Why go now
When we checked, nonstop round trips on Frontier were $323 per person. That's $135 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. Across the 12 offers we looked at, the top fare was $458, so this one is 29% lower and comes to $646 for two. Our planning budget for two people is $1,416. It covers flights, the best-value hotel and $520 of spending money. The timing works: October brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events. The forecast shows highs of 84°F to 90°F and a 17% to 30% chance of rain each day, so pack for warm days and maybe some drizzle. The flight takes 2h 20m with no time change. The 11:53 AM Friday departure lands at 2:13 PM, early enough for a pool or a park that afternoon. Prices include taxes and fees as we found them, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend at full speed. You get two nights and two warm days for Disney, Universal or Epic Universe, plus festival food at EPCOT and Halloween events at night. It suits couples or two friends who want to fit a lot into a short getaway. If you'd like a slower pace, you can trade a park day for a kayak or airboat tour on the Wekiva River.
