Because the travel companies love to exploit the tourists and travellers and make even more money out of them by putting the price up during school holidays, its so unfair, is it any wonder parents are breaking the rules and taking their kids on holidays out of school term time, we have no children ourselves but my hubby's job dictates we have our holidays the same time as the schools, its really frustrating for us having to always pay the higher prices, I feel so sorry for people with kiddies who are totally exploited by travel agents making a quick buck out of them, I really thought the government were supposed to be doing something about it, guess we should all have private jets like Tony Blair and get freebies holidays too.

yup its supply and demand
the airlines struggle to fill the plane outside these dates, so they are not generating as much cash.. either they are lossleading to get seats filled.
In times of peak demand they charge they full rate, with few if any discounts. its the same with package holiday prices.. you get charegd the full/normal rate in school holidays, if you can travle outside those dates it will be cheaper as the travel company has had to block book the accomodation for the full year, and therefore is charging what thye think they can get, rahter than what it actaully costs.
so perhaps your question should be why is it so cheap to fly to Orlando outside peak season.

Supply and Demand matey!
School hols etc means more people trying to get into the same booking you want - limited availability - more people for same spaces - hence the price doubles! Nature of the beast!

Must be a combination of school holidays and some driving desire to go to orlando. Must be a USA thing.

Supply and demand factor. Only so many tickets available, so they can raise the prices.
