's fast-paced: a morning flight, then parks, food booths and fireworks before you fly home Sunday. It works best for a couple or two friends who want to pack a lot into a short trip. If you'd rather slow down, there's the Wekiva River, or you can stick to EPCOT's World Showcase.
