Why go now
At $274 per person, this fare is $10 under the typical $284, which is the median of 12 earlier checks on this route. That's about 4% less. For two, flights come to $548 all-in as of our check. A full weekend budget of $1,327 for two covers those flights, $259 for the hotel and $520 for spending. October is a good month to go because the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and Halloween events are on. The forecast cools over the weekend, from 93°F with thunderstorms on Friday to 79°F on Saturday and 75°F on Sunday, with a chance of showers. Heads-up: the lowest fare we saw in earlier checks was $183, so this isn't the floor. It's a fair price for a short theme-park getaway. Prices include taxes and fees as found and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a theme-park weekend with room for food and shopping. It suits friends or a couple who want a full Saturday in the parks, a festival dinner at EPCOT and an easy Sunday. The pace is quick because the flight lands Saturday morning. It's a two-day sprint, not a slow vacation, so pick one or two parks and keep the rest loose.
