How to save on Washington to Orlando flights

Shift your departure by one or two days — midweek departures on this route are consistently cheaper than Friday and Sunday.
Book four to eight weeks ahead. Last-minute fares on WAS to MCO routinely run double the advance price.
Compare all 5 carriers rather than checking one airline's own site.
Avoid the weeks around Christmas, Easter and mid-June to mid-August if you can; both airfare and park crowds peak.
Sanford (SFB) serves budget carriers and can undercut MCO significantly.
Book park tickets before you fly — gate prices are higher and popular dates sell out.
