But Chris Carson's suggestion of Orlando would be better because:

Disney subsidized airfares. Disney World in Orlando seems to make sure
that airfares from Europe are the lowest available.

Better weather: Pittsburgh at the end of October is cold and windy.

Less traffic. Orlando is not crowded during October, as schools are in
session, and tourists are home. Thus the attractions won't have long
lines.

It can still be carried live on ICC or FICS.

Note that I live in Portland, OR so I am not arguing for Orlando because
it's closer.
