Why go now
$416 per person round trip, which is $282 below the highest fare we saw for these dates and 40% under that $698 fare. We checked 12 offers for this weekend, and $416 was the low end. The flight is nonstop on Frontier and takes 2h 46m. It leaves Grand Rapids on Friday, Oct 23 at 6:19 PM and lands at 9:05 PM, so all you give up is a Friday evening. October brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast shows highs of 84–90°F with rain chances between 17% and 30%. Flights for two, the $250 hotel and $520 in spending money add up to $1,602 all-in. It works well for a quick park weekend without using a week of vacation. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with a side of food festival and Halloween events. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want one big park day, a festival evening and a late Sunday by the pool. The pace is quick because there are only two nights, so pick one or two parks and skip the rest. Warm weather keeps it easy.
