Why go now
The flight is $429 per person round trip, or $858 for two, with taxes and fees included when we checked. Heads-up: that's above $360, the median of our earlier checks on this route, so this trip is about the timing, not a price drop. What the timing gets you is October in Orlando, with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events both running. The forecast shows 93°F and thunderstorms on Friday, then showers on Saturday at 79°F and Sunday at 75°F, so pack a light rain layer. Two nights at Avanti International Resort add $259, and our budget for two comes to $1,637 with $520 set aside for spending. It works best as a quick park weekend. Prices move, and we can't promise any of these will hold.
The kind of trip this is
A fast theme-park weekend with a food festival on the side. It suits couples or friends who want one big park day, an evening grazing at EPCOT and a slow Sunday by the pool. Saturday is busy and Sunday is easy. Families can make it work too, but the late Friday flight is a lot to ask of little ones.
