  1. If you love a good brunch in a relaxing and fun environment, we have some news for you! Time to Eat! There are a number of spots that serve up brunch in Disney World. From the delicious offerings at Homecomin’ in Disney Springs to a Mimosa Flight at Whispering Canyon Cafe, there are plenty of things to try if brunch is your favorite meal of the day. But now we’ve got some EXCITING Disney brunch news! Back in 2021, brunch returned to Olivia’s Cafe at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. This spot is a bit of a hidden gem since it’s tucked away over at Old Key West and is a restaurant people not staying at the resort might not even think about. But trust us when we say this is a spot you won’t want to miss. Brunch had only returned on a limited basis though, being offered on Saturdays and Sundays generally from 7:30AM-2PM. But now things have changed! Things Are Changing! Back in June of 2022, Disney announced that brunch would soon be available EVERY SINGLE DAY at Olivia’s Cafe, and folks, that day has FINALLY arrived! Starting today (September 1st, 2022), brunch is officially available at Olivia’s Cafe every single day of the week! That’s right — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc. — any day you want, you can tuck into some Spam-Cheddar Biscuits, Shrimp and Grits, or some other brunch options at this spot! Brunch Menu For our meal, we started with the Parrot Punch. This is made with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Melon Liqueur, Peach Schnapps, and Pineapple Juice, priced at $14. So Tropical We also grabbed the SPAM-Cheddar Biscuits, which are served with white gravy and drizzled with honey. They’re priced at $15. Would You Try These? Next was a NEW addition to the brunch menu — the Banana Bread Pudding, which is topped with a Bahamian Banana-Rum Syrup, Creme Anglaise, and Coconut Whipped Cream, served with a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, all for $16. (Bread pudding in general is something we’ve seen served at Old Key West and Olivia’s in the past, so we’re interested to see how this version holds up.) Bread Pudding, We Are So Ready for You And finally, we just had to try the Sombrero Beach Omlet. This is made with ham, green peppers, onions, and cheddar, topped with sour cream and pico de Gallo, and served with Olivia’s potatoes and a buttermilk biscuit for $17. Omlet Time We’ll be sharing a FULL review of these dishes later, so stay tuned for that! Brunch is now served every day at Olivia’s Cafe from 7:30AM-2PM, and you can check the Walt Disney World website for reservations.

  3. One of the least magical parts about The Most Magical Place on Earth can be the CROWDS. No one wants to navigate a sea of people on their way to find a Dole Whip or ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Although it’s definitely possible to have a great trip even when there are big crowds in the parks, it’s much more relaxing if you can find a time to visit when there aren’t a lot of people there. Main Street crowds | mid-August 2022 Recently, however, it’s been tricky to find a time when Disney World isn’t packed to the rafters. Even when it was supposed to be Disney’s “slow” season, we’ve been seeing the big crowd levels remain pretty much constant. But this week we’ve noticed a major change in the parks — we can stretch out our arms and NOT hit 18 people in the process. Seriously, the parks haven’t just been slightly less crowded — sometimes they feel like a ghost town. So what brought on this shift? Could it be that revenge travel is FINALLY ending? Let’s take a look. What Is Revenge Travel? Revenge travel is a newer term (coined in 2021) for the trend of people traveling more frequently due to their plans being put on hold previously for the COVID-19 pandemic. Because many people put off vacations during the pandemic, they were anxious to get out and travel once the restrictions were over. It’s kind of like people were taking “revenge” on the pandemic for delaying their plans by vacationing more than they usually would. Southwest Flight CNN reported that May 2021 saw the “single highest increase in average travel search traffic” on travel booking site Expedia with a 10% increase. This happened just a week after the European Union extended its contract with Pfizer and approve the vaccine for teenagers. At that time, 60% of Expedia consumers had plans to travel domestically and 27% had plans to travel internationally in 2022. Orlando International Airport crowds Not only did more people plan to travel than usual, but those people planned BIG trips. CNBC reported a trend to “go big” on 2022 vacations, as more people planned extravagant trips. They attributed this trend to a mindset of living in the moment and taking advantage of the time you have, which resulted from the pandemic. According to a survey of 12,000 travelers in 12 different countries, “65% of respondents [planned] to ‘go big’ on their