Why now
The fare is $377 per person. That's $27 below the typical fare on this route, or 7% under, and the lowest we've seen in 30 days across 13 checks. Before you go, the whole trip comes to $1,013 for two: $754 for the flights and $259 for the hotel. October brings the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events, so this long weekend lands right in the middle of both. The forecast is mixed. Friday shows 93°F with a 74% chance of thunderstorms, but you don't land until 8:05 PM. Saturday looks overcast at 80°F with a 22% chance of rain, and Sunday shows 81°F with drizzle at 32%. Pack a rain jacket and make Saturday your big park day.
The kind of trip this is
This is a fast theme-park weekend for two adults: you get one full day on Saturday and some of Sunday before the flight home. It suits couples or friends who already know which park they want and who'd enjoy a festival menu at EPCOT or a Halloween event at night. The pace is busy, with long days on foot and a short flight each way.

Where to stay in Orlando
We picked Avanti International Resort as the best value: $259 for the 2 nights ($130 a night), with a 7.6 from 8,790 reviews and free cancellation. It's in the Universal Orlando area, which puts you within walking distance of Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Epic Universe. Westgate Town Center Resort is the top-rated pick at 8.5 from 1,757 reviews. It costs $272 for the stay ($136 a night) for a Deluxe Studio Villa in Celebration, but there's no free cancellation. Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center is our budget pick at $268 ($134 a night), with a 7.4 from 11,415 reviews and free cancellation, and it's also near Universal. All three are room only, so breakfast isn't included.
