Orlando Travel Forecast Points to Possible Disney World Labor Day Rebound

An official airport outlook of roughly 891,000 travelers over six days signals a modest holiday tourism uptick for Central Florida.

Overview

  • Orlando International Airport projects nearly 891,000 passengers from Aug. 29 to Sept. 3, about a 3% increase from last year.
  • Friday, Aug. 29, is expected to be the busiest day at MCO with more than 161,000 travelers, according to the airport.
  • MCO passenger counts indicate regional demand rather than direct Walt Disney World attendance, so any park rebound remains unconfirmed.
  • EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival opened Aug. 28 and runs through Nov. 22, though Spaceship Earth is temporarily closed for refurbishment.
  • Resort projects and pricing pressures continue to shape plans, with active work in Frontierland, a DinoLand U.S.A. retheme, Grand Avenue updates, and higher costs including paid Lightning Lane options.
