Orlando travel

If you don’t have plans for next weekend, now you do. Cheapflights’ Next Weekend Away Series is all about providing you with stellar, last-minute weekend trips, so get ready to pack up and go.

This week, we’re highlighting Orlando, Florida. With its countless theme parks and year-round warm weather, Orlando attracts visitors from all over the world to kick back, relax and enjoy a little play time.

Weekend: Friday, July 30-Monday, Aug 2

While you’re here, check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which just opened last month, and is said to be one of the most momentous theme park establishments ever created. Other attractions in the area include family friendly favorites like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.

Stay at the Regal Sun Resort, which is the closest hotel to Downtown Disney without actually being inside the park. By staying outside the franchise, you’ll save on accommodations.

If you book your room through bookit.com, you’ll save more than 55 percent off, and pay $59 per night, instead of the usual $139. You’ll also get four free tickets to Disney World, free shuttles to the park, and a reduced resort fee. The best part? Kids eat free the whole time they’re at the hotel. Take advantage of this 99-hour sale in for a fun-packed family weekend.

Sample flights to Orlando are based on round-trip purchases with departures on Friday, July 30, and returns on Monday, Aug 2.

New York flights to Orlando, from $286
Boston flights to Orlando, from $236
Atlanta flights to Orlando, from $222