next trip” (CNBC). Travel picked up The US Travel Association recently noted that travel spending in July 2022 was roughly at July 2019 levels, “which marked the fourth consecutive month that spending was at, or above, 2019 levels.” Despite higher travel prices (resulting from staffing shortages and other global issues), people want to get out and take the vacations that they lost over the last couple of years. That trend has lasted for almost a year and a half now, but it may be slowing down now. Learn more about why travel is more expensive now. How Has It Affected Disney World? A Disney World vacation definitely qualifies as “going big,” so it follows the trend mentioned above that more people have visited the parks than usual over the last couple of years. Not only are we seeing BIG crowds during the normally busy seasons, but we’ve seen those crowd levels remain consistent through the “slow” seasons as well. Crowds in Hollywood Studios | early August 2022 For example, late January and February are usually a slow season in Disney World, as many people are going back to school and settling into a normal routine after holiday travel. We initially saw lower crowds in the parks around mid-January 2022, but those crowds picked right back up by the end of the month. Crowds entering Magic Kingdom Even through February, the crowds did not let up. Disney World’s park passes sold out on multiple days that month, which means all 4 parks reached capacity. This is normally a very slow time in the parks, so the change was shocking at the time. EPCOT entrance As the year continued, we saw some Disney fans reporting that they wouldn’t travel as much over the summer due to inflation, price increases, potential new COVID-19 variants, and other factors. However, the Disney World crowds reflected a different story as park passes continued to sell out and visitors continued to fill the parks. Crowds in Animal Kingdom During a recent earnings report, Disney executives shared that they were confident the parks would continue to draw lots of visitors. Disney CEO Bob Chapek said that the company sees “nothing in the future indicating anything to the contrary of what we’ve seen” in terms of guest demand for the theme parks. He claimed that the new trend of constant big crowds was “resilient and long-lasting.” In other words, Disney expects demand to remain high. And so far, they’ve been right. But now we’re seeing that start to change. Learn more about what Disney executives said about demand here. So What’s Different Now? For the first time in a LONG time, we’ve seen a major dip in crowd levels in the parks. Although we normally expect this to happen around the beginning of September (as summer ends, kids go back to school, and some people wait for their holiday vacations), we’ve become used to the constant crowds no matter the time of year. So it was a bit of a shock to walk into a half-empty Magic Kingdom this week! Where’d everybody go? Could this be the start of back-to-normal crowd trends? It’s possible that now — a couple of years after COVID-19 restrictions began being lifted — most people have taken their revenge trips and are now returning to a normal vacation schedule. More people have also returned to in-office jobs where they previously may have worked from home (as working from home typically allows more flexibility to vacation during different times of the year). An empty walkway in Animal Kingdom Other factors may be contributing to the current dip in crowds. For example, many people are concerned about a potential recession in the U.S. and could be saving their money instead of spending it on a vacation. In addition, credit card debt has hit some all-time highs recently, which could also prompt some people to stay home. Inflation has impacted many travel-related costs, such as airplane tickets, gasoline, and hotel stays. Disney’s Hollywood Studios The Washington Post reported that some Americans are starting to hold off on spending their money on things like booking flights, building pools in their backyards, replacing their roofs, and even getting haircuts. In the past few months, some households have pulled back on certain purchases, due to price increases and other factors. EPCOT “crowds” All of these factors seem to be coming together to create lower-than-normal crowds in Disney World right now. We’ll have to wait and see some broader trends to really determine whether revenge travel is officially over, but this is the first sign that we could be returning to the usual crowd trends in the parks. Click here to see how the low crowds have affected Disney World ride wait times. So it seems that normal Disney World crowd patterns might be returning. Having those consistent trends allows you to prepare for the expected crowds and potentially even plan your trip around the busy and slow seasons in the parks. Of course, you can still have a great time even if there are lots of crowds.

