Orlando

Sure, the “happiest place on earth” is a kid magnet, but even grown-ups know this Florida destination isn’t just for the little ones. And with fall ushering the younger set back into the classrooms, you won’t have to share the adrenaline-pumping rides at Walt Disney World, the marine life magic of SeaWorld, or special autumnal events like Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. What's more, you won't have to dig too deep into the piggy bank for the privilege either, thanks to the discounted resort rates common at this time of year. The one catch? While sunny temps abound, early fall can be affected by hurricane season, although its landlocked status usually spares Orlando the brunt of the big storms.

How: Fly nonstop to Orlando International Airport (MCO) from more than 70 U.S. cities including Dallas/Fort Worth (AirTran, American; 2.5 hours), Los Angeles (American, Delta, United, US Airways; 5 hours), and New York (American, Continental, Delta, JetBlue; 3 hours).
