Orlando from Houston, Nov 14–21: $923 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop on Frontier from IAH, $76 per person
- $240 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs of 74–78°F all week, lows near 60°F
The catch: The outbound lands at 11:56 PM, the return gets you home at 12:25 AM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two on top.
Worth it if the two of you want a week of parks and can pack carry-on only; skip it if late-night flights wear you out.
Worth it, for the two of you: the whole trip is $923 for two. That covers the flights at $151 and 7 nights at Courtyard, Lake Buena Vista, Orlando Marriott Village at $695 plus its $77 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You'd fly nonstop on Frontier (F9) from IAH to MCO and stay Nov 14–21, 2026.

Why now
The nonstop fare is $76 per person. That's $240 below the typical fare on this route, which is $316 per person across 26 earlier checks, or 76% less. With 7 nights at Courtyard, Lake Buena Vista, Orlando Marriott Village, the trip comes to $923 for two, all in, at the prices we found when we checked. Prices move, so we can't promise this one will hold. Mid-November falls between October's festival season and the June-to-August stretch of hot, stormy afternoons and the longest park lines. Typical highs for your dates are 74–78°F, with lows near 60°F. The normals point to mostly overcast skies and some drizzle on arrival day, which is easy weather for long park days. It's a full week for Magic Kingdom, Universal and Epic Universe without the summer heat.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park week at an easy pace. Seven nights leaves room for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Universal and Epic Universe, with a slower day between them for the Wekiva River or the outlets on International Drive. It suits a couple or two friends who like rides, fireworks and long days on their feet, and who'd rather swap the beach for roller coasters this time.