  4. Guess what September is? City Works in Disney Springs It’s the beginning of the football season AND the beginning of Oktoberfest (yes, Oktoberfest starts in September). That means it’s time to grab some delicious snacks to watch some games AND drink some beer while yelling PROST. Sure, you could celebrate the latter at Biergarten in EPCOT, but you can also celebrate BOTH football season and Oktoberfest at ONE spot in Disney Springs! All you have to do is visit City Works Eatery and Pour House! First celebrate football season with some delicious food, like Buffalo Chicken Dip, made with Pulled Buffalo Chicken, Bleu Cheese Cream, House-made Giardiniera, Corn Tortilla Chips. You can also get Smoked Chicken Wings, made with Grilled Chili-rubbed Wings, BBQ Sauce, and Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce. Finally, don’t forget to order the Loaded Baked Potato Flatbread (okay, say what?), made with Fingerling potatoes, hardwood smoked bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, green onions, and ranch dressing. Y’all, that sounds SO GOOD. You don’t even have to be into football to enjoy something like that, right? Don’t forget the beer But that’s not all because you can also celebrate Oktoberfest at City Works from September 17th through October 3rd. Nom on some special snacks created just for the celebration like the Smokehouse Currywurst, made with Spicy hot link, currywurst sauce, bacon braised sauerkraut, caramelized onions, and steak roll. Or try the Crispy Pork Belly Spaetzle, made with Crispy braised pork belly, brown butter, roasted garlic, wilted arugula, spaetzle, and Lagunitas spicy brown mustard. There’s also Pork Schnitzel, made with Hand-pounded bone-in pork chop, warm potato salad, and mustard cream sauce. Spaetzle © City Works Also, don’t forget that as part of City Works 90 beers, there will be some special Oktoberfest-themed brews to try. So if you love football or Oktoberfest (or both), head on over to Disney Springs to enjoy some food and drinks! Read our City Works review here! While you’re in Disney Springs, don’t forget to satisfy your sweet tooth with a stop at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew (maybe grab that special Disney World 50th anniversary donut?) or Gideon’s Bakehouse for some delicious HUGE cookies.

  5. Do you love your Amazon Prime membership and all the perks it comes with? Are you a Disney fan? Do you love getting discounts and perks? Well, we’ve got some BIG news for you. You Might Need a New Disney Membership Soon You may already have your Annual Pass to the parks, your Disney+ subscription, and your D23 membership — but you may soon need to add another Disney membership to your list (and incorporate it into your budget). According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Disney is reportedly exploring the possibility of creating an Amazon Prime-like membership. What?! Yes, it’s true. Let’s break down what we know. How would this membership benefit YOU? Well, according to the WSJ, those who become part of this membership program could get access to certain discount offers or special perks. Exclusive offers and discounts? Okay, we’re listening… EPCOT entrance As of this moment, those discounts and perks haven’t been specified, but WSJ says that the Disney service is meant to be somewhat similar to Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime offers its members perks like free shipping, discounts at Whole Foods, and a complimentary video streaming service. Could we see perks like that added to this new Disney membership offering? Much remains to be seen. The WSJ says that by creating this membership program, “Disney would be betting it could offer customers more value.” Hollywood Studios Now, how would this program benefit Disney? Well, it could actually be a HUGE benefit to them in a few different ways. While still offering members discounts and perks, it could also encourage customers to spend MORE on Disney’s streaming services, parks, resorts, and merchandise. Additionally, it would provide Disney with a “trove of information” about the preferences of those in the membership program. Reportedly, some within the Company are even referring to it as “Disney Prime.” But that’s not expected to be the program’s final name. Would You Join This Membership? Reportedly this new membership effort is supported by Disney’s current CEO, Bob Chapek, who the WSJ notes has been “vocal both internally and publically about the opportunity for Disney to do more to cross-sell to customers.” In a statement, Disney’s senior executive vice president and chief communications officer said, “Technology is giving us new ways to customize and personalize the consumer experience so that we are delivering entertainment, experiences and products that are most relevant to each of our guests…A membership program is just one of the exciting ideas that is being explored.” The Membership Could Be Similar to Amazon Prime ©Amazon Disney does already have a membership program for fans — D23 — the official Disney fan club. That membership costs between $99 and $129.99 per year and offers members access to exclusive merchandise and events and discounts. The new membership program would be different, however, because it would reportedly be “targeted at more casual Disney fans and customers.” This is still very much a developing situation. Thus far, discussions for this program are in the early stages, and details about how much the membership would cost or how long it would take to launch the program haven’t been shared. What do you think? Would you pay for a membership that reportedly packages “streaming, parks and merchandise offerings together,” and offers special perks, while also knowing that it’ll be encouraging you to spend more? Tell us in the comments. Could Another Membership Be in Your Future? We’ll keep an eye out for more news about this membership that is reportedly being developed and let you know what we find.

