Lets say you need 50,000 miles...

DEN-MCO (Orlando)

3092miles RT

about $200 for a L fare

You would need 16 round trips for around 49,472miles
out of it, you would qualify for 64 points for the Denver promo, meaning you could add to that either 180,000RDM miles or 2 C class tickets anywhere UA flyes (or mix-and-match)

All has to be done by the 15th of Nov though.

And, if you need that DEQM, add the cost ($500) to 16RTx$200 = $3700PP, but with that, you would get your 1K, your SWUs, CR1s, etc of all the 1K perks, and also your choice of 90,000miles x 2 or C ticket where UA flys x2

and with the 49,472x2 = 98944total EQM. Youll need about 1,056 more EQMs. to make 100,000 from 0. You could open a Chase Plat card, and as a 1K you would get the fee waived and get 5,000 EQM, bringing you over the top.

But 16 RT by Nov 15th...

Heres how you could do it.
DEN 08:11 AM MCO 01:32 PM
MCO 03:05 PM DEN 05:05 PM
DEN 07:00 PM MCO 12:21 AM
Sleep for a short time in Orlando..
MCO 06:05 AM DEN 08:05 AM
DEN 10:05 AM MCO 03:26 PM
MCO 05:44 PM DEN 07:44 PM
And sleep at home.
Repeat at least 4 more times
