With multiple budget airlines canceling routes to one Orlando airport, certain fans who are looking to save on flights will have to shell out more to enjoy that quintessential Disney vacation.

Going to Disney World is not an insignificant cost. Any Disney fan who has made the trip out to the Central Florida Disney Resort knows how expensive this can be, and this becomes doubly true when you’re not a Florida or Orlando resident.

For this reason, cheap flights have been a godsend for many guests who fly into Orlando International Airport to enjoy their Disney dreams. However, now, with some budget airlines canceling some of their Orlando routes, guests will have to pay more to make their way to Disney.

Spirit Airlines Cancels MCO Route

As reported by the Orlando Business Journal, after the failure of the JetBlue merger deal, Spirit has officially begun cutting down on the number of routes it offers. Among these suspended routes is the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to MCO.

This has happened following the suspension of several other domestic routes by Spirit in an effort to conserve and redistribute resources. This is likely because there wasn’t enough demand for this route.

Last April, the route ran 53 times, but had dwindled to 14 times by November.

Lynx Air Files for Bankruptcy, Canceling All MCO Flights Effective Immediately 

Last month, Canada’s Lynx Air filed for bankruptcy and ceased all its operations beginning February 26, as reported by Reuters. The challenges the company faced of “rising operating costs, high fuel prices and increasing airport charges” had become “too significant to overcome.”

Lynx was a relatively new airline and had only been in business since April 2022.

It’s certainly an unfortunate turn of events for any Canadians who want to come to the United States, and particularly any Canadian Disney World fans who might choose to enjoy their time at the Central Florida Disney Park.

While some of these budget airlines have removed their Orlando routes, there are still alternatives that could work for the frequent flyer. By researching different airlines and comparing their fares, you can find cost-effective options that align with your budgetary constraints, enabling you to reach Disney World without racking up exorbitant travel costs.

With good planning, it’s possible to make sure your Disney vacation stays within budget and doesn’t break the bank! It’s essential to consider various cost-saving strategies to ensure your trip remains economical without compromising on fun and quality experiences.

By incorporating budget-conscious tips into your Disney vacation planning, you can navigate the financial aspects of your trip more effectively and make the most of your experience without overspending.

Prioritizing cost-saving strategies in various aspects of your trip, from transportation to accommodation and dining, allows you to enjoy the magic of Disney within a reasonable budget, ensuring a memorable and financially sustainable visit to the renowned theme park.