  6. If you want to buy new Disney merchandise, there are a few different ways to do it. You can visit a Disney park to find all kinds of items in gift shops, head to shopDisney (Disney’s official online store), or find Disney collections through other sites like Amazon. But soon there could be a NEW way to get the merchandise you want. Merchandise in Disney World Disney is working on a new system to link merchandise to its Disney+ streaming service. Learn more about this potential new system and when it could start here. According to the Wall Street Journal, Disney is currently developing a system to “enable subscribers to its Disney+ streaming service to buy merchandise associated with some of its shows by scanning a code on the service.” This is meant to link Disney products and services together in order to boost sales. ©Disney For example, while watching the new Marvel show She Hulk: Attorney at Law, you might be able to scan a code on the screen to purchase some She Hulk merchandise. Disney hasn’t explained the details of this new system, so it’s not clear whether the link would take you to shopDisney, straight to the check-out page for the merchandise, or somewhere else. Disney merchandise This new feature could be introduced as early as this year, although no official starting date has been announced. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has been “vocal both internally and publicly about the opportunity for Disney to do more to cross-sell to customers.” By linking the streaming service to merchandise sales, Disney will combine 2 major money-makers for the company. ©Disney || Bob Chapek The senior executive vice president and chief communications officer at Disney, Kristina Schake, said, “Technology is giving us new ways to customize and personalize the consumer experience so that we are delivering entertainment, experiences and products that are most relevant to each of our guests.” ©Disney We’ll continue to watch for more updates on the latest Disney news, so stay tuned to DFB.

  13. What do you think Disney World is the BEST at doing? Creating Mickey-shaped foods? Creating rides that’ll blow your mind? Providing tourists with an immersive experience? Monorail in EPCOT In your eyes, there might be quite a few things that Disney World is the very BEST at, but now we’ve got one more you might want to add to the list — and it might not be something you expect. Not long ago, Chuck Marohn, the founder and president of Strong Towns, welcomed back Jason Slaughter, the producer of Not Just Bikes, to the Strong Towns podcast. Strong Towns is a nonprofit advocacy organization that “analyzes the failures of the post-war North American development pattern while giving citizens the knowledge and tools to start making our places better today.” Not Just Bikes is a YouTube channel that discusses urban planning and walkable cities. So what does Disney have to do with this? Transportation Well, in a recent podcast, these two hosts touched on a number of topics involving what America gets wrong when building transit. At one point in the podcast, the hosts discussed where the best middle-class transit is located in the U.S. In terms of middle-class transit, Marohn defined that as transportation that the typical or above-typical median income family “would gladly ride and feel joyous and happy doing it.” The answer Chuck Marohn proposes? It’s a place you might not expect…Disney World. Bus transportation at Disney World Marohn pointed out that one key thing is that Disney has a variety of transportation options available — boats, monorails, buses, and more. Another key thing is that these transportation options have a relatively high frequency, reliability, and drop you off right at the door. Marohn explained, “People who would, in normal circumstances absolutely despise and fight against and devalue the types of investments that deliver that, pay…insane amounts of money to go and live for a week in Wonderland…where they can go from a high-density living place with mixed-use development, get on a bus, go to a shopping area, get on a bus, go to a recreation area, and they do it with ease, and they pay a premium to be able to do it.” Disney Skyliner Marohn noted that could be, in part, the result of humans being force-fed a diet of auto-oriented type of design. Slaughter responded by noting that when it comes to transit discourse for North America, people often make the assumption that because a type of transit doesn’t work where they live, that type of transit just doesn’t work. He also noted that there’s sometimes a mentality that public transportation can