for the past three years I have flown from Western Canada to meet my sister and her family from the Toronto area at DisneyWorld during the first week of November. We had never heard of Jersey week until three years ago.
That year, 2002, and last year the crowds were manageable: this year especially Nov 6 and 7, the crowds were extremely large. My niece never got onto Space Mountain at all those days because of the long lines: even with the fast passes she would have had to wait almost six hours (yes the lines were that long).
Worse the line for Buzz Lightyear was over one hour, even with a fast pass the lline was almost 25minutes.
I have been at the MK during Christmas and New Years, yet the crowd during the Nov 6/7 weekend was the largest I have ever seen at MK.
good thing we arrived Oct 25 and had lots of time to see everything many times before the crowds arrived.
But all in all, it was still a great time.
Still have bruises from all the strollers hitting me from behind from that weekend.