work in certain other places (like Europe) but not in the U.S. or other places. This encapsulates the idea of “that is there, and this is here” — essentially that things can’t exist in both places. Slaughter noted that in real cities it often comes down to choices that have been made to make things “car-centric” or where good transit and good land use not coming together. Friendship Boat Things in Disney World may feel very unique when compared to the public transit in your town. Some transportation, like the monorail, wasn’t an afterthought (as it can be in some other places) — it was a critical component of the initial design. And while things like the Skyliner were in fact added later on, they may connect you to places in a fun way that you don’t feel like public transit elsewhere does. Plus, there’s the key fact that it is all being run by Disney. While monorails can get stuck and the Skyliner can have its issues, there is a sense of safety and security that many associate with the Disney Company and everything it touches. Hopping on a Disney bus that is driven by a friendly Cast Member and full of fellow tourists on their way around the Most Magical Place on Earth might be something you don’t think twice about. Disney Bus But, despite its many benefits, Disney transportation isn’t perfect. Closures can cause BIG backups, huge lines can form for transportation early in the morning or after big events like fireworks shows, and storms can shut down whole forms of transportation. Just because Disney transportation can be efficient, comfortable, safe, and convenient doesn’t mean it always is. Just ask the people who have gotten stuck on the Skyliner for hours. Credit: Olivia Crowe What do you think? Does Disney World truly succeed when it comes to transportation? Is Disney transportation better or worse than the transportation you have in your town? Is this all a result of guests being essentially funneled into a place where they may feel like they have to use Disney transportation? Tell us your thoughts in the comments. There really is a lot to think about here when it comes to transportation in general and how you may view Disney transportation as compared to that in your own city.

Like, we would probably marry it if we could. One of the best things about ordering from Amazon Prime is being able to order items and receive them super quickly! Cinderella Castle This can come in handy when you’re headed out for a last minute trip, or if it’s a few days before you leave and you realize you need a few things! Don’t worry, Amazon has got you covered! Here are some of our must-haves when we’re packing for Disney, and they’re all available on Prime! BAGAIL 8 Set Packing Cubes Nothing keeps us organized quite like a good set of packing cubes. Packing cubes allow your to sort your belongings to avoid the dreaded giant pile of mess you usually end up with at the end of your vacation. You can use these to separate your items by type, or try packing each day’s outfit together to make getting up, dressed, and out the door in the morning a piece of cake! BAGAIL 8 Set Packing Cubes BAGAIL is one of our favorite brands for all things luggage, and these packing cubes are no exception. This set comes with eight pieces of all different sizes in a matching color scheme (there are over 10 shade options!). This set even has a dedicated bag for shoes as well as a laundry bag! Keep your dirty items separate from your clean clothes easily. Click here to buy the BAGAIL 8 Set Packing Cubes! Disney Tote Mickey & Minnie Mouse Icon Print Zipper Travel Bag Part of the joy of a trip to Disney World is shopping! Whether that’s just for yourself or you want to surprise someone back at home with a souvenir, you’re most likely going to need to save some room in your suitcase for these in-park purchases. An easy way to ensure you’re not overpacking is by packing a tote bag. Disney Tote Mickey & Minnie Mouse Icon Print Zipper Travel Bag We like this one, not just for the adorable print, but because it zips! That way any items you are bringing back with you stay in their assigned seats, no matter what kind of jostling and throwing your luggage undergoes. This could also double as a great park bag, especially if you are planning on bringing your own snacks or meals into the park! Click here to buy the Disney Tote Mickey & Minnie Mouse Icon Print Zipper Travel Bag! iWALK Mini Portable Charger These days, a portable charger is a MUST whether you’re going to Disney or traveling elsewhere. We use our phones all day, and your phone always seems to die right before you need to use it for something important. We keep a portable charger on us both while traveling and in the parks. This makes it so easy to use things like the My Disney Experience app and Genie+ without worrying we’ll run out of power before we can snag that last reservation. iWALK Mini Portable Charger Those who have been following us for a while might know that this is our absolute favorite portable charger! If you’ve never heard of it, we’ll put you on. The iWALK charger is what we recommend to bring to Disney World, not just because of it’s size, but because of the shape. Instead of the typical charger that comes with a cable, this one plugs directly into your phone, which makes is SO much easier to continue using it while it’s charging! This one comes with a lightning adapter for iPhones, but iWALK also makes this product for other inputs as well. Click here to buy the iWALK Mini Portable Charger! Portable Door Lock One thing about traveling — you can never be too safe! When staying in an unfamiliar place, be that a hotel, AirBnB, or even a Disney resort, we prefer to stay prepared. This tiny item can give you some peace of mind. This lock is portable and can be used with almost any doors without causing any damage. Portable Door Lock It’s designed for any force to be shared between the stainless steel and ABS plastic, so there is no stress on the chain. Because you need to remove this to enter and exit, we like using it at night or when we know we’ll be spending an extended amount of time in our room. This is especially helpful if you’re renting a single room while traveling — easily lock your room or bathroom when in use! Click here to buy the Portable Door Lock! Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Spending long days outside can deplete your body’s resources, leaving you dehydrated. During full park days it’s important to drink a ton of water! Sometimes, just drinking water isn’t enough. We swear by these Liquid I.V. packets! They are filled with electrolytes that help hydrate your body faster than just water alone. Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier These packets are gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free. Each packet is a single serving for 16 ounces of water, which is a standard water bottle size. The best part is that they taste great! This listing is for the Passion Fruit flavor, but they have other options like Strawberry, Watermelon, and more. Try these and you just might not go back to regular water on your trips! Click here to buy the Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier! Etekcity Luggage Scale The dreaded luggage weight limit. Foe to all super shoppers everywhere! We try to pack relatively lightly when planning a Disney trip, but making park purchases is inevitable and sometimes we go a bit overboard. Most hotel rooms don’t have scales in them, so bring your own! A handheld luggage scale is small, convenient, and can end up saving you money. Etekcity Luggage Scale If you’re planning on using this while on your trip, what we suggest doing is use the scale to weigh your suitcase before leaving to get a base weight. Then about halfway through your trip, add any new purchases to your empty suitcase to see what the additional weight will be. If that new weight plus the old weight is considerably under your airline’s luggage weight max, then you’re good! But if it’s getting close, keep that in mind for any new purchases you might be making. Click here to buy the Etekcity Luggage Scale!

Typhoon Lagoon Water Park Yep, you can get souvenirs at Disney World that include a snack or a drink, like popcorn buckets or sipper cups.

These are usually refillable so they could actually end up saving you some money! And now, we have an update on a souvenir sipper cup over in one of Disney World’s water parks! This is the Miss Tilly Sipper Cup! This is a sipper designed to look like the Miss Tilly boat located in Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. We saw this earlier this year when Disney showed us a sneak peek at the foods and souvenirs coming to the H2O Glow Nights after hours event. ©Disney But, Disney just shared a video on TikTok of the sipper saying it’s available now throughout the park! Previously, you could only get it at the after hours event. You can get the sipper at Leaning Palms, Typhoon Tilly’s, Lowtide Lou’s, and the Tropicalamity “Crush” Cart in Typhoon Lagoon. Buying it includes a frozen non-alcoholic beverage and they are limited to 2 per person. Typhoon Tilly’s H2O Glow Nights are over for the year in the water park, so we’re excited that you can now get the sipper during regular park hours!

  25. Whether it’s flight cancelations, mishandled luggage, or delays — your next flight to Disney World (or anywhere else for that matter) could be complicated. Travel has been in the news a lot lately Add flight costs to that and you’ve got a lot to consider before you hop on a plane for your travels. Each month we take a look at the average cost to fly to Disney World in a future month. This month, we’re taking a look at the costs for October. What’s a realistic budget for a flight to the Most Magical Place on Earth in October? Let’s find out. Our Method If you’re new to our monthly flight cost posts, here’s a quick rundown of what we do to get to our numbers. We limit our search to see what it would cost to fly from a few different airports in the U.S. to Orlando International Airport (MCO). We also limit our search to just a few different airlines. Keep in mind that the airline you prefer or the airport you like to fly out of may not be included in our search. Orlando International Airport We also restrict our search to flight costs for a limited number of days in the month. We usually look for a flight that leaves on a Thursday and returns on a Monday. For this trip, we looked at a trip that departed on October 13th and returned on October 17th. When we looked at the various Thursday-Monday trips in October, this had neither the most expensive nor the least expensive starting round trip price. It also avoided the Halloween holiday, so you could be at home with plenty of time to trick-or-treat! (To make this choice and look at those average prices, we looked at flights from JFK/LGA to MCO.) ©Google Keep in mind — your flight cost can vary greatly depending on the dates you pick for your travels, what airline you select, where you’ll be flying from, etc. Let’s go over a few more technical things quickly: We used Google Flights to get most of our prices, except for the costs associated with Southwest Airlines flights. Costs can change often. All prices are base ticket prices. To calculate our numbers, we looked at the least expensive departing and returning flights for each airline from each airport listed. We then looked at the most expensive departing and returning flights for each. That gave us our numbers for each airline from each airport. Getting Ready to Fly Soon? Make Sure You’re Budgeting Appropriately There may be additional taxes and fees due (on top of these base ticket prices) when you go to book. The flight times, number of layovers, etc. may not be compatible with your trip plans so keep that in mind. We only picked “Wanna Get Away” tickets for Southwest Airlines (when possible). We stuck to flights that arrived on the same day as their departure (i.e. no layovers that wouldn’t get you there until the following day). All prices are just for 1 person Now, let’s get to those flight costs! New York (JFK or LaGuardia) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $301.17 from LGA (taxes and fees add an additional $69.79) Most expensive combination of flights: $579.31 round trip from LGA (taxes and fees add an additional $95.15) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $158 round trip from LGA Most expensive combination of flights: $1,604 round trip from JFK United: Cheapest combination of flights: $325 round trip from LGA Most expensive combination of flights: $1,074 round trip from LGA American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $158 round trip from LGA (utilizing JetBlue) Most expensive combination of flights: $817 round trip from JFK Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $196 round trip from LGA Most expensive combination of flights: $368 round trip from LGA Southwest Flight Los Angeles (LAX) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $482.57 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $83.39) Most expensive combination of flights: $769.08 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $104.88) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $462 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,256 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $456 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $965 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $478 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,576 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $371 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $796 round trip Flights Are Being Canceled Left and Right, Make Sure You Know Your Rights Chicago O’Hare (ORD) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $255.60 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $57.37) Most expensive combination of flights: $610.94 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $93.02) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $344 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,058 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $251 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,196 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $314 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,140 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $192 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $604 round trip Be Sure to Pack Your Patience For Your Upcoming Trips Dallas (Love Field – DAL, or Fort Worth – DFW) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $294.66 round trip from DAL (taxes and fees are an additional $60.30) Most expensive combination of flights: $703.96 round trip from DAL (taxes and fees are an additional $93.02) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $524 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $1,258 round trip from DAL United: Cheapest combination of flights: $372 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $959 round trip from DFW American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $417 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $1,483 round trip from DFW Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $229 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $641 round trip from DFW Which Airline Do You Prefer to Fly With? Atlanta (ATL) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $138.38 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $39.58) Most expensive combination of flights: $471.40 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $82.56) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $280 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $598 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $503 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,079 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $275 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,234 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $138 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $527 round trip Where Are You Off To?

The cheaper flights seem to have INCREASED in cost when compared to the numbers we saw for September, but perhaps this makes sense since October has some more tourist-drawing events as we get closer to Halloween. The lower-end number is still cheaper, however, than the costs we saw for the “cheaper” flights in August, July, June, and May. Average Cost to Fly In terms of the higher-end, that cost is actually LOWER than the “most expensive flight” costs we calculated for September, August, and several other months. It had been predicted that flight costs will go down this fall, but some predicted that flight costs would then increase in October in November. It seems like that is playing out (at least when it comes to looking at those cheaper flights), but, of course, flight costs can change. Jet fuel prices, demand, capacity, disruptions in flight schedules, and more could all factor into future flight changes. What Now? Now that you’ve got a realistic idea of what to budget, what should you do? If the costs are within your budget, you could hop on them now and book your trip. You could also use Google Flights or flight tracking apps to get an idea about when flight costs might dip over the next few days or weeks. Remember that flight costs change all the time, so you’ll really want to keep an eye out for changes.
